    About Me

    Hi! It's nice to meet you! I hope I get the chance to help you with your English because I truly love teaching. I teach ages 1-16 in a Colegio in Torrejon de Ardoz, and I love every moment with my kiddos. I am very energetic, friendly, and out-going and you won't have to worry about feeling shy or nervous to practice with me.
    My belief is that when people are comfortable, they are much more likely to succeed and excel in languages. For that reason, I do everything in my power to make students feel comfortable, confident and excited to learn. I welcome mistakes with open arms because after all, mistakes are the best way to learn when it comes to new languages.

    A little bit about me...
    I am from the United States, specifically from Pennsylvania, however, I went to school at the University of Kentucky and graduated with a degree in Psychology & Spanish Language. I love to travel and have travelled and studied abroad in Sevilla, Spain and Valparaíso, Chile.
    I have worked with children for over 6 years in various settings: schools, research labs, psychology clinics, and NGOs...I have a clear passion for working with children and strongly believe that we learn as much from them as they learn from us.
    In my free time, I am an avid reader, I love to sing and play instruments, and I am a big fan of musicals and theatre. I also love spending time with my friends and exploring nature and the city of Madrid.

    Education

    I graduated from the University of Kentucky with an average GPA of 3.89 and a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology & Spanish Language. During my time in university, I studied in Sevilla, Spain for 8 months and later in Valparaiso, Chile for a summer completing an internship with an NGO for vulnerable youth.

    Experience / Qualifications

    As far as my experience with children, I have worked with children in various educational settings for over 6 years. Some of that experience includes volunteering as a tutor for elementary-aged children, completing an internship with a non-profit dedicated to enhancing the educational abilities of vulnerable youth in Valparaíso, Chile and working as the Developmental Coordinator for a small NGO in Lexington, Kentucky that is dedicated to helping enhance students educational abilities in an after-school setting for children living in poverty. Currently, I am completing a course in Teaching English as a Foreign Language that will be completed by May.
    In terms of working with adults, I have many friends who speak English as a second language and have immensely helped them improve upon their skills in a number of ways: the main ones being through conversation and providing a comfortable environment for them to feel confident practicing and improving upon their abilities.

    Clases Particulares y Clases Empresariales de Inglés General y de Business English para ejecutivos, empresas y el público en general
    I have a degree in psychology with a minor in Spanish. I hold a master's degree in Transactional Analysis, a sub-field of psychology. My hobbies include salsa music, watching movies, traveling, biking, swimming, and exercising. Before becoming an independent teacher, I taught English at a public school in Oakland, California. Previously, I served as a sales manager for a travel agency in both Mexico and California. For lessons, I begin with a diagnostic session to understand your goals, needs, and interests. This is basically an evaluation so I can see what your "wants and needs" are, as well as your goals, requirements, interests, and we'll go from there. At the end of the first session I will give you an estimate as to the timeline needed to reach your objectives. My teaching methodologies include L1-L2, Grammar, Direct Method, Communicative Approach, Eclectic Approach, Intensive Conversational Method, and Role-Play Workshops (especially useful for practicing job interviews and presentations). I specialize in General English, Business English, IELTS, and English for healthcare professionals. Typically, it takes two to three months to reach C1 level from B1-B2. I offer tailored classes, emphasizing collocations, grammar, sentence structure, speech, informal colloquial (spoken) language, phrasal verbs, idiomatic expressions, and verb-preposition usage. I also use a lot of exercises, free conversations, discussion topics, role plays and some grammar if and when needed. Most of my students are native Spanish speakers as I am fully bilingual. Feel free to reach out so we can discuss how I can assist you with your specific plans!

    French and English lessons for beginners to advanced
    As a first-year law and international relations student at IE University in Madrid, languages are one of my qualities and I really want to pass on my knowledge. I have been used to giving lessons for several years, which has allowed me to develop a complete program, adapted to the education system, with various activities and exercises. I am looking for real complicity and trust in order to be able to bring the student to the highest level, by making him love what he is studying.

    I teach German, English and Spanish classes online
    Languages are my passion. If you are interested in learning spanish, english or german do not hesitate to contact me! I was born in Spain and I studied English and German Philology at the University in Bonn, Germany, where I lived for 6, 5 years. I think that learning a new language enhances your abilities to communicate with other people and broadens your horizons. German is a versatile language that has a really interesting word structure and is very useful in many academic fields. Spanish is the world`s second-most spoken native language and I would be glad to teach you this language, as it is my mother tongue. English is a relevant language with a high cultural relevance all over the world.
