What kind of class do I teach?
I provide 1-on-1 Online Conversational Spanish Tutoring sessions to increase your confidence speaking in Spanish. We focus on conversational flow so you can train your brain to think in Spanish and gain confidence session by session. While I can and will correct grammar, help with word choice, and explain concepts, the focus is having a conversation in Spanish like you will out in the world - but with less pressure. I'll make sure to guide you through the discomfort of doing something new and making mistakes - because you will, but that's okay and it's how you learn!
What will we talk about?
We'll start off with a conversation about your goals, your reason for learning Spanish, and any questions you have. Depending on why you're learning and your interests, we can practice travel situations, talk about material you're learning in a class, or discuss something that interests you - movies, food, music, history, culture, etc. If you're unsure, I will guide the conversation with questions to get you talking.
What kind of Spanish will I learn?
I'm a native of Spain, so I can teach Spanish specific to Spain if that's what you'd like to learn. However, having lived in Argentina for over a year and traveled widely in Latin America, I'm familiar with Latin American Spanish and can help you navigate regional differences specific to where you'd like to travel.
For example, did you know that nearly every Spanish speaking country has it's own way to say popcorn? Straw is another word that changes from country to country.
Who are the ideal students for this kind of class?
The ideal students are adults and motivated teens* with a low intermediate level of Spanish or higher. This kind of class is an excellent next step or addition to classes that may be more focused on grammar, writing, and reading. Practicing conversation is how that knowledge comes to life and transforms you from someone who understands Spanish songs when they come on the radio to someone who can swap stories with Spanish speakers.
(*I say motivated teens because I'm happy to work with high school students that are interested and ready to speak BUT they must want to learn how to speak. It's not school and there are no formal assignments, so students only get out what they put in. To be fair, that goes for adults too!)
