✅ Native Spanish & Catalan Speaker
✅ Can explain in English
✅ 日本語OKですよ!
¡Hola! ¿Qué tal? I'm from Barcelona, Spain. I was living in Japan for more than 2 years to study Japanese and learn more about the culture. Since 2022 I have been living as a nomad and pet/house-sitting around the world. I also work as a tour guide in Japan a few times a year.
I speak Spanish and Catalan as my native languages. I also speak Japanese, English and some Portuguese.
I love nature, animals and travelling. I also enjoy football, board and video games and watching Netflix :)
IMPORTANT:
Due to my other job, my schedule can be quite irregular. I can be absent from Italki from 2 weeks to 1 month.
Me as a Teacher
I consider myself a flexible, organized, hard-working and fun teacher.
I have more than 3 years of experience as an online teacher, teaching both children and adults. Beginners and Intermediate students are welcome! For advance students, I can offer conversation practice lessons.
My lessons & teaching style
Spanish: I teach through a textbook called 'Aula Internacional Plus'. It is a book with many dynamic exercises to practice speaking and listening skills. It also has exercises to practice the grammar and vocabulary learned in each lesson.
For children/teenagers I have 'Lola y Leo' and 'Gente joven' books, with a lot of interactive exercises in order to do the lesson funny and interesting for them. Also I have my own PPT's to support the textbooks with some funny games/activities.
Catalan: I use the textbook called 'A Punt' for those who wants to learn from the scratch. (A1-A2)
IMPORTANT:
If you are 15 minutes late and don't contact me, I will end the lesson and consider it as complete.

Zaida is an absolutely amazing teacher! She is patient, funny, and very helpful! She is helping me build my Spanish all around from grammar and vocab to pronunciation! I will continue learning from her as it is helping my Spanish progress at an exponential rate! Gracias Zaida!!!
Zaida lessons are always interesting and well-paced. I know there are several words I mispronounce or expressions that I used incorrectly. She explains calmly and slowly what is wrong and why, giving examples and patiently answering any questions I have.
She also speaks multiple languages which helps a lot when explaining things. We used her teaching materials which are simple text with notes about vocabulary and grammar, and also other material I suggested. I recommend her to anyone struggling with pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary.

Zaida is a good teacher. She adapts to my pace, is very patient, and explains everything in a way that I understand without translating into English.

As usual we had a great conversation, this time about my upcoming visit to the city of Valencia for my first trip to Spain. Zaida happened to stay in Valencia for several weeks so she helped me with a lot of tips and advice before I go.
