Beginner Level
🌟 This class is for students with NO prior experience with Spanish. I offer other levels in case your student has some Spanish background, contact me to get your assessment.**** In this 10 weeks class for beginners, students will learn the basics of the Spanish language. This class is for students with No previous experience with Spanish. We will practice the pronunciation as a group and then I will ask each student to repeat the vocabulary after me, giving each students individual attention and meeting their level. It will be a bilingual class English/Spanish. The material will be sent after class and includes a video with the vocabulary and grammar concept to help students practice the pronunciation and an exercise to practice the written part. If a student can't attend a class, the video will provide all the tools to practice the concepts and the pronunciation taught during each class, you can also contact the teacher to get a transfer to another session for the week or a 15 min private session. The activities and games will cover previous classes to keep practicing each week with lots of repetition. 📖 Class Structure: Each session begins with a brief review of the previous week's lesson to reinforce concepts and vocabulary. We then explore into new topics, covering grammar points, vocabulary expansion, and conversational practice. The class strikes a balance between structured lessons and interactive activities to keep the learners engaged and motivated. To make learning Spanish dynamic and fun, I incorporate various activities tailored to the needs of the learners. These activities include games, interactive quizzes and listening exercises to reinforce language skills. 💫Grammar and Vocabulary: The class focuses on building a solid foundation in Spanish grammar and vocabulary. We cover essential topics such as verb conjugations, sentence structure, noun-adjective agreement, and common idiomatic expressions. Regular practice exercises help consolidate learning and improve accuracy in speaking and writing. 🌟Since it is a Beginners class, students will be encourage to practice the pronunciation and create sentences using the vocabulary they know, that will help them gain confidence as they will begin to think and speak in Spanish rather than translating. 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. Students practice 6.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree from Universidad Jorge Tadeo Lozano
During my University years, I worked for a language company in Colombia (CIL), I was trained by the owner in a conversational teaching method to teach ESL and Spanish to foreigners. It was a great opportunity to learn hands on how to teach others to communicate in other languages, how to teach children both in English and Spanish and how to be a bridge of knowledge in every subject that I was Certified in. It was such a wonderful experience that I kept working for them for more than 8 years giving me vast training in handling English and Spanish classes, I now use that experience and the fact that I am a native Spanish speaker to share what I know with children and to help them cope with anxiety and stress through mindfulness.
Even though my mayor is in International Business, my passion is working with children and learning along the with them.
