I am a QUALIFIED Spanish<>English Translator and I have more than 7 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE teaching English as a second language and Spanish as a second language in all kinds of settings: language schools, 1-on-1 private tuition, large and small groups, in person and Skype lessons. Students from all over the world (United States, Canada, France, Morocco, England, Japan, Australia, Argentina, Colombia, Chile, among others) have relied on my services and have been successful in reaching their goals: becoming fluent students, reaching a proficient level, learning just the basics for travelling, studying verb tenses deeply, keeping their advanced level skills, etc. I have taught English and Spanish from “hola/hello” all the way down to the most advanced grammar topics: - At the beginner, intermediate and advanced levels - Group classes and one-on-one instruction - Immersion courses, summer courses, Spanish and English for travel and business - Comprehensive courses and specific skills courses (such as, conversation courses, writing workshops, listening practice, etc.).

The lessons are designed according to the student’s goals and interests. For that reason, on our first session the student will specify their goals and priority areas. That will determine de format and content of our classes. My classes are fun and relaxed, though very intense. Grammar, vocabulary, and listening-comprehension skills will be mainly learnt through conversation. We will only take around 10 minutes of our lesson to explain the grammar topic and we will devote the rest of the class to communication and conversation activities on the lesson topic. The student will constantly practice and improve their grammar, pronunication, speaking, and listening skills. Regarding the class material, the student will get the class book on pdf format and we will also use other web resources. Do I assign homework? I generally do, as long as you have the time to do it.
