Me as a Teacher
After I finished highschool, I joined college to study English and Spanish. I studied a wide variety of subjects, such as Literature, Grammar, Linguistics, Phonology, and Discourse Analyses, among others. I have spent the last seven years learning this amazing phenomenon called language. Nowadays, I have an associate degree in Translation, a certification as a Spanish teacher and I am finishing a Bachelor's Degree in Translation and Linguistics.
Apart from studying, I have worked as a teacher. I have experience in teaching both languages to teenagers and adults, from beginner to advanced levels. I have resources to teach grammar, written expression, vocabulary, reading and conversation.My lessons & teaching style
My classes are addapted to the student's needs. I believe that each class has to find a balance between theory and practice, grammar and conversation. Conversation is one of the greatest aims in learning a language, but an efficient conversation needs a strong theoretic background. Above all, I try to give my students all they need to use language for everyday situations.My teaching material

Manuel was very approachable, supportive, and clear in the trial lesson. He explained his approach and how it may benefit me, and helped me clarify for myself what I would get out of this. He was interested in my experience, my work, and my interests in general and with spanish. I look forward to the next one.
