Dear future student:
I am Yemina, a native Spanish speaker from Argentina. I've worked as a teacher for 12 years and in 2018, I decided to quit my job to travel around the world. I have lived in Italy, Switzerland, Andorra and Portugal where I've had seasonal jobs which I enjoyed very much!
Currently, I am in Portugal.
A little bit more about myself: I am an enthusiastic person, eager to learn more but also to share what I know with others and to meet people from around the world.
Teaching has always been one of my passions together with travelling & cooking!

Me as a Teacher
I prioritise communication above grammar or structures, which are important but by themselves they do not guarantee you fluent communication in the target language! That is why I like to use authentic material: movies, series, songs, pieces of news from the media, even a cooking class (making of empanadas, for instance!).
Above all, I want to help you gain confidence to speak in public and everyday situations!
You will not regret having a lesson with me!
Yemina
My lessons & teaching style
✔️I place the focus on a communicative approach.
✔️I want to help you extend your vocabulary on topics of your interest so that you can have more interesting and fluid conversations in the target language.
✔️Eventhough English can be used as the backup language, Spanish is spoken at all times! Yes, you can do it!
✔️Error correction upon request: Let me know which is the way you feel more comfortable with when it comes to error correction.
✔️I like to assign some homework so that the learner can drill at home. However, this can be adjusted according to your time constraints.

I always enjoy my lessons with Yemina. She is knowledgeable, interesting, patient and kind. She plans engaging and useful activities for the lessons, yet is flexible if I want to cover a different topic. She has given me the confidence to initiate conversations in Spanish with people at work, in stores and in restaurants.

Yemina, is my personal instructor going forward. She listened to me and instead of following her agenda she adjusted to my knowledge. I told her that I had an extensive vocabulary but lacked conversational practice. We did an exercise where she tested my knowledge and she was impressed. We already have our agenda set for the next two sessions. Thank you so much Yemina for actually listening and adjusting to me and what I wanted to get out of the session. Muchismas Gracias!!!

¡Me encantó la clase con Yemina! Primero, hablamos de unas fotos y después, conversamos sobre varios temas. Fue una clase perfecta para mí! ¡Muchas gracias, Yemina, y nos vemos en la próxima clase!

I love my time with Yemina! She is kind, patient, and encouraging. We have many things in common so we never run out of things to talk about. I would highly recommend for anyone who wants to improve their Spanish!

She is very good at explaining grammar. I really appreciate it. Also, she is very good at helping me with my pronunciation which I have a problem with, especially when it comes to longer words. She gives me the time to practice them. Also, I appreciate that she knows English, too, or I might be lost since I am not fluent in Spanish. Gracias. :)

Very helpful in learning grammar which I usually have a problem with remembering. Sometimes, she will explain it to me in English because they may seem so hard to understand in Spanish. Also, she gives me the time to pronounce words that I may have difficult in saying. But, the best thing is that she writes down what I said or what we learned, so I can use it for future use.
