Hola! I'm a certified Spanish teacher (ELE) from Argentina. I have a BA in translation, for which reason I know a lot of grammar, phonetics and phonology. I've been a volunteer for AFS many years ago, and during this time I've been teaching Spanish to exchange students coming to Argentina. For the last 4 years, I've been a digital nomad, teaching Spanish over Zoom while traveling around South America and Europe. About my interest, I do a lot of research on education, and I am very interested in literature, films, spiritualism, philosophy, vegetarianism, ecology, among other topics.
I use the pre-teaching technique, which I use to introduce vocabulary and grammar before working with the corresponding texts and resources. I use Google Drive and Zoom blackboard during the lesson (You will have all your notes and material well organized in Google Drive), through which I introduce the texts, slides, pictures, flashcards, audios or videos that we will use during the lesson. I try to perform the lessons in a way as creative and fun as possible. I create many of my resources or take them from other pages, but we won't have just one book to learn, as I create my own material
I like being very customized with my students, so I try to focus on your goals. If you want to travel, let's learn more about that and read travel articles. If you want to use Spanish for future work or your studies (perhaps working with an essay)... let's focus on that!
You can have very well structured lessons or just have conversation lessons (and I can send you material to study grammar and vocabulary on your own). It's all up to you!
