About Me
italki teacher since Jun 24, 2013Interest topicEnvironment & NatureFoodTravelPets & AnimalsMusic
Hey everyone, I am Lina from Bogotá, Colombia. I'm a lawyer and I'm currently studying a master's degree in teaching Spanish., I like travelling, nature and animals, biking, I am passionate about languages and music, music has been so important in my learning process. Music has always played an important role in learning and culture. It is a fact that the execution of musical instruments, and even singing, help to develop language, memory and attention skills, in the music you can perceive the structures, the tonalities, notes of a musical phrase and the harmony. The process is the same with a foreign language: the language is composed of words formed from sounds.Me as a Teacher
I have 7 years of experience teaching,I have experience with people of all ages and all levels . I'm very happy to help you improve your language skills and make the class more practical and fun,we will work on your communication skills concerning reading, speaking and writing. if you want to have a class according to your needs, feel comfortable and natural when you are speaking a second language and have fun, please do not hesitate to contact me :)My lessons & teaching style
as a student of foreign languages I know how difficult it is to learn a new language, so I can be in your shoes, I like to teach in the same way I would like to be taught. I like to make a customized learning program according to the needs of each student, for this purpose, I use many tools such as exercises, texts, books, videos, music etc. of course, without leaving the conversation practice aside, because I'm sure practice makes you a much better speaker and I say this from experience. I try to make the class more didactic and entertaining to make students feel comfortable and confident to speak Spanish.My teaching material

Lina really checks all the boxes of a perfect language instructor. I tried so many instructors & when I finally found Lina I felt like I struck gold.
Her lessons are both structured & conversational, so I am learning very quickly & efficiently. She prioritizes Spanish throughout her lessons, but her english is so good (probably better than mine) that any time I need further explanation of anything, she easily jumps over to english so I can better understand. I'm very impressed with how her teaching style allows me to retain what we covered & improve week over week.
She's also so fun to talk to - She's really funny & she always has a big smile. I really look forward to my lessons each week.

Lina is so friendly and very patient. I was so nervous as I had never spoken in Spanish. But she made me feel so much better.

Lina is such a delightful person. I learn a lot and get to practice, but more importantly, I always truly enjoy my lessons.

Lina is a great teacher. She types new vocabulary words into the chat, uses visual examples, and discusses what you'd like to improve.
