¡Hola a todos!

My name is Patricia. I'm a certified native Spanish teacher. I've been teaching Spanish and English as foreign languages since 2004, and I've fallen in love with my job a little more every year :)

I studied Spanish Philology and Literature and learned how to become a teacher at Universidad Nacional de Salta, Argentina. I've also completed a specific ELE training certification from Universidad Europea Madrid, and I'm certified as DELE examiner by Instituto Cervantes.

I'm a committed, responsible, and professional individual who is always eager to learn new things and is continually engaged in ongoing training. My patience knows no limits, and I can find a thousand ways to explain something if necessary.

I can make a course specifically tailored for you, according to your knowledge, needs, interests, and requests. In more than 20 years of teaching, I've never given the same course twice. I can compile and produce custom-made study material for you. Since I'm passionate about Spanish, I've studied its different varieties around the world, so I can guarantee that with my classes, you'll be able to have a proper conversation in any Spanish-speaking country.

Over the years, I've worked with a wide variety of students, from young adults to adults, from complete beginners to proficient people who just wanted to practice speaking. I also help students prepare for the DELE exams, I've done so in the past with excellent results.

I'm in love with languages and communication, and teaching is my calling and my passion. With me, grammar will never be an issue; furthermore, I can promise you that you'll enjoy it and have fun! :-D

I'd be more than happy to discuss with you the best way for you to learn from scratch or improve your Spanish in no time.

Don't hesitate to send me a message :)

¡Hasta pronto!

I am a ELE Spanish teacher, from Spain.
I have worked for EF Education First in Costa Rica, this has made me learn a lot about the Latin American culture, and its derivation of Spanish, this makes me have more knowledge about Spanish and how to teach it.

Spanish is a beautiful language and is currently one of the most widely spoken languages in the world.
In my classes you will learn about everything that this language encompasses, from grammar, lexicon, communication, history, literature. Basically what the student demands.

I like to give dynamic classes, in which I focus on the student's progress, and I make sure that the student can see by himself his progress with a series of samples from the first class.

I specialize in teaching Greek to beginners and intermediate students, providing them the foundation to master this difficult language. I cover topics such as word order, grammar, spoken vs. written Greek, conversational and every day Greek, as well as spelling, writing, and pronunciation. Each class can be tailored to the students individual needs. This class is for anybody who just wants to improve speaking/writing, as well as for those just starting out.
Lessons can be given online, or in person.
Greek is a language that is increasingly spoken, and is useful in many aspects of life, including but not limited to: biology, geometry, medical terminology, etc. With Greece's economy growing, it is an ideal destination to move either as an expat, digital nomad, or as a startup company.

This is an 8-session program aimed at the school ‘transition’ years of ages 12-19. The group sessions are facilitated following a broader Personal, Health, Social, and Economic Education (PSHE) curriculum focusing on gathering teens' needs, making them objects of reflection while leveraging neuroscience information and a playful approach. The program can also well serve as a taster for teachers/parents in separate sessions or workshops.

In particular, Teen's Time explores issues around:
- Working with concentration and focus; exploring how we can work with a wandering mind.
- Identifying emotions, how they work, and interact with thoughts and body sensations.
- Why humans worry, and how to support ourselves when we do so.
- Sleep: why it is important and what to do if we struggle to sleep well.
- Being with others: the opportunities and challenges of working skillfully with friendships and other relationships,

Each session includes:
- Learning about key areas of the brain and how they support us in our everyday activities
- Some introductory breathing practices
- Reflections
- Animations, short video
- Discussions
- Role play's and enactment's
- Exercises they can try in their own time

Teen's Time is inspired and informed by the several children-oriented programs of the Mindfulness in School Program (MisP) organization.

The feedback from children who have previously taken part in these programs is very positive. They report enjoying the group sessions and especially sharing their emotions with the other participants. They find learning and neuroscience helping them in a broad range of situations from being able to concentrate and focus more easily in school to helping them feel calmer in exams and competitions. Many have described sharing the learning with other family members and finding it helps them with their relationships with family and
friends.

Teen's Time
Starts: on Monday, February 28 - Introductory session -
Time: from 16:00 to 17:00 hr

I tailor my tutoring and classes to the needs of each student. As a Native French speaker and student in Linguistics I use different approaches and methods to make learning French enjoyable and efficient. In each class, we will focus on a specific aspect of the French language, whether it is pronouncing a certain sound or understanding a certain grammatical phenomenon, in a way that builds on the strengths and is challenging to the student.

Scarcely had I started teaching when I was bewitched by it. With an MA in Film Directing and Screenwriting at the London College of Communication I am currently pursuing a second degree in English Literary Studies at the Utrecht University. I will be teaching with a British accent and prosody and my chief interest lies in academic and formal english. Nevertheless, i keep myself up to date with colloquial language as I travel now and then to London and New York for photography work. It will be a great pleasure to be your tutor and embark on a bipartisan learning journey. I find it just to model the teaching on the student's peculiar needs which means we will be discussing together the right path to follow. I usually proceed along the learning with the aid of Cambridge books, needless to say, according to your level. I am based in Utrecht and i do privilege on-line classes. If you please, we can set-up a first call whereby you can decide if you like me to be your teacher or else if to search further.

best,

M.D.C

Hello! I am from Madrid but I am living in Utrecht. I am a "cat", this means that I, my parents and my grandparents were born in Madrid. I love languages. I have studied English for many years, so I know what it feels like to learn and I have discovered the best tricks for both learning and teaching a language! I want to make you speak like a native! :)

Two years of experience and I love it! Before I studied funny things like theater and acting and then I worked as a web developer, so our topics of conversation can be very varied!

General English: I design the English course based on your personal needs, interests, and motivations. Based on your profile and existing level of English, the course would focus on a specific combination of grammar, vocabulary, listening, reading, writing, and speaking.

English for academic purposes: This course would cover the key aspects of English needed in higher education and academic contexts. In addition to grammar and vocabulary, the course trains the key receptive and productive skills needed in higher education. Receptive skills involve reading and listening to academic texts. Productive skills involve writing and speaking for academic purposes (e.g., research papers, research proposals, essays, presentations, and others).
