Hi!! Welcome to my full-of-great-teaching-ideas classroom!!
My name is Ximena and I´m a Certified Spanish for Foreigners Professional Teacher from the Rey Juan Carlos University of Spain.
I've been teaching Spanish for more than 21 years now, to students from all around the world, both online and offline, in groups and private 1-on-1 lessons.
Throughout my teaching career I've developed my own teaching methods and resources to help speed up the learning process and give the student an enhanced experience while learning.
Me as a Teacher
I have been teaching for 21 years now. I started teaching English at several language schools in Argentina, then I began teaching music in music schools and academies and now I also teach Spanish as a foreign language. I´ve always had "a thing" for teaching, this is what I´ve been doing since pretty much always so I really enjoy it. I love my students and I learn from then everyday, I can´t imagine myself doing something else... I have a University degree in Music teaching, a TEFL degree and a certificate of Spanish language teaching (ELE).
Hope to see you in my lessons!My lessons & teaching style
I strongly believe that having a methodology and being systematic are essential characteristics when it comes to learning or teaching a language. Prior to your lesson, you are going to receive a file (a pdf, mp3, a video, a link to an article, ppt presentation etc...) related to the topic we are studying. Every lesson will have different sections: vocabulary, grammar, verbs and their conjugation, a text according to your level and exercises to practice at home. It´s very important for you to review what we have studied, since in every new lesson, we make a revision of what we learnt in the previous one.My teaching material

If I was the teacher, I would have given up on me already haha! Ximena is very patient. I can say that I know much more Spanish than I did when I first started back in September, and reading comprehension is easier for me than listening/conversation. Another good lesson. The hour is up so quickly!

Ximena is a kind, encouraging, thorough, and thoughtful teacher. For example, she asked me which Spanish speaking regions are my focus. Good question, because for me it is Columbia, Dominican Republic, and Mexico. She really wants to make sure that your lessons are focused on your needs.
