Spanish tutor in London - Communications expert and Book worm. Words lover.

Methodology

- Having studied English, Italian and German myself, I have been on the student’s shoes and know how it feels to be learning a new language, with the thrills and challenges it presents.

- I teach school and university level, as well as holding conversation sessions for those who want to keep up their Spanish game and learn new vocabulary (I love a good chat and meeting new people).

- Depending on the students’ level, I usually start with a conversation in Spanish, without making too many corrections, as I believe it is very important for whoever is learning to be able to feel comfortable with the sounds and words they are learning so that they can own the language. Learning a language is a very personal experience for each one of us.

- I adapt to each student’s/ group’s needs and therefore conduct the lesson in Spanish/English as is needed. Though even at a minimum knowledge level I keep opening and closing sentences in Spanish, for the student to get used to it.

- We then start with the day’s topic (verbs, sentences, vocabulary) and work with fill in the blank’s exercises, reading comprehension, writing, listening comprehension. If there is a specific syllabus for exams/ homework, we work on it together.

- I like to explain the reason behind the word order, the verb declination and the different ways we call things in Spanish. Understanding the underlying rules in a language is the key to really learning it and being able to use it forever.

- I usually recommend movies, series, music, books and art exhibitions to my students, depending on their personal interests.

- I love sharing my native language (and teaching words across the whole Spanish spectrum, which work and friends from other Spanish-speaking countries have given me so that you learn as much vocabulary tools as possible).
- I have a degree in Media and Communications from Argentina's leading Communications University that I chose because I love writing, speaking, presenting and reading more than anything.
- IN 2017/2018 I studied a Masters in Social Policy and Development at the London School of Economics and now work part-time at the BBC.
