💁🏻🧏🏿‍♂️ In our first lesson, we get to know each other. I want to learn where you're from, what you do, your experience with languages, and especially your goals.
🧪 Next, we may do a TEST LEVEL to determine yours and get a plan to teach you more.
📋 In principle, all my lessons have a basic structure:
1) Intro,
2) Content, and
3) Conclusion.

Regardless of the type of lesson, we usually do some warm-up activities, we recap what we did in previous lessons (or during the whole package), and we continue with more content. Finally, we'll always devote the last 5 or 10 minutes to writing a record and assigning you homework.

⚠️ REMEMBER that my lessons have different goals, so the actual content will vary!

Also...
💡 Suggestions are ESPECIALLY welcome! Please don't forget about this. This is YOUR space to learn, and your ideas matter.
❔ Please don't leave the lesson with questions!
🔎 I pay attention to all aspects of your performance, especially speaking, vocabulary, and grammar.

Last but not least...
❤️ Thank you for reading and considering me!

The goal of this lesson is to find the limits of your knowledge to teach you more.

This is the average structure of this lesson:
PART 1: ROUTINE. We start with a set of basic tasks like saying the date, the time, the weather, talking about the last few days and your plans for the weekend, playing a game, etc., all to warm up and to assure you practice on essential topics. The actual tasks will vary depending on what you need. Also to keep things interesting. Depending on your proficiency with these tasks, we can spend 3 to 20 minutes, but if that's the case, don't worry! Precisely, our goal is that, eventually, you'll get the hang of it and do the routine in no time.
PART 2: RECAP + CONTENT. Next, we remember what you did in previous lessons (or during the whole package), and we continue with more content.
PART 3: RECORD + HOMEWORK. Finally, we write a record for the lesson, and we decide on homework. In principle, we'll do this 10 minutes before the lesson ends so you get used to this, too, just like the routine.

Or, in a more colorful way:

📑 This lesson is based on Spanish for General Purposes (to talk to friends and relatives, to travel, to enjoy movies, etc.), but we can also learn Spanish gradually for Specific Purposes (to work, to attend higher education classes or vocational training, etc.).
🔎 Listening and speaking are what I focus on by default, but we can also work on reading and writing.
🧉 I teach River Plate Spanish, spoken in and around Buenos Aires, Argentina. However, I use and recommend materials from other teachers, not only because they're great and useful (and they put in the work to make them for us), but also for you to get used to different accents and backgrounds.

🔎 Listening and speaking are what I focus on by default, but we can also work on reading and writing.
🗣 I speak and teach (by default) American English, but I can teach you other accents, too. I will refer to other teachers from all over the world. As English is the most widely spoken international language, listening to as many different speakers as possible is important.

❤️⭐️ My favorite type of lesson! Here, naturally, we improvise more. We just talk about what's interesting to you and see where we go. Don't expect me to have a plan, unless we agree on that before the lesson.
📘🎴🔊 I will have my materials ready, though. We may have the opportunity to watch videos, read something, listen to a song, etc.
🔎 I will pay attention to all aspects of your performance as usual. Don't worry about that.

"This 120-hour TESOL/TEFL course covers all the skills needed to start teaching the English language. You’ll learn about the ESL industry, the content that goes into lessons, how to create engaging lesson plans, and the skills needed to manage your classes effectively. By the end of this course, you should have all the preparation needed to start a career overseas."

These correspond to my translation course of studies at FaHCE, UNLP.

"You’ll learn how online teaching works, what equipment you’ll need, what techniques to use, how to find students, and how to establish yourself as an independent private tutor."

"You’ll learn how young learners think, how they learn new languages, and how their minds develop through their early years. You’ll also learn powerful techniques for teaching them and useful tricks to help make lessons both fun and effective."

"In this 70-hour TEAL course we’ll cover the key concepts that you’ll need to understand, and the techniques that you’ll need to use if you wish to truly be a success with teaching adult learners."

My secondary studies consisted of three years of basic studies, plus three years of "focused studies" of my choice. I chose to focus on Art & Literature.

I distributed flyers with official local news in July 2017. Then, I started surveying people all around my district. As of February 2018, I worked in the Youth Area for a year. I helped carry out several projects, from a football tournament to CV-making talks for teenagers. I also volunteered to repair public places.

I am a freelance translator. I have translated mostly legal texts (birth, death, and marriage certificates, divorce judgments, contracts, education documents and diplomas, etc.), technical and scientific texts (in hard sciences, social sciences, and the humanities), and some literary texts (from different authors from English-speaking countries). Legal translation is my top specialty.
