Me as a Teacher
Estudié periodismo, por lo que tengo buen dominio del idioma español, correcta pronunciación, buena ortografía y un amplio vocabulario. Soy una persona paciente y respetuosa para hacer las correcciones necesarias de manera asertiva.
I studied journalism and worked in national newspapers and magazines In addition to being a native speaker, I consequently had to develop a specific professional proficiency in the Spanish language, with good pronunciation, correct spelling and an extensive vocabulary. I am an understanding, patient and respectful person while making the necessary corrections assertively.
My lessons & teaching style
Propongo practicar el español a través de la conversación, adaptada al nivel y los intereses de cada estudiante para que las clases sean más animadas y útiles. Para estimular la fluidez en la conversación y el manejo de nuevo vocabulario uso técnicas como desarrollar juntos planes para alcanzar objetivos, lo cual obliga al estudiante a pensar y expresarse en español sobre temas de utilidad en su vida.
I propose to practice Spanish through conversation, adapted to the level and interests of each student so that the classes are more lively and useful. To stimulate fluency in conversation and the use of new vocabulary, I use techniques such as developing plans to achieve goals.
I have had a conversation with Norma every week for many months. I am very pleased that I can have meaningful conversations with such an intelligent, personable person and not feel lost. Norma makes me feel comfortable and not afraid to stumble along and correct myself as I am speaking. I encourage anyone who has fear of speaking with a native Spanish speaker to have some conversations with Norma. They will enjoy them and improve a lot.

I discovered Norma through her Youtube channel (KaizenSpanish). After watching a bunch of her videos, I thought, why not book a lesson through iTalki? I really appreciate all the work she has put into creating and sharing great content for Spanish language learners. Norma is patient and knowledgeable and I had a wonderful time talking with her today.

Simply the best teacher. I’ve been working with Norma during the entire quarantine (classes almost every day), and she has improved my Spanish SO MUCH. I owe her a lot. I have and would recommend her to anyone trying to learn Spanish, anyone that wants a teacher that works with your ability. Very diligent, prepared, and quite knowledgeable!

Norma is very clear and easy to understand. She provided help to me in a non-intrusive way, and made suggestions for what to work on. Would definitely recommend!

He tenido clases de conversación con Norma por más de un año. Siempre tengo muchas ganas de hablar con ella. Nuestra conversaciones siempre son interesante y aprendo mucho mientras practico. También los cursos y canal de YouTube de Norma han sido una gran ayuda para mi. Sobre todo, me alegra que Norma sea tan buena amiga como maravillosa maestra.
