The current context requires us to have as little contact as possible... But the good news is that webcam lessons remain possible :)
I come from Costa Rica and have lived in Belgium with my family for 10 years. Spanish is my mother tongue.
I have a solid professional experience in the private, public and associative sector.
I juggle with different methodologies depending on the context of the course and especially the objectives to be achieved. I taught at the university, at Ifapme, in the associative sector (training and remediation), within companies as well as to individuals with very different objectives such as studies, a move to Spain, a travel to Latin America or simply learning a new language for fun or sharing and improving knowledge in the context of group conversation tables for example...
In any case, I manage to awaken the motivation and interest of my students thanks to a dynamic, creative and communicative approach.
I am available weekdays and weekends, daytime and evenings. I can give private lessons to primary and secondary school students, to high school and university students and to professionals, beginners to very advanced, intensively or not, privately or in groups.
I have a master's degree in economic and social planning with an emphasis on project management as well as a bachelor's degree in administration (National University of Costa Rica).
The transmission of knowledge has always been my passion. I had the opportunity to teach on several occasions throughout my career: in universities, in associations, within companies or even in private homes. And like everyone else, I had to adapt to the current situation... by giving online lessons!
