I grew up in NYC & Colombia. I developed a long career teaching business executives, training instructors and managing multiple language schools. But my heart is in teaching. After 20 years living in the US, I relocated to the south of Spain and I am loving it. I am quite easy going, funny and easily make friends. I enjoy traveling and exploring.
Crecí en Nueva York y en Colombia. Desarrollé una carrera en Berlitz, enseñando a ejecutivos , capacitando instructores y dirigiendo múltiples escuelas de idiomas. Pero mi corazón está en la enseñanza. Despues de 20 anos en USA, me trasladé al sur de España y me encanta. Soy bastante relajada, divertida y hago amigos fácilmente.
Me as a Teacher
As a teacher I am very patient and caring. My significant experience at Berlitz has given me the ability to quickly assess the student's level and learning style so classes can be adapted to his/her/their needs. I have honed-in on specific techniques to introduce various type of material. I am also quite creative and I have the skill set to improvise on new material.
Como profesor, soy muy paciente y atenta. Mi amplia experiencia en Berlitz me ha dado la capacidad de evaluar rápidamente el nivel del estudiante y su estilo de aprendizaje para adaptar las clases a sus necesidades. He perfeccionado técnicas específicas para introducir diversos tipos de material.
My lessons & teaching style
I truly believe that learning a language has to be primarily through conversation, regardless of the level. I have witnessed the impact of this technique through my many years teaching at Berlitz. Hence, meaningful and purposeful conversations are my goals. I "drill" grammatical structures through a question and answer format. We will do a lot of role-plays. I pay close attention in subtly correcting and emphasizing on pronunciation.
Son fiel creyente que un idioma se aprende a traves de conversacion. Por tanto tendremos muchas conversaciones y " Role Plays" (dramatizaciones ). Siempre he puesto especial atencion a corregir, bien sea estructuras gramaticales como pronunciacion.
