About Me
italki teacher since May 21, 2019InterestsFoodPets & AnimalsTravel
Hi there! My name is Natalia and I´m a TESOL-specialised teacher from Spain. I´ve been travelling the world since I was 9 and have lived in wonderful countries such as England, Japan, the UAE, Lebanon and Germany. I´ve also had the opportunity to travel to over 60 cities worldwide, so as you can see travelling is one of my passions.
Learning English at a young age has helped me connect with different cultures, which has shaped my
global mindset. Since this has been a truly rewarding experience, here I am, looking forward to
teaching you so you can have similar opportunities.Me as a Teacher
I have over 6 years of experience in teaching Spanish and English and hold a C2 Proficiency qualification from Cambridge, as well as a TESOL Certificate from Arizona State University. I also have experience in teaching students with ADHD and with reading and writing difficulties, such as dyslexia.
Additionally, I hold a degree in Childhood and Youth Studies, which, along with several other certificates, allows me to better understand the needs of the student related to teaching and education. For more detailed information, you can refer to my resume and certificates.My lessons & teaching style
I´ve been preparing students of all levels for Cambridge examination, but, my lessons will be focused on your needs, whether it´s, reading and use of English, listening, speaking, pronunciation or all combined.
As languages have their quirks, my lessons will be structured and well organised. That doesn´t mean that everything will be followed to the letter; we´re going to have spontaneous activities that would allow you to think on your feet, so you are able to learn how to maintain a natural conversation.
I look forward to welcoming you to one of my classes.My teaching material

He tenido con Natalia alrededor de 4 clases para preparar un examen de forma intensiva.
Su experiencia y buen hacer son dos de sus virtudes como profesora, pero no las únicas: profesionalidad, capacidad de motivar al alumnado y de adaptarse a él...
Totalmente recomendable en todas las facetas.

I have been learning Spanish from Natalia in Italk for more than one year and it has been a great experience. She is a very thoughtful teacher who puts a lot of thought into how she presents the material. Her lessons were engaging, useful, and she was very patient with me in class always encouraging me as a student to try. I would highly recommend her to anyone interested in learning Spanish.
He estado aprendiendo español de Natalia en Italk durante más de un año y ha sido una gran experiencia. Es una maestra muy considerada que piensa mucho en cómo presenta el material. Sus lecciones fueron interesantes, útiles y fue muy paciente conmigo en clase, siempre alentándome como estudiante a intentarlo. La recomendaría a cualquier persona interesada en aprender español.
أنا تعلمت اللغة الإسبانية من ناتاليا في Italk لأكثر من عام وهي تجربة جدا رائعة. ف نتاليا معلمة متمكنه للغاية تضع الكثير من الجهد في كيفية تقديمها للمادة. دروسها جذابة ومفيدة ، وهي صبورًا جدًا معي في الفصل وتشجعني دائمًا كطالب على المحاولة. فأن أوصي بها بشدة لأي شخص مهتم بتعلم اللغة الإسبانية

Natalia is very sweet and made great use of the zoom screen to help my six-year old daughter practice reading in Spanish. She enjoyed her first lesson!
