CONVERSACIÓN INFORMAL

First and foremost, I would like to establish that I am a great believer in STUDENT-CENTERED LEARNING with minimal teacher talking, so expect that in all of my speaking lessons, you will be doing most of the speaking and I will be just basically giving cues and feedback.

EXAMPLES OF A SPEAKING CLASS:

1- TOPIC BASED SPEAKING CLASS
By means of a presentation, the student will learn useful vocabulary (words, phrases, phrasal verbs, etc) for the topic at hand.  After that, we will use different techniques to encourage the student to express his ideas regarding this topic. For instance, statements to agree or disagree with, questionnaires or pictures.

2- FREE SPEAKING
Sometimes students prefer to go with the flow and have a less structured class where we just go where the conversation takes us. 

3 - Speaking Class based on an article or a video. We will be using a Powerpoint presentation with questions about the video. We will look at some useful language and make sure the student understands and can use the vocabulary.

SPEAKING PRACTICE

I'll teach you tips and tricks to guide you towards better pronunciation. 

As a Spanish speaker who had to learn the sounds myself, I can use my experience to help you produce the new sounds. 

In this type of class, apart from the phonemes, you can expect to learn about connected speech, silent letters, intonation and other features of pronunciation.

LEARN THE ENGLISH SOUNDS (FOR SPANISH SPEAKERS)

These classes are designed for beginners or elementary Spanish students who need explanations in English. We will begin by learning the basics and start using Spanish in a controlled safe environment while building up confidence towards fluent speaking.
