Experience Summary
Spanish-language independent provider with 25 years of experience. Originally from Mexico and now based in the SF Bay Area since 2005. Also working remotely on video-conference programs.
Tailored to your possibilities, interests, goals, whereas: travel, school, general culture, medical, legal (since I am certified translator), relocating, or simply personal fulfilment, brain maintenance, etc.
I will be teaching you Standard Spanish. You get a chance to get familiar with the educated variety and I constantly compare the main international varieties and registers like: travel terms, street talk, business, or your personal goal. I have a broad knowledge of those and the language itself.
I will be glad to help you speak the language at your best and increase it also within a good period of time with Spanish Lessons
Teaching Style
My Spanish Conversation Courses will help you speak the language in a reasonable period of time, with fluency, confidence, and content that is clear, accurate and adapted to your level of proficiency at different times of your learning process; all of which we can achieve together at different paces. I will make use of the knowledge you have previously acquired, either in a formal setting: like a school; or by studying on your own; and maybe by simply listening, hearing, watching and reading Spanish around you, California anyone?. If you have done some previous work, it would be a good idea to include some of the material you have previously used in our new course. This means that if you have an old notebook, book, CD’s, and maybe an old Spanish-speaking friend… you should unlock them and bring them to class sometime soon. This reminds me of an important principle I use all through my courses and that is to make use of all that previous knowledge you have acquired to a certain extent, which increases the pace at which we make progress at the beginning of our course.
My Hobbies
Yoga, Tai Chi, music (traditional) etc.
Other Comments
One element that is as important as grammar, vocabulary, and extensive practice is ‘Confidence’, and this is practiced, and therefore increased, in my courses, just as the other language skills.
Confidence: I will have it as a goal from your very first class and we start working on it as soon as possible with our lessons.
