    English lessons and tutoring for Spanish speakers (all levels)

    Translated by Google. Click to view original.
    The methods will depend on your level, your goals, and your preferences. For example, we can do
    - conversational practice
    - reading something in English on a topic that interests you
    - traditional lessons
    - resolution of doubts that arise in a course

    I don't think formal grammar is absolutely necessary to learn a language, but I do have training in it, so if you have grammar questions, I'm prepared. I know that all languages are difficult to learn, and English is a little more difficult than expected. Every question is a legitimate question!

    Vivo en la comunidad multicultural de Monteverde, Costa Rica. Estudié filología clásica por trece años en los Estados Unidos.

    I live in the multicultural community of Monteverde, Costa Rica. I studied Classics for thirteen years in the United States.

    Experience / Qualifications

    Hablante nativo del inglés. Tengo cinco años de experiencia enseñando temas de cultura y lenguas clásicas, la mayoría de ellos como instructor de latín o griego.

    Native speaker of English. I have five years of experience teaching classical culture and languages as a TA, most of them as a Latin or Greek instructor.
    Methods are flexible depending on your level, goals, and preferences. For example, we can - use the traditional grammar-translation method - read something in Greek or Latin that you're interested in together - practice having a conversation in Greek or Latin - go over questions that came up during a course you're taking. All questions are good questions! Some quotations from my evaluations when I taught Latin and Greek as a grad student: "Silvio was a delight to work with. His mastery of [Greek] is impressive, and his joy at sharing his enthusiasm for it is inspiring." "Silvio is the most patient human being I have ever met. . . . He is very understanding in how difficult Latin can be and never talks down to us like we're stupid." "I have nothing bad to say about this instructor . . . he has made learning a completely new language (not to mention a dead language) engaging and easy."

    FOREING LANGUAGE ENGLISH CLASSES FOR CHILDREN (BASSIC)
    English is a potential language nowadays and it is better if we learn it when we are young. Children who learn English not only gain linguistic competence, but also gain a deeper understanding of the culture and customs of English-speaking countries. One of the most significant benefits of teaching English to children is that it supports cognitive development. Thanks to studies conducted by scientists, we know that learning a language positively affects skills such as problem-solving, critical thinking, and creativity.

    AQA GCSE English Language tutoring and extra booster class
    I completed the 2024 GCSE and i am currently an A-Level student. For me, English Language was one of my favourite subjects. I improved in bounds during year 11, going from a grade 4 in my mocks to a grade 9 before my exams in the time period of just a few months. I would first assess the student to see their level. For example, what they currently know, what is being taught in school, and any weak areas. I would focus on one paper and question at a time, and go into depth for every question - what is being asked, any tips and tricks and how to tackle it in a time limit. Lessons will be tailored for each individual student, including examples and practice of their own.
