Online English and Spanish Classes with a Native Speaker!

Hello!
Everyone would describe me as an enthusiastic person, and I do have a very cheerful personality, and I’ll reflect this in my classes as a way to encourage you to express yourself in any of these languages and lose your fears. I love teaching my students and exposing them to diverse cultural aspects and also learning about other places with them.
I like to teach my students some standard English or Spanish content through writing and reading activities, but my favorite part is giving you access to conversational everyday language, so your vocabulary and other competencies can expand and you can become a fluent and confident speaker. I am here to personalize my teaching methods according to your learning style, expectations and goals. Whether it is Conversational, professional English, or if you want to improve your grammar and reading skills. I cannot wait to see you in class soon.

English Language - Writing, Speaking, Listening Comprehension
Can learning English be fun, insightful, productive and affordable at the same time? I believe so! Whatever your background or profession, deciding to learn a foreign language is a great way to add another dimension to your life and make your mind work in a new way. You become a (slightly) different person, since along with a new language, one learns to look at the world in a slightly different way. This is why my approach to teaching English is not only aimed at laying or strengthening the foundational knowledge - grammar, speaking, writing and listening skills, but also at introducing students to the culture of the English-speaking population. We will find out what English speakers find funny, what drives them to tears, what makes them feel proud and what they get embarrassed about. Open to students of all levels, my course usually is taught online, using a variety of visual aids and a wide range of material, from textbooks to YouTube videos. In teaching advanced learners, I often refer to pieces of literature such as novels and poems, since they easily spark discussions, which in turn improves the students' grasp and feel of the language. In doing so, I take students beyond ordinary textbooks and grammar books, since they are no more than guides to learning, not absolute authorities, and because to me language is a living, constantly evolving matter, which you must submerge yourself into in order to understand. In addition to my unorthodox approach, what sets me apart is a collection of unique, language-related experiences, which translate into a good ability to understand nuances of the English language. A native Russian speaker, I have lived in the UK for over 5 years, went to a Scottish boarding school and have even completed a university degree in English. Thanks to my linguistic and cultural competency, I will make sure that you are never lost in translation! Are you interested? Then contact me today!

Marcelo
One-to-One Spanish lessons with certified tutor and native speaker - Spanischunterricht - Präsenz und Online
¡Hola! ich heiße Marcelo und ich bin ein vom Cervantes Institut zertifizierter Spanischlehrer. Ich wohne in Berlin und arbeite für Sprachschulen und auch mit Privatstudierende. Ich bin in Argentinien geboren und aufgrund meines familiären Hintergrunds bin ich von klein auf mit beiden Arten des Spanischen, dem lateinamerikanischen und dem europäischen, in Kontakt gekommen. Sprachen, Kunst, Geschichte, Literatur und das Kennenlernen verschiedener Kulturen gehören zu meinen Interessen und meinem Alltag. Ich lerne Deutsch und verfüge über sehr gute Englischkenntnisse und Grammatikkenntnisse. Außerdem spreche ich etwas Italienisch und Katalanisch. Ich werde einen Unterrichtsplan entwickeln, der Ihren Bedürfnissen entspricht und an Ihre Ziele angepasst ist. Normalerweise werden wir uns auf die Interaktion konzentrieren und die Grammatik in eine kommunikative Funktion einbauen. Pragmatik, Wortschatz, Kultur, Konversation, Lernstrategien und die verschiedenen Varietäten und Akzente sind die Grundlage für einen umfassenden und gedeihlichen Spracherwerb. Ich bin auch in der Lage, Sie bei der Vorbereitung auf alle Spanischprüfungen zu unterstützen und Ihnen bei allen sozialwissenschaftlichen, literarischen oder philosophischen Arbeiten zu helfen, die Sie für die Universität auf Spanisch anfertigen müssen. ¡Hasta pronto! "¡Hola! Learn Spanish with a certified, native-speaking tutor and immerse yourself in the richness of the Hispanic language and culture. My name is Marcelo, and I am a certified Spanish teacher from the Cervantes Institute. Currently based in Berlin, I have experience teaching at language schools as well as with private students. Being born in Argentina and having a diverse family background, I have been exposed to both Latin American and European variations of the Spanish language from a young age. Languages, art, history, literature, and exploring different cultures are all integral parts of my interests and daily life. I am currently learning German and possess excellent command and grammatical knowledge of English. Additionally, I am conversational in Italian and Catalan. I will create a personalized lesson plan tailored to your specific needs and goals. Our focus will be on interactive learning, integrating grammar within a communicative context. Pragmatics, vocabulary, culture, conversation, learning strategies, and exposure to different Spanish varieties and accents form the foundation for comprehensive and successful language acquisition. I can also assist you in preparing for any Spanish language exams and provide support for your university assignments in social sciences, literature, or philosophy that require Spanish proficiency. ¡Hasta pronto!

I will work together with the student on concepts that they find difficult and any other conceptual issues they may encounter.

Santiago
Clases virtuales conversacionales en inglés para jóvenes y adultos
Hola, Mi nombre es Santiago y estoy ofreciendo clases virtuales de inglés individuales y personalizadas para mejorar tanto su comunicación oral como escrita. El enfoque principal de mis clases se centra en desarrollar una comunicación del idioma inglés de manera fluida y estructurada ya sea para preparar exámenes internacionales, incluyendo el TOEFL y el FCE, o como para poder comunicarse adecuadamente en el ámbito profesional, o para reforzar y mantener el conocimiento previo de este idioma. Soy Licenciado, graduado en Florida Gulf Coast University en los E.E. U.U. Habiendo aprendido inglés desde chico en el Ivy Thomas Memorial School y vivido año y medio en Tailandia, seguido de 4 años en E.E. U.U. adquirí gran conocimiento y fluidez del idioma inglés. En Tailandia estuve año y medio estudiando arte en la comunicación y esto me ayudó a prepararme para mis estudios en E.E. U.U. Tuve varias clases de comunicación, aprendiendo técnicas de cómo hablar mejor usando no solo nuestras palabras, sino también nuestro cuerpo para ayudarnos a hablar de manera más natural, tranquila y sin ponernos nerviosos si nos trabamos o nos olvidamos de lo que queríamos decir. Durante mi carrera en los E.E. U.U. estuve constantemente escribiendo ensayos para mis clases, además de tener que exponer proyectos delante de mis profesores y compañeros de clase. Al mismo tiempo, estuve trabajando en la universidad y luego de graduado trabajé durante un año, principalmente teniendo largas conversaciones por teléfono con personas de todo el país. Hoy en día la habilidad para comunicarse en inglés es imprescindible y los voy a preparar para que puedan cumplir sus objetivos. Podrá ser, el de estudiar en el extranjero, irse a vivir a un país de habla inglesa, mejorar la comunicación en el ámbito profesional o practicar para no perder el nivel previamente adquirido. Si lo que estás buscando es mejorar tus conocimientos del idioma inglés, yo te voy a ayudar. Mi metodología es simple. Cada persona es diferente y adapto el contenido de mis clases a las necesidades e intereses de mis alumnos. Todos aprendemos de distintas maneras y en tiempos distintos, por eso es que diseño mis clases de manera individual.
