My teaching methods are based on dynamic conversations that includes pictures, for new vocabulary, I like my students to get their grammar in an indirect way (deducing by using) is how I call it! And I make sure we cover all the skills (listening, speaking, reading and writing) throught a dynamic way. I want the student to have fun while learning.
I am an English and Spanish teacher. I graduated from my university in 2008 back in Colombia. I started teaching since I was in my second year, tuttoring some kids in english. I decided to expand my teaching skills and Spanish became my passion. I got a Diploma in ELE (Español como Lengua Extranjera) and I also got certified as a DELE examiner. I have had the opportunity to teach abroad in a beutiful country called Suriname, where I taught spanish to memebers of the different ministries of this country.
