About the lesson

I approach subjects with flexibility, depending on my students´ expectations and needs. I typically have a vocabulary section, then we practice some grammar skills, and we finalize with some culture reading, song, article or short story. However I always tailor the lessons to suit my students and to make them feel comfortable.

Karem has been my teacher for few years now. She teaches me Spanish. She has great skills in teaching both vocabulary and grammar. She always comes prepared for the class, she is always on time. She is very patient, explaining grammar or vocabulary difficulties and giving examples of usage. She has a real talent for making the pupil talk, which is so important when learning a foreign language. It is a real pleasure learning with her, as she is always in good spirits, great to talk to and easy to learn from.
