I´m Sandra, from Buenos Aires. I have been teaching languages for many, many years to a lot of different people so I´ve acquired a lot of experience. It´s not only just loving Spanish and English as languages and as a huge part of two interesting cultures. It´s helping people to feel good about learning and communicating in a language which is not their mother-tongue: that´s so so valuable and exciting!
Apart from languages there are a number of things I also like a lot: travelling, working out, watching films, gardening and last but not least, sharing time with muy friends, my family and my two lovely cats.

Me as a Teacher
I´ve been fascinated with languages, mainly Spanish and English, since I was a kid. That´s why I´m so passionate and committed about teaching them. In my view, this is what it is about: guiding, sharing, encouraging and interchanging all we´ve got to become better and happier people.
My lessons & teaching style
Thorughout all these years as a teacher I´ve learnt at least one thing: the center of the class is the student, so he or she should be the one who speaks and participates the most. That´s why my approach is communicative and student centered.
Something which is also key, in my opinion, is fun. The more relaxed the lesson is, the easier and faster, the learning.
I also believe that a variety of activities is not only engaging but really effective so I include a range of tasks to practise each skill in all possible ways.

I had another great lesson with Sandra and am really glad to have found her as a teacher. She is very patient with me and always in a good mood which helps me a lot to keep going even though the first few attempts in Spanish are difficult for me. But with her help and the structure she gives within the lesson it feels like I already am making progress :)
