From 42 € /h
Teacher of languages with students of different ages and levels in Canada, Spain, Panama and France, I organized and conducted language and culture classes, as well as oral and written communication workshops in Spanish and in English.
One of my main goals has always been to create an atmosphere of cultural immersion in my classes. Learning a language is for me a creative process of communication and cooperation that requires each student to play an active role in the simultaneous development of their production skills and oral and written comprehension.
My teaching method is based on the accomplishment of specific tasks using narration, active listening, critical reading and creative expression. I also promote activities that involve improvisation, production of audio-visual materials and different types of games to motivate students and encourage creativity and teamwork.
Each of my courses is organized around different notions (time, place, relationship, quantity, quality, etc.) and functions (questions, requests, offers, negotiations, etc.). The learning activities are thus centered on the obtaining linguistic and cultural skills, a pragmatic approach to language use and a set of original resources that can be modified or expanded as needed.
