¿Por o para? Spanish conversation course - dare to speak!
Translated by Google. Click to view original.
In this series of lessons we focus on conversations. Often the most difficult step is from theoretical knowledge to practice. Do you suddenly start to hesitate in a conversation whether you should use 'perfecto' or 'imperfecto' when you want to talk about that trip last summer? Was it 'por' or 'para' as a preposition?Depending on your interests, we start the lesson by reading a customized text or discussing a photo. That text or photo will then serve as a starting point for the conversation.

About Me
Translated by Google. Click to view original.
I am Maxim, born and raised in Ostend, Belgium. After my studies at Ghent University, I completed a PhD in Literature (Spanish/Latin).After working for one year at the University of Chicago, I moved to Barcelona in 2019, where I currently live with my Argentinian wife and one-year-old daughter Montse.
Teaching Spanish is a passion that I have been sharing with students through tutoring for years. I often notice that there is a great need to practice the theoretical knowledge acquired through conversations and that is exactly what I want to offer here. Of course, grammar or specific vocabulary can also be discussed in more depth, if desired. Specific themes are chosen based on the student's profile.
In addition, I am also passionate about Latin from post-classical periods (e.g. the Renaissance). I like to read Latin texts with students that are closer to today's world. The focus is initially on linear reading; then, grammatical or cultural aspects are possibly explored in more depth.

Soy Maxim, nací y crecí en Ostend, Belgium. Después de mis estudios en la Universidad de Gante, completé un doctorado en Literatura (española/latina).
Después de trabajar un año en la Universidad de Chicago, me mudé a Barcelona en 2019, donde actualmente vivo con mi esposa argentina y mi hija Montse.
Enseñar español es una pasión que he compartido durante años con mis estudiantes a través de tutorías. It is important to note that it is necessary to practice the technical aspects of the conversation and to be precise in order to obtain information. If you want, you can learn more and use grammar and vocabulary, so you can read it. Los temas especificos se eligen en función del perfil del estudiante.
También me apasiona el latín de los periodos posclásicos (eg el Renacimiento). Me encanta compartir con estudiantes la lectura de textos que están más cerca de nuestras vidas actuales. Se centers inicialmente en la lectura lineal de los textos; Posterior discussions about the details of grammatical and cultural aspects.

I had a very good experience with Maxim as my teacher. He was patient and always ready to adapt the learning material to my needs. He put in extra effort to make up tests and writing tasks at my request.
He is passionate about the Spanish language and culture which made his classes very enjoyable.
A big thanks for helping me improve and reach my goals.
Be surprised by a varied offer. In this series of tutoring lessons I give tips to be able to read Latin texts fluently. Using a number of selected texts from post-classical periods (mainly the Renaissance), both prose and poetry, we approach Latin as a modern language. This means that we read linearly and do not try to solve the sentence structures as a puzzle. The intended goal is to read Latin in a fluent and pleasant way, as well as to become acquainted with Latin texts and cultures from later periods.

Claudia
Learn to communicate in French: personalized coaching in general and business FLE by a polyglotta linguistHello!
I am Claudia and for almost 10 years I have dedicated myself to learning and teaching languages traveling through Europe. In addition to being a language coach, I am a trainer of intercultural and cross-cultural communication
If you haven't found out yet, communication is my life!
Thanks to my travels and my professional experience, I have understood that learning a language means first of all understanding its contexts of use and the society around it. For this reason, I use cultural content as stimuli to work on the linguistic and communicative skills of my students. In fact, my students become consumers of culture, music, current affairs, cinema, series, shorts and everything that can help them experience the realities of different languages.
I speak five languages, two of which I have learned on a self-taught basis. Also, with a BA in Languages and a MA in Linguistics, I am a specialist in language, mental management and planning. I consider learning a language as a project, because it will always be connected to another larger / wider project. Maybe to move to another country or prepare for a job promotion ...
My students are students, individuals, company employees and expatriates who need to develop a methodology to learn languages effectively.
The services I offer are different / diverse: individual or group coaching, training for companies, preparation of talks and meetings, fluency training, and other linguistic services such as proofreading and writing in Italian, French and English.
The first step to understand what type of service you need is to contact me to arrange a first interview.
What will happen in said interview?
I will ask you several questions that will help me to make an analysis of your linguistic profile, evaluate your level and establish your learning objectives. On the same occasion, I will explain my methodology and the tools that we will use at work. We will also discuss the type of coaching (online or face-to-face), the schedules, the prices, and the possible offers.
After the first interview, you will receive a report with a personalized pedagogical proposal and a budget.
It doesn't matter where you live, I'll wait for you in Barcelona or online
So what, do you sign up?

English -and Spanish for foreigners A1-B2 for teenagers, adults and seniorsLearning English and Spanish is of vital importance for students, professionals and tourists. As a student of English and Spanish you must know, learn and master basic vocabulary at levels A1-A2 since it will depend on this whether you can understand and communicate in these languages.
As a student of English and Spanish at levels B1-B2, you will need to know more complex vocabulary and expressions to effectively improve your speaking and writing skills on different academic and non-academic topics. At these levels the aim is for students to be more autonomous in their learning and to be able to communicate with more security and fluency. I have prepared this course as a practical guide in learning English and Spanish for students and professionals.
You will learn vocabulary, expressions used in different communicative contexts, and develop and improve your listening, speaking, reading and writing skills naturally with the best language learning methodologies.

English or Spanish vocabulary and grammar lessons.I am certified with the C1 level of english and my native language is Spanish. We could have conversations in the language that you are interested in learning. Also, if you are currently having the subject at school, we can solve the exercises together to reforce the language and the understandment of it. Personally I am really dynamic and I try to give another way of teaching that is more about having fun with it so you don't feel it like any other class you ever had.
