About Me

Interest topicTravelFoodMedical & Healthcare
I love learning about different cultures and languages, traveling, and talking with people from different countries. From my experience, I understand the challenges of learning a language, and that is why I’m always looking for the best methods for my students, which I love to see as my friends as well.
Me as a Teacher
I have been a private tutor since 2017 and have developed my own teaching method based on activities that will make you think and encourage you to talk about different topics. In just a few weeks you will see great progress and become more confident speaking the language. I love to help my students improve in all the areas they want!
NOTE:
-At the moment, I'm only teaching adults.
-The English lessons are only conversational for levels B1+ (with occasional grammar theory if needed)
-The medical vocabulary lessons are only for English-speaking people wanting to learn Spanish (the activities consist of translating sentences and doing role-plays)
-I am super excited to meet you! :)
My lessons & teaching style
I adapt to the needs and preferences of the students, so we will work mainly on the areas you want to reinforce or the topics you want to learn, always focusing a lot on the speaking area.
I use slides to teach you the different tenses, prepositions, and grammar rules, which I send you at the end of the day, as well as the screenshots of our chats so you can study the words we learn in the lesson. If you want homework, text me, and I’ll happily send it.
-I strongly recommend using Zoom for our lessons!
-Book your lesson leaving some space in between to study because we do a lot every session
-Get ready to learn a lot about Latinoamerican culture and to be asked a lot about yours :)

I've been studying Spanish with Alejandra for almost 6 months and very happy with the experience and knowledge I received. Before I had a very basic knowledge of Spanish, only knew how to read and a few phrases. On the first class I was very surprised how she could target the level and after that she got the slides (training material) in no second and we started practicing.
The way our classes constructed is primarily speaking on various topics and having a little bit of a theory. She corrects me on my mistakes and I very like that. Anyway, these are the preferences and I believe can be adjusted.
Probably the most thing I like is how cool and fun she is driving a lesson and the conversation as it is very important when speaking in non-native language. And I truly admire her ability to throw tons of questions onto you when practicing some grammar topic - that's something.
Alejandra is also a great and interesting person so the sessions are fun and not boring. :)

Alejandra always remembers what we spoke about during previous lessons and integrates several verb tenses during our conversations and activities to keep me on my toes! I highly recommend Alejandra as an instructor!

Just got back from a trip to Costa Rica and Colombia! After studying with Alejandra for a few months now, it was very clear that my classes with her had paid off. Although I still have a lot to learn, i was much better with basic conversations and small talk with the people that I met. Alejandra’s conversational style of teaching is very practical and valuable for someone who likes to travel!

Excellent trial lesson completed with Alejandra, who provided good tips to improve in future. Very personable and patient with me when I was struggling for vocabulary. I will definitely be considering a block booking of additional lessons. Thank you!
