About Me
italki teacher since Jun 24, 2013Interest topicReadingArtFilms & TV Series
¡Hola! My name is Rocío (which, if you write it in lowercase "rocío", is a Spanish word for the droplets you can see in the morning on flowers and plants, I encourage you to use the word in your next poetic conversation in Spanish :)
I was born and live in Madrid, which is not an extremely beautiful city but it does have incredible blue skies and a certain joie de vivre in the air.
I am a curious person and I really love listening to stories: those of my friends, students, movies, novels, poems, paintings, songs... I hope to hear YOUR STORIES soon!Me as a Teacher
I would say that I am a very empathetic teacher because the most important thing in my classes is YOU. It is extremely important to create a classroom environment in which YOU feel comfortable learning and expressing YOUR personal universe in the new language. And for that, WE need to maintain motivation and commitment through personalized, captivating, and meaningful learning. Let's find TOGETHER the difficult balance between a class that is challenging without NEVER being a nightmare. I believe that learning a new language is a fascinating and almost magical journey ( so many dazzling Spanish-speaking countries!) and it would be my pleasure to share a stage of YOUR journey with YOU.My lessons & teaching style
Tell me what you like, what is relevant to you, how you learn, how you feel... and let's find a PERSONAL RECIPE to make the most of our time together. I think it would be good if we had a PLAN so you can know where you are going and measure your achievements. In class I would like us to USE TIME SMARTLY because there are many things you can learn without me but, as an experienced teacher, I think I can be useful to make you more aware of your mistakes, to help you flourish your communication skills, to explain difficult aspects of grammar, culture...If we manage to make 60 MINUTES OF CLASS FEEL LIKE 5 MINUTES in which we have learned and enjoyed, MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!My teaching material

Una lección de español con Rocío sigue siendo siempre una experiencia maravillosa. Siempre me sorprende cómo puedes comunicarte realmente, aunque no sea perfecto. Que funcione así es gracias a Rocío. Está realmente abierta a todo tipo de temas, discusiones y hechos. Su curiosidad y disposición para ayudarte es genial.

Rocío is the ultimate professional. She is kind, knowledgeable, and patient. I have had many classes with Rocio and we have been friends for a long time. She has had a major influence in the improvement of my Spanish and I treasure her friendship and professionalism. Great teacher!

Sorprendentemente, el festival de Eurovisión fue el primer tema. Pero también había mucho de qué hablar ;) Y tras la miseria de Gaza acabamos con el gran artista español Antonio López. Me da un poco de envidia porque puedes ir a ver a Antonio pintar otro en la Gran Vía de Madrid ;)
