Today, we went over ser and estar, and some irregular verbs. I really enjoyed my class with miss Alejandra. I enjoyed my feed back and had fun making sure I understood some important concepts of Spanish.
Going2JapanOneDay United States
I really enjoyed Miss Alejandra's class. This was my first class, so it was an assessment of my skills. I've only been studying Spanish for 2 weeks, after a long break (years) but I feel I did okay for my level. She was nice, patient, and understanding. The class felt a little short, but maybe we started early, and time just flew by. I enjoyed how she prepared an assessment for me. Some parts of the assessment were a little difficult.
NOT TAKING NEW STUDENST AT THE MOMENT. Soy de Argentina, pero actualmente vivo en México. El español es mi lengua materna. Comencé a enseñar español en el año 2016. Estaba de viaje por Latinoamérica y surgió por casualidad la oportunidad de enseñar español. Ahí descubrí cuánto me gustaba hacerlo, así que continué con las clases en Ecuador en un pueblo donde viven muchos extranjeros. Fue una experiencia hermosa, conocer personas provenientes de diferentes culturas. Cuando regresé a Argentina, en 2018, comencé a enseñar de forma online y comprobé que la experiencia es igual de enriquecedora.
Soy muy amable y de buen humor. disfruto mucho conociendo personas de otros países y ayudándolos a comunicarse en español.
Hablo también inglés.
ENSEÑO ÚNICAMENTE A ADULTOS DESDE 18 AÑOS
I'm from Argentina but currently living in Mexico. Spanish is my mother tongue. I started teaching Spanish in 2016. I was traveling through Latin America and the opportunity to teach Spanish arose by chance. There I discovered how much I liked doing it, so I continued with the classes in Ecuador in a town where many foreigners live. It was a beautiful experience, meeting people from different cultures. When I returned to Argentina in 2018, I started teaching online and found that the experience is just as enriching.
I am very kind and in a good mood. I really enjoy meeting people from other countries and helping them communicate in Spanish.
I also speak English.

Teaching Approach
No tengo un único método de enseñanza, me gusta adaptarme a lo que el estudiante quiere y necesita. Antes de la primera clase pregunto al estudiante cuánto sabe previamente sobre español, por qué quiere aprender? si tiene problemas en algo en particular o qué tema en particular le gustaría aprender, etc.
Intento que las clases no sean aburridas y que el estudiante hable bastante. Suelo empezar con una clase de prueba 'convencional' viendo algunas cosas de gramática y haciendo algunos ejercicios, pero siempre poniendo el foco e intentando que el estudiante manifieste cómo quiere que sea la dinámica de la clase.
Siempre preparo las clases con anterioridad, tanto ejercicios o los temas a explicar, para poder hacerlas lo mejor posible.
En general he dado clases a adultos o jóvenes mayores de 18 años, en los niveles A2-C2.
I don't have a single teaching method, I like to adapt to what the student wants and needs. Before the first class I ask the student how much he/she previously knows about Spanish, why does he/she want to learn? if has problems with something in particular or what subject in particular you would like to learn, etc.
I try to make the classes not boring and the student talks at least a bit. I usually start with a 'conventional' test class looking at some grammar things and doing some exercises, but always trying to get the student shows how he/she wants the class dynamics to be.
I always prepare the classes in advance, both exercises and topics to explain, in order to do them as well as possible.
I only have taught adults or young people above 18 years of age, of levels A2-C2.
