About Me
italki teacher since Jun 15, 2021
Interest topicReadingWritingArt
I'm a friendly, curious person. I'm interested in art, languages, literature and I love travelling and learning from other cultures. I'm also an expert in second language teaching, so I merge both qualities to make the most of my lessons, which are dynamic and interesting.
Me as a Teacher
I adore teaching Spanish as a foreign language, as well as learning from my student's different cultures and countries of origin. I've lived in two different countries (UK and Italy) so I know what it means to learn a new language and therefore I'm able to connect to mi student's difficulties and needs on this respect.
My lessons & teaching style
I follow a communicative, student-centered approach, with focus on speaking and listening skills. Reading and grammar based exercises are to be done at home, to make the most of the lesson scheduled time, unless the student prefers otherwise.

Carmen is simply fantastic. I am so happy to have found her on this platform. She is patient, extremely prepared and organized, and just generally a pleasure to spend an hour with. I am entering my third year studying Spanish with her, and cannot recommend her highly enough. Don't hesitate to book a class with Carmen!

I've been taking DELE preparation classes with Carmen for a couple of months now. She is always on time, respectful, funny and atentive during the class. Furthermore, the excercises that she gives, and grades, between classes are always helpful in understanding new concepts. She also have an unique way of correcting all of my mistakes, without me feeling like an idiot and making me learn from my mistakes.
To summarise in a sentence. If you want to learn the ins and outs of the Spanish language, you should take classes with Carmen.
