¡Hola! I’m Ruth, an Argentine-Spanish teacher with 25 years immersed in Brazilian culture—fluent in Spanish, Portuguese, and English. As a certified DELE/SIELE exam coach and pedagogy graduate, I specialize in the *Direct Method*: helping adults and kids *acquire* Spanish naturally, like their first language. Whether you’re prepping for exams or craving fluency, let’s turn words into confidence—starting Day 1!Me as a Teacher
I have been working since 2008 as Spanish and Portuguese teacher/translator in several companies, including multinationals, language schools and preparing students for the SIELE and DELE exams with the Instituto Cervantes. My lessons & teaching style
My classes use the DIRECT APPROACH, (where the student acquires fluency in a second language in 1/4 of the time) because I teach the student to ACQUIRE the language instead of learning it, just as he once acquired his mother tongue, naturally, unconsciously and spontaneously. That's why my classes are all designed with Power Point animations where the student will see, listen, understand, repeat, answer questions... That is, he will speak Spanish from the first minute of the class and in the first? he will already know more than 100 new words.
He can also have access to all the audios of the classes, to download them on his cell phone and the texts of readings and dictations.My teaching material

Just had my first lesson with Ruth. Really enjoyed Ruth’s teaching style. Using lots of visual aids we covered a lot of ground and I learned 101 new words! It was great fun and I’m looking forward to my next one!

When I say amazing, it is super amazing! 🌟
I still remember the days I tried so hard to memorize all the be forms and pronouns… I really almost give up. But Miss Ruth not just teaches Spanish but help me to use it like my mother tongue 😭
然后给每一个中国学生，我强烈建议你们一定要跟老师学习哦，这是一种全新的学习方式！
