    Spanish as a Foreign Language: grammar, vocabulary, conversation, culture.

    Translated by Google. Click to view original.
    Hi there! My name is Laura and I am a Hispanic philologist, linguist and playwright, so I know Spanish very well.
    I teach Spanish as a second language, where we will adapt the content to what you need: grammar, vocabulary, expressions, conversation, cultural issues, etc.
    At the University I worked as a tutor for foreign students, so I have experience.

    About Me

    I do love languages (English, French and now, I'm studying Japanese) and different cultures. I think that learning a new language changes our mind and it's always funny.
    Are you asking why do we say something in Spanish? When do we use "ser" and "estar"? Is this sentence difficult: "me voy a ir yendo"? I can explain it all that.
    We can focus on whatever you need: grammar, vocabulary, conversation, listening, writing... Always with explanations in order to understand the subject, not only memorizing it.

    Education

    I've studied Spanish: language and literature at Universidad Complutense. Then, I did a Master's degree in spanish language research. After that, I studied Dramaturgy at RESAD. Now, I'm doing my PhD.

    Experience / Qualifications

    I have been private teacher for 10 years (Spanish language and literature, French). At university, I was tutor of foreign students.
