My name is Irene García Núñez and right now I am 39. I come from Guadalajara, a town close to Madrid but live in beautiful Barcelona.
I understood very early that I like teaching Spanish and studied my masters of Linguistics applied to teaching Spanish as a foreign language to do so. I have lived in France, India, Germany and Russia teaching Spanish. During these 15 years teaching (and counting!) I learnt a lot about different methods, people and logics.
I love teaching and learning new languages because they bring us closer.
Me as a Teacher
My role as a teacher is to guide, to provide useful resources and to walk with the student in the process of learning, being ahead of the problems or doubts they may have.
My main goal is for students to feel comfortable and safe and, of course, to make Spanish fun! I think motivation and good feelings are key when learning new languages. I myself have been a learner and know how it feels to be helpless and lost. But I also know how good it feels to see how you are improving!
I also speak English, French, German and Russian. I can explain in the student′ s mother tongue if necessary although my goal will be to speak Spanish from the very beginning. I follow mainly a communicative approach.
My lessons & teaching style
Are you a total beginner? Already done some Spanish but want to improve? Got some grammar issues? Want to work on your communication? Preparing for an exam? Tell me what you need Spanish for! It is your goal and personal style of learning what will define what our classes look like. I use a variety of resources (textbooks, articles, small videos, audios...) to have different approaches to grammar, vocabulary, cultural topics, communicative situations...
I like introducing content in a logical and organized way, providing examples, exercises and homework so that what is to be learnt is doable. I adapt my classes to what students want and need so they make the most of their time and money.
