About My Lessons

My Spanish lessons are designed to be engaging, interactive, and tailored to your individual learning goals. Whether you’re a beginner or looking to refine your fluency, I focus on creating a supportive and dynamic environment where you can feel confident practicing and improving your Spanish.

Format and Content:
Each lesson is structured to balance grammar, vocabulary, conversation, and cultural insights. I use a mix of materials, including interactive exercises, real-life scenarios, and multimedia resources like videos and articles, to make learning both fun and practical. For beginners, we’ll start with the basics, such as greetings, common phrases, and essential grammar. For more advanced learners, we’ll dive into complex topics, idiomatic expressions, and cultural nuances to deepen your understanding and fluency.

Lesson Dynamics:
I believe in a student-centered approach, where your interests and needs guide the lesson. We’ll have plenty of opportunities for conversation practice, as I find that speaking is the best way to build confidence and improve fluency. I also provide constructive feedback and tips to help you overcome challenges and track your progress.

My Experience:
As a native Spanish speaker with a C1 level in English and Dutch, I understand the challenges of learning a new language. My experience working in multicultural environments, such as my time as an AuPair and in customer service, has taught me how to communicate effectively and adapt to different learning styles. While I’m new to formal teaching, my passion for languages and my empathetic, patient approach make me a dedicated tutor who is committed to your success.

Let’s embark on this language-learning journey together, I can’t wait to help you achieve your goals!
