Hey, let's plan your learning process together. Let's talk about your goals and how would you like to learn. I'm ready to work with you.

This course does not follow your classic learn and repeat, text book approach. Instead, the course will engage you in what you are looking to learn and how you learn best. My role is to guide and nurture you through your studies... Not to dictate to you how and what I think you should learn. For example, if you are a visual learner, we will use videos and draw out concepts. If you are learning because you need it for your business, we will adjust to ensure you are on the fast track.

Our first lesson assesses exactly what program we will work on together. 'Where' your language learning is now. We will do this by having a very honest assessment of your current abilities. Followed by a discussion as to 'why' you wish to learn and 'what' contexts you will be using the language. Finally we will assess 'how' you want to proceed and learn.

After this, we will set out a plan for the following 3 lessons. Whereupon we will re-assess. Constantly adapting to suit your progress and what we learn about each other.

Learning from the basics - Finding your learning style

You will be on a path of self-exploration wherein you will learn Spanish that is relevant to your interests and live. Engaging in interactive task-design and task-solving activities while in the class. Exercises will be be constantly new and different, we won't let the lessons get repetitive or boring, which will keep your interest throughout the course of the lesson. This will allow you to study different things all the time, as I provide the framework for activities, and you fill in the details. Learning a language is a long journey, so we will always look to adapt and throw curveball to remain engaged and processing

Intermediate learners - Keeping motivation high

We can solve your doubts regarding specific grammar issues, with examples and activities that will help you differentiate and understand them. Also, we can work together on mistakes while speaking, reading and writing.

Grammar Focus - Understanding the language

Entender artículos de opinión, textos científicos o académicos en una segunda lengua o incluso en tu idioma nativo puede llegar a ser confuso. Aquí encontrarás pautas de comprensión de lectura y con la práctica cada vez ganarás más confianza en tu interpretación y entendimiento. A medida que lees o escuchas en busca de información más precisa y menos contextual puedes encontrar nuevas formas de expresión que con mucho gusto podré explicarte para que las uses también.

Nivel avanzado - Comprensión de lectura, opinión, expresiones y modismos

Working with kids is different, we will establish routines … so the child knows what to expect and begins to understand that repetition is the mother of skill. This routine means we will start and finish each lesson with a repeating structure. Starting with simple questions to remind them of our previous lessons, building on that by having  fun, playing and learning - always moving on to a new intrigue the moment the childs’ attention begins to wain. Then,  as we close the lesson - we will bring it back to our questions to harness the learning so far. 

So i start with a routine, finish with a routine but, in between, I allow flexibility to adapt to the child’s learning style and individual attention span.

Kids - Getting to know each other

Durante los últimos 24 meses, he estado enseñando español a estudiantes individualmente mientras realizo traducciones para varias empresas en todo el mundo. Así que entiendo perfectamente cómo utilizamos los idiomas contextualmente y cómo asegurar que aprendas basándonos en cómo vas a usar el idioma
