****This class is for students that know the basics and want to continue learning. If your students does not know any Spanish you can check out my class for "Spanish for Beginners, Learn the Basics, Introduction Class" **** CEFR A1 Level: ⊛ Student can understand and use everyday expressions and very basic phrases. ⊛ Student can introduce him/herself and can ask and answer questions such as where he/she lives, people they know and things they have. ⊛ Student can interact in a simple way provided the other person talks slowly and clearly and is prepared to help. ⊛ Student can recognize familiar words and very basic phrases concerning yourself, your family and immediate concrete surroundings when people speak slowly and clearly. ⊛ Student can understand familiar names, words and very simple sentences, for example on notices and posters or in catalogues. 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. Game/ Activity *****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 and many students feel uncomfortable having others watch how they make mistakes). If your student misses a class, upon request, I will send you a video with the vocabulary and the grammar or offer a make up class, as I want to make sure students have the correct pronunciation and understand the concepts. **During the last 5 to 10 minutes of class, students will review the vocabulary using interactive games from a website called "Blooket", Educaplay or Wiser.me. Students Do Not need to create an account, just a parent permission to use a Game ID that I will screen share, or use the link that I will provide in the chat. **Homework will be send after every class along with a video that contain vocabulary and the grammar structure practiced in the session. This class will be using Wizer.me and students should create an account using only their name and a password. This app will give the corrections automatically after students submit their work.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree from Universidad Jorge Tadeo Lozano
During my College 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.
