I will be happy to have a trial lesson with you so we get to know each other. This way you will know me a little better and I will get an idea of what you are looking for in your classes and we can plan ahead. 

Please, when you book a trial class briefly let me know what's your level and aims 😉

*Trial classes last 30 minutes as ruled by Italki.

The perfect course for those who have never dared into the lands of Spanish language or have just set off on their journey. Armed with the sword of self-confidence and me as your faithful squire, we'll beat the dragons that guard the doors of Learning Success and you'll become a member of the Argentinian Spanish Fellowship. Get on, this train is bound for glory! Let's learn and have a good time!

Now, a bit more seriously, this course is intended to give you, as a begginner, a clear understanding of basic aspects of Spanish and to provide you with relevant functions based on a communicative approach to language learning. What is a communicative approach? Well, it's basically not looking at language as a linguist but rather as a language user. You don't need to know how a car works in order to drive one, do you? 🤭

On this structured course, the goal is to get you confident and initiated in the lifelong and rewarding quest of learning a language. Hit me up if you are interested in reading the course syllabus and I'll send it to you via Italki.

Course completion will take roughly 20/25 class hours plus some out-of-class homework. In my experience in teaching beginner students, I feel it is best if you can keep a twice a week schedule for best results, but once also works well. It all depends on your availability, of course.

There is a 5 lessons package at a discount for this course and a a 90 minute class option in case you are feeling energetic. All package purchases include a zipped folder with resources you can explore on your own.

Please, message me in case I've left your question unanswered.
Thanks for reading 😊.
See you around!


CANCELLATION POLICY: as ruled per Italki if the class is cancelled with less than a 24 hour-notice by the student, it will not be rescheduled unless the absence was due to an emergency.

Language is a muscle: let's do some workout!

La idea de estas clases es doble: disfrutar de usar el idioma con naturalidad después de tanto esfuerzo puesto en aprenderlo y seguir mejorando tus habilidades. 

Podemos conversar de los temas que a vos te interesen o que yo proponga, o incluso, de lo que surja espontáneamente en nuestras clases, como en la "vida real". En el tiempo que llevo en Italki tuve conversaciones buenísimas que surgieron así con muchxs estudiantes. Me encanta conocer e intercambiar puntos de vista y vivencias. Conocer tu historia o hablar sobre tu ciudad, tus intereses... sobre tu vida y la mía. También me gusta conversar acerca de música, pizzas y literatura. 

¡Gracias por tu interés!
Nos vemos,

I'm putting this idea I've come up with after my time on Italki to the test. It's super simple, yet (or thus) engaging. At least on paper 😄.

It's based on the assumption that some students don't want to talk randomly and feel more comfortable when they have something in particular to discuss. I'll do my part, and you'll do yours, ¿de acuerdo?

The minute you sign up for these conversation classes, you'll get a .rar (compressed) folder sent to you which contains a fine selection of websites with articles to read, YT channels to explore or podcasts to listen to.

For every class, you make a choice (or several, the more the merrier!) and when we meet, we base our class on your pick. We'll go through it and explore it (vocabulary, grammar, topic, etc.) together. Además, voy a sugerirte diferentes formas de aprovechar el material al máximo.

Hope you like the idea.
¡Nos vemos!

Español à la carte 🍴| Conversation - dealing with real life input

Are you a tourist planning a visit to BA, an expat based in BA struggling with the accent or a big fan of the Argentinian Capital?

In any case, if you have some 'Argentinity' in your DNA that you would like to expand on, I can screen-show you around the city with authentic tourist information videos and articles, plus my own experience as a local.

Let's learn Spanish while also absorbing some cool facts about this fantastic city. The food, hoods, words, sights, bands and artists, and customs of the 'porteños'. It will all be part of the experience.

Want to try it? See you inside!

For more advanced students, this is the advanced Argentinian Spanish proposal:
¿Qué es lo que hace al español rioplatense una variedad dialectal diferente de las muchas otras existentes?

Curso de iniciación al español rioplatense. Orientado a aquellos estudiantes que tengan especial interés en comprender qué caracteriza a esta variante del español.  Voseo, vocabulario, modismos, expresiones, cultura.

Vamos a profundizar en aspectos puntuales del español que se habla en Argentina, especialmente en Buenos Aires y alrededores (español rioplatense). Gramática, pronunciación y vocabulario. En estas clases comentamos las particularidades de esta variante del español y estudiamos su utilización en diferentes contextos.

Escribime por cualquier consulta que tengas.
Gracias,
¡Nos vemos!

Welly, welly, well.  It looks like there's a frog to be kissed. Am I right? 

Exam preparation may not sound as attractive as a good old laid back conversation, but I know there many students motivated by the goal of reaching a specific CEFR level. And I can help you succeed in achieving the goal, too.

Succeeding in an exam involves not just learning the language but mastering the exam itself. Preparing for DELE involves knowing the exam so well that when the day comes you feel confident in your skills to perform at your best.

In these sessions, we focus on the specific grammar points and vocabulary that correspond to your target CEFR level. We'll also dedicate time to honing your oral and writing skills to ensure you're well-rounded in your language abilities.

I'll provide you with exam models, but in order to prepare for your DELE efficiently most probably you'll need to purchase a book that includes practice exercises and guidance.

Please keep in mind that achieving success in your DELE exam is a collaborative effort. While I'm here to guide and support you, it's essential that you also put in the necessary effort. Also, it's important that you acknowledge it's often a mid to long-term goal.

Please note I offer exam coaching to students sitting for B1 onwards. For lower levels, head on to "Venture Out Beginners' course", designed to help you build a strong foundation before diving into exam-specific content. 

So, if you're looking to make the most of your exam preparation and elevate your Spanish language skills, I'll be waiting for you.

Thanks!

Is anyone else joining you on this quest? Might someone else be interested?  Maybe yes. Let's form a band together! I created this type of classes for Students who are setting off in company of other fellow explorers. We apply the famous 'all for one, and one for all' approach in these classes. The price is more affordable and it's a 'flat rate' for any number of Students (2, 3 or 4). 

Drop me a message if you have any questions, okay?

Let there be light!

I made this training course in one of Buenos Aires' best language schools. It was designed to give ELE teachers a comprehensive background into language teaching. We got practice straight away with foreign students and the experience was both valuable and useful in terms of the knowledge they shared and advice and suggestions given.

I sat for CAE (Certificate in Advanced English) in 2006, passing with an A

Trinity College Certificate are aimed at communicative English language speaking and listening skills for use in real life. I passed level 12 (mapped C2 CEFR) with merit.

During 2017 and the first part of 2018 I completed a training course on Neuropsychoeducation, that is, Neuroscience applied to learning. It was an eye opening insight into how we react to new experiences and how we process information. Ever since then, I've applied the knowledge acquired to my language teaching.

I graduated as a lawyer from University of Buenos Aires, one of the country's most prestigious public universities, in 2011. Upon graduation I worked as an attorney for some years but I'm currently not doing any law-related work, except those involving language teaching. I have regular classes and courses with foreign law students or people related to the 'legal world'.

Formerly a student in my school days, until I moved in to Córdoba I was an English teacher here. I used to have regular courses of students aged 9-18 and I'd tutor the older ones to sit for FCE exams. I also teach adults, tailoring my classes to fit their needs. I have a great time switching to my "English self" for a few hour every day. 
Since we've moved to Córdoba, my courses have stayed virtual.

I decided I wanted to teach Spanish after living for 6 months in Brazil. While living there I had the chance to teach Spanish to hotel staff and felt it was exactly what I wanted to do wherever I was. Once I was properly trained, we included Spanish as a Foreign Language as part of the course offers. We've had students coming to study, but most of all, over the Internet, and well before the pandemic hit!
