My lessons & teaching style
Las clases estructuradas con gramática, escritura/lectura y vocabulario nuevo aplicado a la conversación del día a día, considero que todas las áreas del lenguaje son importantes para hablar un segundo idioma de forma satisfactoria. Me preocupo por entender las necesidades y forma de aprender del estudiante, para hacer las clases más eficientes y el aprendizaje más ameno. Es importante mantener un ambiente divertido y libre de estrés en la clase.
Structured lessons with grammar, writing/reading and new vocabulary applied to day-to-day conversation. I care about understanding the needs and way of learning of the student, to make lessons more efficient and the learning process more enjoyable.

There was a look at what I know, and where I can go from there. A good process. The class helped me to think in the process of putting a sentence together.

She could see when I was trying to push beyond my level, and this was helpful. --- Very flexible tutor. I realised my approach lately has not been focused, and that became very clear in the class. The class was full of realisations that I needed to have to move forwards, both in terms of Spanish, but outside of this also. --- Fernanda was supportive and understanding, despite my brain not working today. Today ended up being more a review of what I need in life right now, but that was very helpful. She was more helpful than maybe she thinks she was.

Fernanda created a structured program for me to learn how to correct the language concepts that I wasn’t understanding. She is always patient when my WiFi is having problems. Fernanda is also flexible - we spent some time translating a song. She is also good at correcting errors in my pronunciation. Fernanda makes it fun and engaging. Also, she has cats and dogs.
