Joaquín

Hello, my name is Joaquín and I am from Galicia, Spain. My native languages are Spanish and Galician. I have a History Degree from the University of Santiago de Compostela where I also received a Masters in teaching. After those studies in Santiago, I obtained a Masters in History from the University of Minho, in Braga, northern Portugal. Whilst studying there, I learnt the Portuguese language gaining a C2 level certificate from the Instituto Camões. I also completed a specialized course in Teaching Portuguese as a Foreign Language in the University of Coimbra. I also did a course to teach Spanish to foreigners in the Instituto Cervantes, which allows me to officially teach Spanish to foreigners. I have a vast experience teaching languages as I have taught Portuguese and Spanish in private lessons and for companies. In the case of private lessons, I prepare the official exams of Portuguese (Instituto Camões, CELPE-BRAS and EOI) and Spanish (Instituto Cervantes and EOI). In addition to this, I have worked as a Portuguese teacher in various companies like General Óptica, Acciona, LaCaixa Bank, Santander, etc., and as a Spanish teacher from Mercadona. My methodology is based upon improving the four main communicative skills: writing, reading, listening and speaking. I am flexible teacher and I adapt my schedule and my method for the specific needs for each individual student.
