About Me
italki teacher since Jan 20, 2015InterestsFilms & TV SeriesHistoryTravel
I love traveling, writing, reading, teaching and learning different languages, I choose this as a career because I love knowing different people around the world, they are not my students they are my friends I learn a lot of invaluable things with this kind of job, and at the same time I love my mother tongue and I'm always excited about sharing things about my own culture. In my free time, i love planning new trips, listening music, cooking something new or writing a post on my personal blog.Me as a Teacher
My name is Lorena Castaño Alvarez im professional in Modern Languages (English, French and Italian), and an extra study in business translation, I love teaching and I have three years of experience teaching Spanish as professional in Whee Institute a school in my city Bogotá, I use to teach all the levels: A1, A2, B1, B2, and C1, with reading, exercises, speaking and different games (especially games!) for creating a dynamic environment.My lessons & teaching style
I teach all the levels, but i have for each one a different methodology:
A1: In this part the most important thing is getting new vocabulary and learn the phonetics, in this level i teach basic sentence, personal presentation, how to ask for the address, present tense, progressive and reflexives.
A2: In this part we will start with the past tense, future, imperative, OD and OI.
B1: In this part we check the subjuntive and conditional. (Conversational class.
B2: Future subjuntive, perfect subjuntive (Conversational class).
C1: Conversational class and writting skils
These are the topics, you choose the kind of material you want to develop.My teaching material

i have recommended lorena to 4 friends, because there is no better teacher at meeting you at your spanish level, while also slowly challenging your vocabularly and conjugation. she makes good conversation, has interesting visual aids that prompt discussion, and is especially good at dealing with spanglish -- the crazy phrases and words we use when we're learning spanish -- she can figure it out. you won't find a better teacher.

Lorena adjusted her schedule to accommodate mine, a very good benefit.
She was courteous and helpful. I am doing the long slog through the subjunctive which is very hard and seems to have a million rules and exceptions to rules. Lorena can explain all this in Spanish or English.
Five Star all the way.
