Teaching Style
Based on communication and personalized according to students needs.One of my major achievements are my contributions to the Spanish and English materials market: I have become a popular novelist and songs composer. Some of these books have been developed into movies, like Pobre Ana bailó tango ; I was the executive producer of the movie.Additionally, I have co-authored several educational materials like the series written by Carol Gaab and has edited other novels written by Blaine Ray and Karen Rowan.
I have been the consecutive translator for projects about alternative energy developed by USA, Argentina and Chile between 2006 and 2010.I have done consecutive interpretations on the phone, in person , video conferencing and in cabin, at different locations( Germany, Argentina, USA).
I have traveled all the way to US to find out about a cutting edge methodology called TPRS in order to maximize my students acquisition-learning process. . This is how I started writing TPRS novels, a new concept to be coined by the TPRS world. A TPRS novelist is focused on writing captivating, engaging, easily comprehensive readings that use high frequency words and which are easily understood by students in their first attempts at reading foreign language readers.
I have been teaching online for the last 8 years and I find this style fascinating.This is one of the reasons I am writing to you. I would be very happy to work with you, in case of an opening.
