Hello Everyone! My name is Barbara and I teach English here on Italki. I have been a teacher since 2013 and I have worked both online and in language academies all over Spain. I studied English Language and Linguistics at University of Essex in the UK and I did my teacher's training in London, where I got my CELTA certification. CELTA (Certificate in Teaching English to Adults) is issued by the University of Cambridge and it is a guarantee of quality in teaching.
Meine Kreationen
Ich als Lehrkraft
I have lived in different countries (The UK, The Netherlands, Belgium and France), so I am used to foreign speakers of English. That is why I am aware of language problems they usually have to face. I focus on teaching approaches that help students develop all four skills (speaking, listening, reading and writing) needed to be an expert in a language.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
I think it is extremely important to listen to students' preferences and purpose for taking the class. I use a lot of authentic material and interactive exercises which help the learner use the language in real-life situations. I also do preparation for Cambridge exams (PET, FCE, CAE, CPE) and IELTS.

Very nice introductory conversation lesson with Barbara . She speaks clearly and seemed to be very kind and attentive with the student. She had prepared conversation topics in advance and encourages students to speak the language, giving them a feedback at the end, rather than interrupting them unnecessarily .

The class was very interesting and motivating. We read some articles, and I received suggestions to improve my pronunciation and vocabulary. Barbara is very dynamic, and a great help to my learning.

Barbara had prepared some exercices for me according to my needs and my level. She is very organized and enthusiastic. She speaks a perfect French, which could help French learners, but the entire lesson was in English. Tank you very much.

I really enjoyed my first lesson with Barbara. She was prepared and knew perfectly how to manage the class. I will surely take other classes!

Barbara est très agréable, un thème est préparé pour chaque conversation mais il ne sert que de cadre, les échanges restent libres en fonction du sujet. Le but est clairement de nous faire pratiquer et ça fonctionne ! Je recommande Barbara qui a de plus des connaissances en français, un +!
