I would say the easiest way to learn a second language is through the application of the language's new knowledge and communication strategies in context, in a specific area of your interest and according to your use of Spanish level, which can be determined in a previous diagnostic. I’ve worked with groups and in personalized classes focused on special needs of learning and different communication skills.
I know learning a new language can be scary and tiring. Communication is key. My approach meets where you are at and continues to adjust. I focus on your goals and develop personalized pedagogy and lesson plans to get you there as quickly as you need.
I'm a native Spanish speaker from Chile currently living in Toronto. I have two degrees: Bachelor of Arts in Spanish Literature and linguistics, and Bachelor of Education in Spanish Language. I have been teaching Spanish as a second language for two years, and I’ve been teaching Spanish literacy skills for five years. I have extensive experience with beginners and advanced students who wanted to learn everyday Spanish and Spanish for academic use.
