Certified Spanish teacher with 15 years of experience. English, French, German and Russian spoken

Already done some Spanish but want to improve? Got some grammar issues? Want to work on your communication? Preparing for an exam? You always wanted to learn Spanish and have decided that the time might be just now? I can help you!

My name is Irene. I come from Guadalajara, a town close to Madrid, but live in beautiful Barcelona.

I understood very early that I like not only learning but also teaching languages and studied my Masters of Linguistics Applied to Teaching Spanish as a Foreign Language. I have lived in France, India, Germany and Russia teaching Spanish. During these 15 years of teaching, I learnt a lot about different methods, people and logics.
I use a variety of resources (textbooks, articles, small videos, audios...) providing examples, exercises and homework so that what is to be learnt is doable. I adapt my classes to what students want and need so they make the most of their time and money.

I think it is very important for students to feel comfortable and safe. It is also essential that what we do and talk about in class makes sense and is relevant for you. It is your goal and personal style of learning what will define our classes.

I also speak English, French, German and Russian. I can explain in the student′ s mother tongue if necessary although my goal will be to speak Spanish from the very beginning with affordable exercises adapted to your level.

I love teaching and learning new languages because they bring us closer.

About Me

My name is Irene and right now I am 39. I come from Guadalajara but live in beautiful Barcelona.
I understood very early that I like teaching languages and studied my masters of Linguistics applied to Teaching Spanish as a Foreign Language to do so. I have lived in France, India, Germany and Russia teaching Spanish. During these 15 years teaching (and counting!) I learnt a lot about different methods, people and logics.
I love teaching and learning new languages because it brings us closer.

Education

My bachelor is Translation and Interpreting (English and French). I did one year as Spanish assistant in schools in the South of France and understood that I liked teaching (funny enough I discovered with time that it was adults I prefer to work with) and then studied my masters of Linguistics applied to teaching Spanish as a foreign language to do so.

While working these last 15 years, I have done different courses to learn more about my profession.
I am also a certified tutor for SIELE.

Talk! Talk! Talk! If you have trouble speaking fluently, you always go blank, it takes a lot of effort to construct sentences or find the words when you need them, we can work and improve this! If you have problems with grammar, I prepare classes adapted to your objective with specific exercises and specific resources. If you are preparing for an exam (TOEFL, IELTS, Cambridge, Official Language School...), I can help you with the preparation with specialized material, focused corrections and important guidelines when taking the test so that we can iron out your errors and controlling your production. Let's do this!

I offer lessons in each of the aforementioned languages to anyone who wishes to learn them: face-to-face (Barcelona), or online.

Pedro
English -and Spanish for foreigners A1-B2 for teenagers, adults and seniors
Learning 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.

Miquel
Comprehensive English: Conversation, grammar and reading comprehension
Normally the foreign language is learned in an unnatural way by focusing on grammar and writing, when in reality we know that a language is learned first by speaking and then by reading and writing. Just as young children do, remembering and associating. Learning to use and enjoy a language is the basis for learning to read and write later. With this inversion of the order of the factors, the learning of grammatical rules and spelling is not forgotten, but rather they can be learned more easily as soon as they begin to acquire oral skills.

Claudia
