Hispanic and Latin American literature - Learn to read in Spanish

From 24 € /h

To read is to think. When you learn how to read in a foreign language, you are also learning how to think in a said language without the need to translate every word. This means that reading helps you become more fluent and less literal. Besides that, there is so much literature to be found in the Spanish language! there are 21 countries full of diversity, culture, and tradition. There is a lot to find, learn and enjoy in Hispanic and Latin American literature.
I graduated from Letters -or Literature- in the Universidad Central de Venezuela, so this is my specialty, and I have so many beautiful and fun books to share with you!
This class works as some sort of reading and conversational club:
-I will send you a variety of books -that suit your taste- for you to read at home, then I will guide you through the reading I made as a native speaker and an avid reader.
-We will share points of view, practicing oral Spanish as well.
-I will help you improve your vocabulary by focusing on the words we read.
-You will learn new idioms and expressions, as well as dialectal and social differences between our people.
-You get to solve any of the doubts you've had while reading in Spanish.
-We will have a lot of fun with many amazing authors that are very important to our culture.

About Me

A true class should leave you with a new experience you couldn't find anywhere else.

Words carry us, our culture and tradition, through language. They can be tasteless or tasteful, sound like poetry or a wrecked car, make us feel in Heaven or Hell. This is why we should always learn languages hand in hand with its peoples' history. This is what I care about, I want to teach Spanish in a way people can find its beauty and enjoy its diversity.

Are you a visual learner? Logical learner? Any other type of learner? My classes suit your needs and your own process of learning. You can start by taking a class, where we can figure out the course that will work better for you. Maybe you want to take the fun path, or maybe you want the methodical path that will get you through a DELE test. It is all acceptable.

I do not think everyone needs grammar to speak a new language, but I also believe one should not look at grammar with an ill heart. It should not be something to learn as hard inflexible rules, for it actually is what explains the mystery of how a language came to life and keeps breathing.

Through my Spanish classes, I want to give something that people won't forget and that it's about life itself rather than just empty information. I can talk endlessly about literature, art, films, words, etc. And it's always ok to not say things correctly, I understand we are all always learning and will never judge, only teach how to say it better.

My hourly rate reflects my professional skill set, formal credentials, extensive experience, and my status as a qualified educator, as well as the cost of living in Switzerland. That said, what matters most to me is ensuring that each student receives the support they need. I am open to discussing and adjusting my rates based on fair reasoning to make this possible.

I have been a dedicated IB English Language & Literature educator since 2014, and my expertise extends to serving as an IB External Examiner for IB English A Literature since July 2016. As of May 2023, I have advanced to the role of Team Leader, or Senior Examiner, overseeing the external assessment of Language and Literature components and guiding a team of ten junior examiners.

My passion for Education and Literature has been the cornerstone of my career for nearly a decade. My professional journey spans a diverse range of educational settings, including public and international private schools, as well as independent language institutions.

In addition to my extensive teaching experience, I hold an IB Diploma, a BA in English and Education, an MA in Education, and a Swiss-verified teaching certificate. These credentials underscore my commitment to excellence in education and my deep engagement with the field of literature.

I'm a Spanish teacher with over 20 years of experience in education, and my goal has always been clear: to help students learn the language in a practical, natural, and meaningful way.

My teaching approach is centered around real-life situations, with a strong focus on speaking and oral expression. I use a modern, engaging, and student-friendly method that encourages communication from day one.

I truly believe that learning a language is not just about memorizing rules—it's about living it, using it, and enjoying the journey.
