About Me
italki teacher since May 18, 2020Me as a Teacher
I have been teaching languages for over 20 years. My bachelor's degree is in Spanish, Portuguese and Latin American Studies and I am a fully qualified Modern Foreign Languages teacher. I have also completed the CELTA (Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults) course. I have experience of teaching all levels (beginners to advanced) and all age groups (infants to adults). I have also prepared students for Cambridge and IELTS official exams.My lessons & teaching style
My approach to teaching is flexible, I can adapt to the needs and objectives of the learner. The main focus is on conversation and lessons can be structured around vocabulary, grammar or current affairs topics. We can include games and songs to help with language retention and fluency. Of course, I am happy to set and mark homework if requested.My teaching material

Alex is a very good teacher! In our first lesson we focused in know each other and get a plan for the next lessons. We talked about anything!! She also corrected me every time I made a mistake. I'm looking forward to take more lessons with Alex!

It's a great honor to choose Alex as my teacher. She is the first foreign English teacher in my life. She really has empathy and understands students' demands. I think learning English with Alex is the most valuable experience on the way to learning.
