Teaching Approach
|
|
|
My teaching methodology changes and adapts according to each of my students, this ensures a successful learning experience for every one of them, every time. How I teach you Spanish/Engli sh will depend mostly on you, on how you learn best.
Befo re the lessons begin, I'd need you to take a placement test so I can have a better idea of what you know, how you learned it, and what needs to be practiced some more.
I always plan my courses and classes in advance but make them flexible enough to be able to change them along the way and add different contents if needed.
We usually begin with some small talk about your day or your weekend or your plans for the week, for example. After this, we check the homework and answer any doubts or questions there may be. Once everything is understood and explained, we can start with the current topic of the lesson.
If you take classes with me, you will always have homework to do :)
I keep a log of each lesson where I write down the contents we're studying and how you're doing on each of them. When it's an individual tailor-made course, it is quite easy to see the student's progress and needs. When classes are mainly conversationa l and focused on improving verbal communication , for example, I usually work with a wide variety of texts. We read them, we make a vocabulary, we answer questions about them, and then we transfer the topics from the texts to you. Here you can express opinions and relate the gist of them to events from your own life, for instance. The more "natural" these talks are, the more you're going to find them useful.

Program Description

¡Hola a todos!
My name is Patricia Díaz. I'm a native Spanish speaker and a teacher. I've been teaching Spanish and English as second languages since 2004 and every day I enjoy my job even more!
I did my Spanish Philology and Literature studies and learned how to become a teacher at the National University of Salta.
I'm a committed, responsible and professional person, who is always eager to learn new things and in permanent training. My patience is infinite and I can find a thousand ways to explain something if it's necessary :)
I can make a course specifically for you, according to your knowledge, needs, interests, and requests. In 14 years of doing this, I've never taught the same course twice. I can even 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 speak in any Spanish-speak ing country.
O ver 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 several years with excellent results.
I 'm in love with languages and communication and teaching is my calling, my passion. With me grammar will never ever be an issue, furthermore, I can promise you that sometimes you'll even 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/Engli sh in no time.
I'm looking forward to hearing from you!
