About Me
italki teacher since Nov 2, 2024InterestsSports & FitnessArtFilms & TV SeriesPets & AnimalsMusic
My name is Ruth, I'm Argentine and I've lived in Brazil for 25 years.
The languages I speak fluently are Spanish, Portuguese and I also have intermediate English.
I graduated in teaching/pedagogy and also in Systems Analysis and Data Processing.Me as a Teacher
I have been working since 2008 as Spanish and Portuguese teacher/translator in several companies, including multinationals, language schools and preparing students for the SIELE and DELE exams with the Instituto Cervantes.My lessons & teaching style
My classes use the DIRECT APPROACH, (where the student acquires fluency in a second language in 1/4 of the time) because I teach the student to ACQUIRE the language instead of learning it, just as he once acquired his mother tongue, naturally, unconsciously and spontaneously. That's why my classes are all designed with Power Point animations where the student will see, listen, understand, repeat, answer questions... That is, he will speak Spanish from the first minute of the class and in the first? he will already know more than 100 new words.
He can also have access to all the audios of the classes, to download them on his cell phone and the texts of readings and dictations.My teaching material

I love Ruth as a person and teacher and her lessons are my favourite. I think the method is very effective and not boring. See you next time!

Great class as always. I really love Ruth's teaching style. I feel like I learn and remember more this in way that I ever have trying to learn in other ways. Reccomend 100%

Wie immer war es ein sehr interessantes, lebendiges, sympathisches Gespräch mit Ruth, so dass ich mich auf ein baldiges nächstes Mal freue.

Had a really good first lesson with Ruth, she got me speaking a lot from the start, even though my Spanish is currently very limited!

Ruth uses what she calls "Direct Method". It seems to be very similar to Comprehensible Input which is the approach that I am looking for with a Spanish teacher. Her lesson was very clear and engaging.
