Alba

Hello! My name is Alba. I have a Bachelor's degree in Translation & Interpreting, and I'm passionate about both languages and teaching. When I'm not immersed in my language obsession (currently, I'm learning Finnish!), you might find me hiking in the Pyrenees, watching old Eurovision shows, or writing letters to friends scattered across the globe. I started giving private lessons to earn some money while studying at university, and I soon realized that I was enjoying it much more than I had expected. Since then, I have taught English, Spanish, and computer skills to numerous students ranging from 10 to 50 years old, with whom I have formed really enriching relationships. My Bachelor's degree gives me a deep understanding of the syntax, word usage and nuances of the Spanish language, and I'm eager to share this knowledge with my students! I like having my students share their hobbies and preferences with me so that I can make my classes as engaging and personalized as possible. Most importantly, I like to emphasize something I wish I had heard more during my student days: there are no stupid questions! I believe that the foundation of a good relationship between a teacher and their student is built on complete trust, and that's what I strive to convey at all times. We can cover a wide range of skills: grammar, reading comprehension, writing, speaking, listening... whatever you want to improve! We'll use real-life content (articles, news, videos...) in order to learn not just words, but also fun idioms, slang, pronunciation variations, and much more!
