About Me

My name is Patricia and I come from a small town in La Rioja, northern Spain.

I am passionate about various things, like sports, water and stories. My ideal day would be one that includes a slow but yummy breakfast with a bit of sunlight, some outdoor sport like swiming, hiking or climbing and a cultural activity in good company, for example a reading club meeting or a cinema date. :)

Currently I live in Berlín, where I can try to fit my days into that ideal quite often. The only thing that, sometimes, gets difficult is the sun part. That's why I try to travel back home from time to time. As well as to visit family and friends.

What I love the most about my work as a teacher is the space we create where we focus on the tools we have and the ones we need in order to understand and comunicate with each other, to tell our stories and build our opinions.
As I see it, it is not just about learning "words" and "grammar rules", it's about communicating, learning and building ideas. I also love seeing the developement in the learning process of my students.

Education

Bachelor in Philosophy
Masters Degree in Didactics of Spanish as a Foreing Language
DELE Examiner
Non-formal Educator
Teacher at Instituto Cervantes Berlín

Experience / Qualifications

My experience studying Philosophy and 10 years working as a non formal educator have allowed me to create a hybrid style in teaching where learning critically about the world (languages, geography, social movements, literature, art, etc.) is the bases, but doing it in a way that is fun, interactive and creative is what keeps the wheel going.
I also studied a Master's degree in Language didactics, which has helped me go deeper in the interest of sharing culture. My lessons are always oriented to develope communication skills, no matter if it is a grammar class or a reading club.

I'm a Spanish teacher with over 20 years of experience in education, and my goal has always been clear: to help students learn the language in a practical, natural, and meaningful way.

My teaching approach is centered around real-life situations, with a strong focus on speaking and oral expression. I use a modern, engaging, and student-friendly method that encourages communication from day one.

I truly believe that learning a language is not just about memorizing rules—it's about living it, using it, and enjoying the journey.
