About Me
italki teacher since Oct 27, 2021
My name is Lourdes. I am from Málaga, south Spain, but I have been living in London for the last 8 years. I have been tutoring English and Spanish for 2 years. I studied a degree in Spanish translation with French. While studying my degree I also worked as a tutor online, with students from different backgrounds. People from the UK who wanted to learn Spanish but also people in Spain and south America who wanted to learn English.
I love travelling, as I love to meet new people from different cultures learning about their language, their food, etc. Besides, I like to ride my bike, spending time with my friends and read books, mostly thrillers.
Me as a Teacher
I am a very positive person, always encouraging my students to do their best. I love my job to the point that I feel my student´s achievements as my own. If I can contribute to a positive impact in their future, then I feel l am doing a great job.
For me learning a new language is all about speaking and practising. You can study as much grammar and vocabulary as you want, but if you don't practice the conversations part, then it is useless. Besides, learning another language will open your mind, you will discover many idioms, figurative language, and ways to say what or how you feel that does not even exist in your own language.
My lessons & teaching style
Currently, as I finished my degree, I teach online and traditional lessons one-to-one. My lessons are based on active learning, learning through conversations. The conversations are about different subjects, depending on your level, which allows you to improve your pronunciation, vocabulary knowledge and enable you to feel more confident with the language. Each lesson it's about a different subject, from family, food or interests to mental health, relationships.
My goal is that you learn and enjoy our lessons together without any pressure. Learning from each other and sharing experiences while you accomplish your goals!

Lourdes is very structured/objective based, yet highly adaptable approach to teaching which has been extremely effective. i enjoy working with her and improving well building good vocabulary and understanding the Spanish grammer.
she is super patient and supports me as i am not the most confident language learner. she takes this into account and pushes my limits.
I'd say she us capable of teaching Spanish to any level/objective whether the aim us basic communication or fluency.
highly recommended!
