Interest topicFilms & TV SeriesHistoryTravel
I love traveling, writing, reading, teaching and learning different languages, I choose this as a career because I love knowing different people around the world, they are not my students they are my friends I learn a lot of invaluable things with this kind of job, and at the same time I love my mother tongue and I'm always excited about sharing things about my own culture. In my free time, i love planning new trips, listening music, cooking something new or writing a post on my personal blog.
Me as a Teacher
My name is Lorena Castaño Alvarez im professional in Modern Languages (English, French and Italian), and an extra study in business translation, I love teaching and I have three years of experience teaching Spanish as professional in Whee Institute a school in my city Bogotá, I use to teach all the levels: A1, A2, B1, B2, and C1, with reading, exercises, speaking and different games (especially games!) for creating a dynamic environment.
My lessons & teaching style
I teach all the levels, but i have for each one a different methodology:
A1: In this part the most important thing is getting new vocabulary and learn the phonetics, in this level i teach basic sentence, personal presentation, how to ask for the address, present tense, progressive and reflexives.
A2: In this part we will start with the past tense, future, imperative, OD and OI.
B1: In this part we check the subjuntive and conditional. (Conversational class.
B2: Future subjuntive, perfect subjuntive (Conversational class).
C1: Conversational class and writting skils
These are the topics, you choose the kind of material you want to develop.

Lorena adjusted her schedule to accommodate mine, a very good benefit.
She was courteous and helpful. I am doing the long slog through the subjunctive which is very hard and seems to have a million rules and exceptions to rules. Lorena can explain all this in Spanish or English.
Five Star all the way.

Lorena always has interesting exercises to inspire conversation and teach vocabulary and grammar. She reinforces lessons with lots of practice so you can get a better understanding of the concepts you’ve learned.

I always enjoy talking to Lore. She speaks so clearly and her video and sound quality is perfect. She also is very patient and kind and tells really great stories. Looking forward to our next conversation. Thank you Lore!

Lorena is great! I am newly starting to study Spanish and was nervous about taking a lesson, but Lorena was so nice and patient, and provided great resources for me to study with outside of our lessons. I look forward to taking more lessons with her and gaining confidence in my speaking!
