About Me
italki teacher since Mar 8, 2022Interest topicMusicGamingFood
Hi there! My name is Sonia and I am a passionate lover of languages and different cultures. As a consequence, I have a Degree in Modern Languages, Culture and Communication and I specialised in English and Japanese.
As I developed more interest in teaching, I studied for a Master's Degree in Teaching Spanish as a Foreign Language and a Master's Degree in Teaching Compulsory Secondary Education, Upper Secondary Education, Vocational Training and Language Teaching (English as an Additional Language Teacher). Being my professional profile very bound to teaching, I love learning new things and teaching what I know.
I am currently studying for the state examinations for being a teacher in Spain.Me as a Teacher
As a teacher, I have experience teaching not only Spanish but English in Spain and England, in both formal and non-formal education. For 3 years, I have worked in a private school in Manchester as a teaching assistant, focusing on the preparation of my students for the GCSE and A-Levels examinations. Although my main experience might be teaching teenagers, I have also taught adults both languages. In addition, I am currently working as an online Spanish teacher for refugees who live in Spain.My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are always personalised and adapted to the students' needs. In fact, I have full flexibility at the time of adjusting my accent to the student expectations. As I have taught from children to adults, I am used to designing materials and lessons according to their ages and expectations. Also, regardless of age, I always like having fun and entertaining lessons in which we can discuss culture and current topics with constant interaction.
I focus on communicative skills in my lessons, but I also value the importance of grammar and individual work.My teaching material

Sonia is a great teacher. She is very methodical, friendly, patient and flexible. I've been learning with her for a couple of months, and I feel much more comfortable with speaking Spanish. I couldn't recommend her highly enough

He estudiado un reflexivo difícil. Pensé que lo sabía bien, pero después de estudiarlo, fue difícil. Pero, Sonia me ha enseñado bien, así que ahora lo se completamente. Muchas gracias. Sonia :)
