Experienced and fun language teacher for Spanish as a foreign language (ELE - ESL)

¡Hola a todos!

My name is Patricia. I'm a native Spanish speaker and teacher. I've been teaching Spanish and English as foreign languages since 2004, and I've fallen in love with my job a little more every year :)

I did my Spanish Philology and Literature studies and learned how to become a teacher at the National University of Salta, Argentina.

I'm a committed, responsible and professional person, who is always eager to learn new things and in permanent training. My patience knows no limits and I can find a thousand ways to explain something if necessary.

I can make a course specifically for you, according to your knowledge, needs, interests, and requests. In 15 years of doing this, I've never taught the same course twice. I can compile and produce tailor-made study material for you. Since I'm absolutely passionate about Spanish, I've studied its different varieties around the world, so I can guarantee that with my classes you'll be able to have a proper conversation in any Spanish speaking country.

Over the years I've worked with a wide variety of students, from teenagers to adults, from complete beginners to proficient people who just wanted to practice speaking. I also help students prepare for the DELE exams, I've done so in the past with excellent results. I'm a certified DELE examiner so I have extensive knowledge of this test.

I'm in love with languages and communication, and teaching is my calling, my passion. With me grammar will never be an issue, furthermore, I can promise you that you'll enjoy it and have fun!

I'd be more than happy to discuss with you what is the best way for you to learn from scratch or improve your Spanish in no time.

I'm looking forward to hearing from you!

Easy to follow. I just had 1 lesson
I am English and speak fluent Dutch. Spanish has always been a language that I loved and wanted to learn. So, I took the plunge and started learning with Patricia. Patricia is such a dedicated highly professional teacher, full of enthusiasm. She inspires me by using all kinds of different lesson methods. Reading, watching films, various writing exercises that she creates herself, she also encourages students to attend monthly get togethers where we all speak Spanish together around a well adorned table of food and drink with a Spanish speaking country as the theme. Her patience with my slow talking and constant mistakes with word endings and verbs is just amazing!! I have been learning for more than half a year now and I hope many more years to come.Thank you Patricia! I highly recommend this teacher.
Patricia is a great teacher - I am having a lot of fun and am learning a lot in her lessons. She is engaging, talks and instructs clearly, has good advice and is extremely patient with my halting Spanish!
Very sweet and patient teacher

Spanish Class! 🇪🇸 Become Fluent with a certified teacher! 🇪🇸 (All levels)
Viajes & Negocios | Conversacion 🇪🇸 ✨ Profesora nativa certificada y Examinadora DELE & SIELE ✨ Do you like Spanish and want to improve it? Look no further! ✨ +5 años de experiencia te ayudaré a hablar con seguridad y fluidez. ✨ ¿Viajes o negocios? ¡Ya no serán un reto! ✨ ¡100% de éxito! Tú puedes ser el próximo en lograrlo!!! My name is Lucía I’m a Spanish instructor in Japan 🇯🇵 with a Master's degree in Teaching Spanish and a DELE official examiner. Ready to make learning fun and engaging! In this class, we focus 100% on conversation. You'll get to speak in a relaxed and friendly environment, practicing the language naturally and effectively 🌟 🌟 I will provide personalized feedback 📝, helping you correct mistakes in real-time, improve your pronunciation, and expand your vocabulary. No matter your current level*, everyone is welcome! 🎉 Currently pursuing a PhD in Applied Linguistics with a focus on Sociolinguistics and Pragmatics, I understand the challenges of language learning. After three years of studying Korean 🇰🇷, I traveled to Korea and realized I couldn't speak it well. Confidence came through conversation classes with a native teacher, discussing different topics each week. I'm passionate about teaching Spanish and now offer a new class for those wanting to improve their conversation skills, along with my grammar/conversation classes to enhance your understanding of Spanish structures. Don't miss this opportunity to take your Spanish to the next level! 🚀 * If it’s your first time learning Spanish, you might want to start with my regular classes where we’ll cover both grammar and conversation. Just keep in mind that this particular class focuses on enhancing your fluency!!

Kevin
Polyglot specialist with 9 years of experience. German in speed mode. Level A1 to C2. No school teaching.
I offer you a German course that is not like the others. There are two types of courses. Here is an analogy to illustrate their respective approaches: If you travel back and forth by train every day and don't have time to wait long at the platform, imagine that you only have two options: 1) Memorise the timetable. 2) Realise that the train comes every ten minutes and that a train arrives for example at 7:00 a.m. In school pedagogy, in textbooks and in normal lessons, the first approach is used - in the course I am offering you, it is the second approach because it is more economical and faster. My offer is aimed at both pupils and adults who want to learn the German language without time-consuming detours through the madness of fruitless school methods. Learning is easy, but unlearning things that have become bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, with my customised lessons you will greatly accelerate the learning process while having a positive attitude. I offer German lessons for individuals or groups (2 to 5 people). The methods are based on cognitive science and historical linguistics in particular. My modular programme can be adapted on a case-by-case basis. The converging point of these modules is your independence in spontaneous conversations in real life. What will not be covered in the course: learning lists of verbs; learning lists of nouns with articles; learning words with their translations; flashcards; doing school exercises; following the syllabus of a booklet; imposing the English grammar on the German language. What is particularly important to me: to motivate my student and to give him a learning rhythm; to encourage his creativity; to befriend him with the language; the letters and their sounds; to strengthen the memory by training the phonological loop; to teach blueprints instead of memorising sentences; to explain how the language works in order to make my student independent as quickly as possible; to eliminate common preconceptions, such as that 'der' would mean masculine and 'die' feminine, that the accusative would be a direct complement and the dative an indirect complement, that verbs would be irregular, that declension would be random and therefore would have to be learnt with each verb...; to put practice at the centre and only deal with grammar where necessary. A first lesson will give you a sound idea of my pedagogy.

Hello, I am Majda, French language teacher. I have been giving private lessons online since 2018. I offer special sessions that meet your needs and objectives to successfully complete your DELF (Diplôme d'Etudes en Langue Française) or DALF (Advanced Diploma in French Language), including the TCF (French Knowledge Test). I have been supporting many interested people of different nationalities thanks to online courses since 2018; For me, helping enthusiasts to practice the French language is a very good experience because I understand that success is a capital objective in the life of ambitious people. I speak Arabic, French, Spanish, and also English. I explain my lessons in the language of your choice. And at the end of each session, I give lessons with exercises to do as homework to examine your gaps and monitor your progress. Here are some things to know about the DELF and DALF: The DELF (Diploma of Studies in French Language) and the DALF (Advanced Diploma in French Language) are two official and quality diplomas. They are harmonized on the levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. They include the following six levels, in ascending order: A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2. These two diplomas are suitable for all ages and all audiences. In addition, the DELF B2, and increasingly the DALF C1, allow students to enter French, European or French-speaking universities, and certain Grandes Ecoles. Will you have DELF or DALF exams to pass? Do you need to follow specific sessions with me to improve your level? Don't hesitate to book your sessions so that we can start the preparation. I am available !

English(Improve Academic/Language skills, Terminology, Proofreading Thesis/Papers ): Beginner/Intermediate/Advanced
English as a language is not only widely spoken but also, has made itself a prerequisite to the international world. Even if it is academic or just a beginner learning it for the first time, I will be helping you learn and master the English language just as I did until I achieved my dream of attending a university in English. Reading, Listening, Writing, and Speaking are essential fundamentals to truly master a language so we will have a lot of experience during our sessions in all of them depending on the student's needs.
