About me - English
I am a languages tutor from Venezuela. I really love languages and everything that is related to language teaching. I consider myself as a really nice and talkative person. I think it is essential for the type of job that I have. My hobbies are dancing, listening to music and watching movies. Those are the activities I usually do in my free time. I also like doing exercises and going to the theatre with my friends.
Qualifications & Experience
I am both a native and certified Spanish teacher with 5 year of experience as a Spanish as a Foreign Language Tutor. I also hold a master degree on Applied Linguistics which has helped me to understand the inner nature of languages and communication in general. I also hold a CELTA course, which is aimed to teach English but which can also be used to teach other languages since the teaching principles do not vary when it comes to teaching any language, instead, there are some supralinguistics facts that are true for any language in the world. I have a lot of experience teaching online classes and I have a lot of online material which can be used to help learners develop their communicative skills.
Teaching Approach
My teaching style is aimed at the students' needs so I adapt my lesson plans (based on my theoretical knowledge) matching those needs as well as other language-related facts which could be of paramount importance for the students. I also take into consideration the students 'learning styles. Since every student has a particular way to process the information, we as language tutors, must recognise those styles in such a way we can develop any lesson plan by using a number of strategies which can match both the students' learning styles and their needs.
Soy un tutor con mucha experiencia sobre la enseñanza de los idiomas inglés y español tanto en espacios físicos como en plataformas 'online'. Me encantan los idiomas, el análisis del discurso, la lingüística aplicada y todos aquellos elementos que de alguna u otra forma se relacionan con el lenguaje. Esto ha sido posible dada la enorme experiencia que he tenido con relación a la enseñanza y aprendizaje de lenguas, tanto laboral como académicamente hablando. En mi tiempo libre, me gusta bailar, hacer ejercicios y salir con mis amigos al teatro los fines de semana.
Qualifications & Experience
Tengo una maestría en Lingüística Aplicada. De igual modo, tengo un certificado de enseñanza del idioma español como lengua extranjera. Este certificado lo obtuve en la Universidad Central de Venezuela. Una de las universidades más reconocidas del país. Tengo mucha experiencia como instructor online. Particularmente, me he dedicado a desarrollar las destrezas comunicativas en los estudiantes en lo que respecta a actividades diarias, de igual modo he dictado clases que se adaptan a las exigencias de los distintos programas educativos de los cuales los estudiantes forman parte.
Teaching Approach
Mi enfoque de enseñanza del español se orienta principalmente a las necesidades del estudiante. El alumno llega al recinto educativo, o aula virtual, en este caso, con una serie de necesidades particulares que giran en torno al lenguaje. Dichas necesidades se traducen como debilidades que los estudiantes necesitan superar con la finalidad de lograr un mayor desenvolvimiento en lo que respecta a la producción oral o escrita del español. En ese sentido, mis clases parten de esas necesidades individuales que los estudiantes poseen y las combino con una serie de estrategias pedagógicas que han sido diseñadas para satisfacer los diversos estilos de aprendizaje del alumno.
