I booked a last minute lesson with Milagros to prepare for a job interview. I couldn't have asked for better support. She coached me through a list of possible interview questions, all of which were spot on for the sector. Very impressive considering the little information I gave her and the short notice. I went into the interview with confidence, and aced it. Very appreciative of her support and will be happy to continue lessons with her.

Milagros is a really good teacher and we really enjoy the spanish classes!! Muchas gracias!!
I am from Venezuela, and I live currently in Medellin, Colombia.
I consider myself an empathic, outgoing, and curious person who loves smiling.
I love animals, music, nature, food, dancing, and sharing with people. I enjoy learning, so I have taken different courses in design, crafts, dancing, nails, and photography. They are not connected to education, but learning makes me happy.
Nowadays, I am learning French, and I know some Italian too. I hope to continue learning since I enjoy meeting new cultures and their history.
Qualifications & Experience
I got a Bachelor's Degree in Education with a major in Foreign Languages (English). I have been teaching since 2008. I have taught children, teenagers, and adults. I have taken two Diplomas in teaching foreign languages and Childhood Psychology.
I have been teaching my mother tongue online since 2018 in Venezuela and Colombia. In 2020, I got a Diploma in teaching Spanish as a Foreign Language. This has allowed me to spread out my knowledge about the language, resources, and materials.
I have worked in Kindergarten, Primary, High School, and Language Institutes with adults. Nowadays, I am trying to expand my experience in online teaching. I took a course in digital design since I love creating tailored materials for my classes.
Teaching Approach
Materials used in class are based on The Communicative, and Functional-notional Approach. Even though, they can be adapted to the student's skills and needs. Based on my experience, I can say every single person learns in a different way. Besides, it depends on the goals and the motivation each student has to learn the language.
Soy de Venezuela pero actualmente vivo en Medellín, Colombia. Me considero una persona empática y extrovertida a quien le gusta sonreir. Me encantan los animales, la música, la naturaleza, la comida, el baile y compartir con las personas.
También disfruto aprender. Es por eso que he tomado cursos de otras áreas como diseño digital, maualidades, baile, uñas y fotografía. Sólo porque aprender cosas nuevas me hace feliz.
Actualmente aprendo francés y sé sólo un poco de italiano. Me gustaría aprender más para conocer nuevas personas y aprender sobre la historia y la cultura en diferentes partes del mundo.
Qualifications & Experience
Obtuve un grado de Licenciatura en Educación con especialidad en idiomas extranjeros. Específicamente, inglés. El cual enseño desde 2008.
He trabajado en diferentes niveles, ya que también obtuve un diploma en Psicopedagogía Infantil.
Enseño mi idioma materno, el español o castellano, desde 2018 en Venezuela y Colombia. En 2020, realicé una actualización obteniendo un diploma en Enseñanza de Español como Lengua Extranjera. Lo cual me ha permitido expandirme en cuanto a conocimientos, actualidades, recursos y materiales.
Teaching Approach
Los materiales usados en clase son basados en el Método Comunicativo y el enfoque Función-noción. Sin embargo, todos los materiales están prestos a ser modificados y adaptados a las destrezas y necesidades del estudiante. En mi experiencia, puedo decir que cada persona aprende de una manera diferente. Tamién se toma en cuenta los objetivos y metas de cada estudiante.
