About Me
italki teacher since Oct 5, 2021
Interest topicTravelFoodHealth
I am a corporate communicator, a language teacher, and a medical interpreter. I love to know new cultures and learn languages; I speak Spanish and English natively, have a good level of Portuguese, and I’m currently learning German. I love to travel and talk with people from different countries; I can't explain it, but I've always had this connection to foreigners that makes me passionate about learning more about their culture. 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 converse on different topics. In just a few weeks you will feel incredible 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 have now had a number of lessons with Alejandra and she is a fantastic teacher. She has a wonderful teaching method and works out very quickly the way you learn and tailors the lessons to it. She is both funny and incredibly patient. My Spanish has really improved under her tutoring and I can wholly recommend her to anyone. Look no further for a great teacher.

Alejandra is amazing! Her mix of questions that prompt me to use different tenses and instruction help me a lot. I’ve learned more with Alejandra than in various college-level Spanish classes!

What a great first experience with iTalkie! I really enjoyed Alejandra's style - friendly, structured and gently corrected/helped with proper grammar, vocabulary and sentence structure. I highly recommend learning with her.

Alejandra challenges me each week and with each passing week my confidence continues to build through lessons along with homework.
