Hi! I’m Jemima, from Montevideo, Uruguay. I teach with a clear and natural Rioplatense accent — the Spanish spoken in Uruguay and Argentina.
I live in Brazil with my family, and I pour my passion for communication and creativity into dynamic, engaging, and energetic classes.
If you want to learn Spanish in an enjoyable and effective way, focused on fluency and cultural connection, I invite you to live the language — and the Rioplatense culture — with me!Me as a Teacher
I believe that patience and good humor in class are essential, as well as an effective methodology that adapts to each student’s real needs.
My goal is for each student to enjoy the process and achieve their objective of speaking Spanish fluently and confidently.. My lessons & teaching style
The materials I use are very diverse: readings, games, videos, music, and interactive activities.
What interests me most is awakening curiosity and inspiring the desire to learn.
With beginner students, I use the TPRS method (Teaching Proficiency through Reading and Storytelling), which is based on learning through stories in a natural, motivating, and practical way.
I have my own Spanish materials with stories, specially created for beginner students.
With these materials, students can practice the four skills (listening comprehension, speaking, reading, and writing) naturally.
It’s a method that truly helps students make fast progress — and they love it!My teaching material
