About Me

DUE TO A HIGH LEVEL OF CLASSES, I AM NOT CURRENTLY LOOKING FOR NEW STUDENTS AS I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GUARANTEE AVAILABILITY IN MY SCHEDULE.
Hello all! I was born in Belgium from Spanish parents, that’s is why I am a native speaker in both languages. I currently live in Spain, but I used to live in several countries : Belgium, France, the United Kingdom and the Philippines. I love to travel, especially long term so that I can really learn about the culture, customs and history of a country and its people. During my free time, I enjoy reading, learning languages, trekking and especially dancing. I learned Flamenco and ballet for many years.Me as a Teacher
I found out that I love teaching by chance. In 2015, in the Philippines, I was offered a position as a teacher. I accepted it without really knowing what to expect and whether I would like it. However, from the moment I enter the class, I knew that this was the path I had been looking for for years and that I would dedicate my professional career to teaching.
Since then, I have been working as a teacher in several private and public institutions and been taking many training courses for French and Spanish teachers as I strongly believe that a teacher should learn about all the available teaching methods, materials and technologies so as to offer the best quality to his/her students.My lessons & teaching style
I usually recommend students to start with a trial lesson in order to evaluate their levels and to share their hobbies, personal goals and expectations.
I believe that using a variety of teaching materials and methods make it more enjoyable for students to learn a language. Teaching books, videos, audios, texts, songs, games, Power Point presentations and news articles are some of the materials I use during my classes.
My classes are focused on the students’ needs and are tailor-made. Moreover, I make my students speak and practice as much as possible so that they get the most of their online learning experience.My teaching material

I had a very interesting lesson where I started learning legal terminology. I am happy Isabel also makes the lessons useful for my professional life! Merci beaucoup, Isabel !

I have had classes now in French and Spanish with Isabel and both are of exact same quality .... I never feel stressed or stupid in her classes, instead the time flies and by the end I’m in a great mood knowing I’m making real progress which ever language we do.

I take French and Spanish with Isabel and all my classes are really great. Isabel is truly impressive. Today was especially helpful because she showed me a useful way to sense the difference between the French /ou/ and /u/ which I have been struggling with. Merci, Isabel!

Isabel is the perfect teacher. She balances encouragement with challenges.
Isabel is kind, patient and encouraging, a truly lovely person.
She is very professional, timely and thorough. Her intelligence and creativity are evident as she designs lessons and homework that are fun, provides detailed feedback on homework, and deftly adapts lessons to include projects or questions that I bring to class.
