⚠️ Not attending, no notification: no rescheduling, lesson will set as completed.My lessons & teaching style
As a foreigner living abroad, I could understand how difficult to learn a language can be. Because of this, my classes are oriented to enhance the student’s confidence and fluency.
Given my communications background, I mainly focus in speaking. I also offer a solid grammar program, but always oriented to practical situations in the students' life. For classes, my teaching style is based in the PPP method (Presentation, Practice, Production) - a Communication Language Teaching approach.
My areas of expertise:
✔️ Conversational Spanish
✔️ Spanish for Beginners
✔️ Spanish for KidsMy teaching material

Thank you Dina for supporting my Spanish journey for the whole time! Through her classes, I feel that I get more confident in talking. She is really flexible and gives regularly homework and it helps me to improve my Spanish outside my lessons.

Dina is a fantastic teacher. We have just completed our sixth lesson with her and she is always well prepared, engaging and makes the sessions so enjoyable. Dina has taken on teaching my husband and I (in our 40's) alongside our 2 children (aged 10 and 12). We are all beginner and we cannot believe how fun the lessons are or how much we are learning - thank you Dina!
