As an experienced teacher, I am mindful of the difficulties that students may face. Therefore, I present the material clearly and distinctly, and I am always available to answer any questions. My approach to teaching is customized to each student's needs, as I understand that every learner requires a different approach and learning style. I develop a tailored lesson plan for each student, which I adapt and adjust as necessary based on their progress and success.

I strive to make the learning process engaging and enjoyable, as I understand that learning a new language can be challenging, especially in the early stages. I am patient and straightforward, and I always endeavor to help my students overcome any difficulties, so they can feel comfortable using a foreign language as soon as possible. I motivate and inspire my students to learn, encouraging them every step of the way. Additionally, I like to add cultural insights to my lessons, making them even more engaging and interactive.

Antonio Machado once wrote, 'Caminante no hay camino, se hace camino al andar,' which means 'Traveler, there is no path, the path is made by walking.' Learning a foreign language is a long-term endeavor that requires patience, dedication, and consistent effort. It is not an easy task to master a new language, and it can also be challenging to maintain fluency in a language we already speak. Regular practice is essential to express ourselves fluently and confidently in any language. Like training for a marathon, achieving fluency in a language takes time and systematic practice.
