Teaching style

Teaching methods: During the Spanish lesson I share a Presentation with texts, images, and exercises and I choose different topics to practice conversation. The lesson could focus on theoretical subjects, conversation, or hybrid methodology.

I will adapt the content and the order of the subjects/topics depending on the student's needs and interests. In general, I give one exercise/song/video for homework, so you can practice your listening/writing skills.

Hobbies

I love to travel and learning about different cultures.
In my free time, I like to cook recipes from my country and learn about international food (especially spicy food). In general, I travel by bus or plane; but I also believe that we can travel through food, music, language, and movies too. That is why I love to share my culture with my students, so they feel like they travel to the Spanish world in each lesson.

Other things that I like: trekking, hiking, reading, music, dance, art, gardening, philosophy, and design.

Teaching Spanish as a second language since 2015.

I speak a total of 3 languages:
Spanish (Native), English (Advanced), Italian (Intermediate).

I've visited or lived in the following countries: Argentina, Uruguay, Chile, Brazil, Spain, England, Germany, France, Denmark, Italy, Greece, Albania, Hungary, Morocco, Turkey, China, Japan, Malaysia, Australia, New Zealand, Thailand, South Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia, Philippines and Indonesia.
