I enjoyed vey much this lesson with Maria. We practiced with different resources to talk about an experience in the past and Maria answered a few questions that I had regading past tense.

Today we focused on vocabulary related to jobs and we used some questions related to job interviews, which was a good way to talk about professional experience and use the past tenses!

We went through some familiar expressions in Spanish and we talked about some cultural difference between French and Spanish. A very interesting lesson!

Today we revise some grammar and vocabulary points and we did a revision task that helped me remember some contents from the last lessons. Also, we started learning the imperative form. It was hard, but with Maria's explanation, it was very clear.
I am an experienced and passionate teacher. Teaching and learning are two one of my passions. I have a website where I give useful tips for students. Check it out at marianogueira.net.

Qualifications & Experience
I have taught Spanish for 8 years, both as a freelancer and for different schools and institutions. I have a lot of experience in online teaching (via Skype and Google Hangout), which is actually my speciality.
I have a bachelor degree on Spanish Philology (that is Linguistics and Spanish and Latin American Literature), and two masters degrees on Education and on Spanish as a Second Language (ELE). I studied in Madrid, at the University Complutense and University Autónoma.
As part of my job, I also do proofreading write for several blogs and language magazines and publishers and sometimes I do proofreading in Spanish as well. I am very interested in e-learning and that is why I have learnt to use different tools both to manage my classes and to create my own teaching materials.
I SPEAK FLUENT ENGLISH, FRENCH AND PORTUGUESE
