Hi everyone!
I would like to share something about me.
I am originally from Huancayo, Peru. I started teaching Spanish (castellano) to people from different European and American countries who came to Perú to receive my lessons. Teaching Spanish helped me become aware of how “teaching a language” is not only teaching people how to talk in a second language but also understanding other culture. Because of that, I was well recommended by my ex-students in well recognized printed guide books for travelers such as Lonely Planet, and South American Handbook (Footprint Handbooks), among others.
There can sometimes be marked differences between language learned in a formal classroom setting, and the language needed to communicate successfully in the “real world.” I like combining academic language with lessons where I share other engaging aspects such as Peruvian Gastronomy as well as other diverse topics. That’s how I got involved in the teaching field, and after finishing my English studies I decided to start teaching English to students in Peru, as well.
My husband is British and I love the idea of visiting England someday and lerning more about its culture. I am sure that I am going to learn a lot from you, too.
I am excited about the possibility of contributing my skills and enthusiasm to your learning a new language. I look forward to the possibility of sharing not only knowledge but enjoying your learnig process.
I hope you read my post and contact me soon.
Let's start.
Katia
