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.

Die erste Stunde mit Ruth war super schön, sehr sympathisch, intensiv und wir sind sofort auf ganz viele unterschiedliche Themen gekommen, über die man sicherlich noch lange weitersprechen könnte. Ruth ist sehr aufgeschlossen und einfühlsam und konnte sich perfekt auf das jeweils angeschnittene Thema einstellen. Eine perfekte Konversationsstunde, wie sie besser nicht sein könnte. Mir macht es viel Spaß, mich in einer Unterhaltung einfach treiben zu lassen. Gerne bald wieder!

It was a pleasure to have my first lesson with Ruth. For me it was unusual, because Ruth say we acquire a language , we don't learn it. I think she is correct. I enjoyed her approach, listen and repeat. I was free to make mistakes , like child, which was fun, no fear making mistakes and Ruth was very patient correcting me. I will be taken more classes with her, Gracias Ruth.

Had a great lesson with Ruth! She was very kind and had an insightful evaluation to identify where I could continue to improve my Spanish. Definitely recommend if you’re looking to improve your Spanish though oral expression over grammar drills.

She is a slow-paced teacher. Perfect for beginners or anyone that wants to brush up on their high school Spanish. If you want someone who is calm and patient to teach you then she is the right one!
