I am very good at explaining concepts in a clear and simple didactic way, ensuring that all my students have a good understanding of the topics. I focus on creating a relaxed and participative learning environment where students feel comfortable practicing the language.

I have an advanced command of the Spanish language in terms of grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation and different varieties of Spanish. I possess strong communication and teaching skills to effectively convey knowledge, as well as patience and ability to adapt to the individual level and learning style of each student. I have some knowledge of language teaching methodologies, such as the communicative approach, and I prepare dynamic classes using a variety of materials and techniques. I like creativity, initiative to motivate and involve students. I am responsible and committed to students' learning objectives and results, and I enjoy continuously updating their knowledge through continuous training.

I use diverse materials and activities that keep my students interested, such as games, songs, movies and debates. In addition to teaching grammar and vocabulary, I am interested in promoting the development of students' communication skills, so that they can use use use Spanish fluently in real life.

Some of the topics I consider in my classes are: Culture and customs of Spanish-speaking countries: food, popular holidays, traditions, music, etc. Students enjoy learning about other cultures.
Current events and news: talking about topics of global interest helps motivate students and gives them context to practice vocabulary.
