I am a part time researcher, professor, journalist and Spanish teacher. Teaching Spanish has emerged as a new passion for me, a role that blossomed during the pandemic, and I'm enjoying it. Initially, I sought to ease the pace of the precarious and demanding work in the academia, and foster more fair and caring labor relationships. My educational background includes a first degree in Forest Engineering, a master's in Organic Agriculture and a PhD in Agroecology. I've honed my communication skills through editing books, publishing scientific papers, writing essays for newspapers, and creating content for radio shows. Although I hail from Madrid, I currently reside in Athens, Greece.
Me as a Teacher
I have a Master in Pedagogy and I follow, among others, the pedagogical methods of Paulo Freire or Francisco Ferrer i Guardia. As these pedagogues, I believe that the educational process must be a process of mutual relationship. Teachers are only facilitators and knowledge is produced jointly between teachers and students. I dream that we can build our utopian worlds through dialogue and direct action.
My lessons & teaching style
You’ll learn Spanish through inclusive language, enabling us to produce our realities and subjectivities with freedom. We’ll approach together the logic of the Spanish language, through its historical influences, structures and phonetics. We’ll cover Spanish vocabulary and grammar while exploring our shared interests. We’ll prepare every lesson in advance. Generally, I will suggest a research topic, or to read an article, watch a documentary or listen to a podcast. During our lessons I will partially transcribe our conversation, highlighting those elements that we need to discuss together. The idea is to create a real bond between the student and the tutor, and in so doing build a safe space

I love my lessons with Ines. She is so patient and easy-going, and the content is really based on what I'd like to do. She keeps notes in a pad and I make sure to go back and review my mistakes there. Cannot recommend her highly enough!
J'adore mes leçons avec Ines! Elle est tellement patiente... je la recommande vivement!

This was a great first lesson with Ines. I had been learning some Spanish on my own before and wanted to focus on oral and written communication in particular. Ines had a very patient and encouraging approach, and I was able to express myself well, with plenty of help provided for filling gaps or explaining words/structures I could not remember in Spanish. We also discussed next steps and approaches to future lessons, to which I am very much looking forward to! Highly recommended, also for beginners like myself.
