I had my second class with Stephanie and I like working with her: she's well structured, attentive, and patient. We have had a recap of the previous class in the beginning of the class and a regular "test" of what I have learned in the current class, which helps me to self assess my learnings.
Each class has a clear outcome. My goal is to become more confident in speaking Spanish and I have a good feeling that she will help me reach that goal.

Stephanie is a great teacher and I can highly recommend her Spanish classes. With every lesson I feel more confident speaking Spanish.
Hello! My name is Stephanie and I am from Bolivia. I have a degree in International Trade and a certification in my country to teach languages. As a teacher I am very patient and flexible, I know that learning a new language is not easy but I am here to help you make this journey as enjoyable and rewarding as possible.
Qualifications & Experience
I have been teaching languages for more than 7 years, both in institutes and private classes, in all these years as a teacher I have learned to handle different groups of people, like children from 8 years old to young adults, and also big groups of people that wanted to learn spanish.
I am very patient and flexible, I like to customize the class according to the needs of the students, and work all the skills of the target language.
Teaching Approach
In formal classes I always have a well prepared and structure program for all the material that we are going to cover with all the activities that will strength the skills of the students,for example on each class we work specifically in two, could be grammar and writing, so the next class we will work on listening and reading.
In conversational classes we talk about different topics so they can learn, practice and improve their spanish with new vocabulary and with a correct pronunciation.
Hola! mi nombre es Stephanie y soy de Bolivia. Soy licenciada en Comercio Internacional y Relaciones Exteriores, y una certificación en mi país para enseñar idiomas, como profesora soy muy paciente y flexible. Sé muy bien que aprender un nuevo idioma no siempre es fácil, pero con mi ayuda haremos este viaje algo tanto agradable como gratificante.
Qualifications & Experience
Llevo enseñando idiomas por mas de 7 años tanto en clases en institutos como privadas,en todos estos años como profesora he aprendido a tratar con diferentes grupos de personas, desde niños de 8 años hasta jóvenes adultos, también tuve la oportunidad de trabajar con grandes grupos de ejecutivos para enseñarles español .
Soy muy paciente y flexible y me gusta personalizar las clases según las necesidades de los estudiantes, y trabajar todas las destrezas del idioma que desea aprender.
Teaching Approach
En clases formales, siempre tengo un programa bien preparado y estructurado, con todo el material que vamos a cubrir y todas las actividades que reforzaran las habilidades del estudiante. Por ejemplo, en cada clase, trabajo específicamente en dos, podrían ser gramática y escritura, así que para la siguiente clase nos enfocaremos en la habilidad auditiva y lectura.
En las clases conversacionales, hablamos de temas muy variados, en los cuales pueden aprender, practicar y mejorar su español con nuevo vocabulario y la pronunciación correcta de éste.
