Class Experience

In this Ongoing class for beginners, students will learn the basics of the Spanish language slow, simple, easy and fun. This class is for students with experience with Spanish. We will practice the pronunciation as a group and then I will ask each student to repeat the word after me, giving the students individual attention and meeting their level. It will be a bilingual class English/Spanish.
Each week there will be a different set of words and sentences, that will help them create conversations with their classmates encouraging them to build confidence as they speak.

*****CLASS RECORDING POLICY : I do not share recordings of my group classes in order to protect the privacy of all learners  (many parents do not feel comfortable with other families having access to videos that include their child). Please contact the teacher to arrange a make up session or a video with the class content for the missing day.

Since it is a Beginners class, students will be encouraged to practice the pronunciation and create sentences using the vocabulary they know, which will help them gain confidence as they will begin to think and speak in Spanish rather than simply translate.
The routine of the class will be as follow: 
1. Greetings
2. Review of vocabulary
3. Introduction of new vocabulary and repetition
4. Introduction of the grammar structure
5. Student practice
6. Game/ Activity

🌟This is a private class, there is a different curriculum depending on the level of the students🌟




There will be games and activities to complement each lesson, with lots of repetition.
**During the last 5 to 10 minutes of class, students will review the vocabulary using interactive games from:"Blooket" and "Educaplay". Students Do Not need to create any accounts. Students need Parental Permission to access Blooket.com/play and game.educaplay.com and use a Game ID that I will provide, or to use the link that I will provide in the chat. 

***All material will be presented via Canva and screen shared by the teacher. The PDFs will also be screen shared by the teacher so they can be completed as an oral and written exercise.

Profile

Teacher expertise and credentials

Bachelor's Degree from Universidad Jorge Tadeo Lozano

During my years at the university, I had the opportunity of being employed by a well known language company in Colombia CIL. Under the guidance of the institute's owner, I received specialized training in a conversational teaching methodology designed to effectively instruct ESL (English as a Second Language) and Spanish to non-native speakers. This experience provided me with invaluable hands-on learning opportunities, allowing me to develop the skills necessary to teach individuals to communicate proficiently in different languages. Additionally, I gained experience in educating children in both English and Spanish and I continue updating my instruction with several workshops and certifications from ELE INTERNACIONAL, that help me learn new tools for teaching.

The time I spent working at CIL was truly remarkable, and it influenced my decision to continue working with them for more than eight years. This provided me extensive training in handling English and Spanish classes, further enhancing my teaching abilities. Today, I use my experience and native fluency in Spanish to share my knowledge with children, helping them learn in a fun and easy way. Moreover, I am deeply committed to supporting their emotional well-being and assisting them in coping with anxiety and stress through the practice of mindfulness.

Although my primary field of study is International Business, my passion lies in working with children and embarking on a journey of shared learning with them. Their innate curiosity and unwavering enthusiasm inspire me to continually expand my knowledge and refine my teaching approach. By combining my academic background with my dedication to fostering the growth of children, I aim to create a nurturing environment where they can thrive and reach their full potential.
