For my lessons I like to talk about what inspires my students to learn Spanish. It's important to me to know my student's aspirations, expectations and weaknesses when it comes to learning something new. With me, you will not only learn how to say basic sentences but how to make a conversation in Spanish with a native speaker.

I'm a strong believer that lessons shouldn't be boring or overwhelming, that's why I cover lessons from 20-40 mins depending on what my student wants. I like to keep my lessons to a reasonable length of time so my students have a desire to keep learning without feeling stressed or mentally tired. My lessons are for all ages! However, for students under 10 years old I need the parents to be present as well, it is important to me to know if my student feels comfortable or needs any support from their parents that maybe I cannot provide them. For teenagers and adults, my only rule is to keep things respectful, I love talking with people and hearing their stories and backgrounds, so I expect the same treatment and respect from my students towards me.

As a tutor I fully commit to help with every question my students might have and educate myself in the things I can't help with at the moment for future lessons, as a young tutor it is also important to me to learn from my students, I'm open to feedback and to try different teaching strategies.
