About Me
italki teacher since Mar 26, 2019Interest topicArtHistoryMedical & Healthcare
Born in Venezuela, I'm a native Spanish speaker, interested in all matters related to arts, culture, travel, animal rescue and the environment. The latter being a real challenge in my country, but clearly one has to try and make the world a better place, right? Back when I was a kid, I was always reading everything I could lay my hands on. It was books -and TV- that led me to learn English and French, before I even began formal studies at a language academy. Also, encouraged by TV -and a lot of patience from my parents,- I became interested in animal rescue, ultimately adopting 9 cats. Also this cat lady loves yoga, aerial silks and climbing!Me as a Teacher
Though Spanish is my first language, I speak/read/write English and French fluently. Precisely because I know just how hard it is to learn a new language, I would love to guide you through your learning experience and help you express yourself as soon as possible. Feel comfortable to make mistakes, I did too and it's all part of the learning process. Be patient with yourself!My lessons & teaching style
I like teaching with hands-on practice, topic debate, discussing videos or articles - something that spikes curiosity, something students care about. Of course, it depends on each level, but being interested is the first step to learning! In my experience, people learn the most when they don't realize they're studying, which is why I like to include games as well. Each person learns in different ways, for some it's easier if they read or if they draw, for others it works better with conversation, and other people find comfort in structure and rules. I'd like to explore how each of my students learn and help them feel comfortable with all the big 4: grammar, writing, listening and speaking.My teaching material
