As a graduate of a high school where all subjects were taught in Spanish and currently studying at KU Leuven in English, I am proficient in all the listed languages (originally from Bulgaria).

I believe that learning should be a pleasant and enjoyable experience which serves to open the individual's mind to a whole world of possibilities, especially true for languages, i.e. doing my job and having fun along the way are equally important for me!

Currently based in Leuven.

About Me
I believe learning should be fun and should to inspire the student to want to learn more and more about the subject, rather than discourage him with presenting the information in a dry an uninteresting way. As a law student I have had abundant first hand experience of this and know what to avoid, when to ask for more and when to stop. Despite being an easy-going and flexible person, I am aware that discipline and consistency are key to any achievement and like to work with people who share this understanding.
Education
1) Master's degree in Law;
2) Currently a student at KU Leuven's Advanced Master's Program in Intellectual Property & ICT Law;
3) Studied in a high school where subjects were exclusively taught in Spanish for 5 years;
4) Native Bulgarian speaker.
Experience / Qualifications
- My previous experience is various law firms has exposed me to all sorts of people of varying backgrounds and walks of life;

My experience and skills are mainly focused on improving conversation, however we can see in detail the grammar if you are also interested in this aspect. What I propose is a set of exercises to practice your oral expression:

-Free subjects or subjects of general interest: travel, leisure... or even more specialized themes such as politics, culture...
-Vocabulary games: riddles, descriptions, construction of sentences, short stories ... whose words will serve as a basis for other exercises in future sessions to consolidate what has been seen and to measure your progress
-Sketches: dramatizations of everyday situations or situations that make you or could make you uncomfortable in a foreign language (work interviews, shopping, making an appointment, procedures at the municipality, etc.) ). Here you will have the advantage of preparing yourself and having the situation under control with the support of the teacher.
-Songs: we will go through vocabulary, grammar, accents, expressions, cultural aspects and anecdotes using songs that are part of Spanish-speaking musical culture (Latin America and Spain)
Have you ever wanted to know what are the lyrics of a song in Spanish? This is your opportunity!
-I also use the following games during lessons, but you can suggest others:
tabú en español (taboo), story cubes, and other specific games for learning Spanish (board games for example)


I can also help you develop a more formal vocabulary (argumentation, presentation...). You can obviously choose the subject but if you lack an idea I can always suggest one and from there work on vocabulary and pronunciation, which will be reviewed each week in order to consolidate your knowledge and measure your progress. At the end of each session you will receive feedback on the exercises and a few days later you will also receive corrections and notes.

Do not hesitate to send me a message to find out more about my availability, choose an exercise or suggest one and any questions you may have.

I am ready to move outside Brussels (Wallonia and Flanders); or in this case contact me for a suitable price, including transport costs.

If it can make your life easier I speak fluent English (B2) and French (C1), but also Italian (B1) and Dutch (B1)

Hello everyone!
My name is Maria, a Venezuelan musician residing in Belgium. In the world of art, languages and cultures are a fundamental part of being able to understand each other and connect with each other in order to create something beautiful together, in my case music. Apart from being an artist, I like languages and learning them has become a passion for me, which is why I decided to take this passion to another level.

During my classes I want to help you learn my native language, which is Latin American Spanish, in a personalized and dynamic way.
The classes are separated by levels (A0-B2), where you will learn the grammar of the language but also vocabulary and expressions to use on a daily basis with other speakers of the language.
My idea is that each student learns the language at their own pace but understanding and daring to speak it from the first day. Support material (book, exercises, audios, etc) is always included.

Classes can be individual or in groups, both online and in person (Brussels, Belgium).
Classes will be given in English and Spanish.

Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
I hope to see you soon and start discovering and learning this beautiful language!

Greetings,
Maria.

¡Hola a todos!
Mi nombre es Maria, musico Venezolana residiendo en Bélgica. En el mundo del arte, los idiomas y las culturas son parte fundamental para poder entendernos entre cada artista y conectar para poder crear algo hermoso juntos, en mi caso la música. Aparte de ser artista me gusta los idiomas y aprenderlos se ha convertido en una pasión para mi, por eso he decidió llevar esta pasión a otro nivel.

Durante mis clases quiero ayudarte a aprender de una forma personalizada y dinámica mi lengua natal, que es el español latinoamericano.
Las clases están separadas por niveles (A0-B2), en donde aprenderás la gramática de la lengua pero también vocabulario y expresiones para usar en el día a día con otros hablantes de la lengua.
Mi idea es que cada alumno aprenda el idioma a su ritmo pero entendiendo y atreviéndose a hablarlo desde el primer día. Material de apoyo (libro, ejercicios, audios, etc) está incluido siempre.

Las clases pueden ser individuales o en grupos, tanto online como en persona (Bruselas, Bélgica).
Clases se darán en Ingles y español.

No dudes en contactarme si tienes alguna pregunta.
¡Espero verte pronto y comenzar a descubrir y aprender este hermoso idioma!

Saludos,
Maria.
