About Me
italki teacher since Jul 24, 2018Interest topicEnvironment & NatureScienceFilms & TV SeriesMusic
My schedule is also ON DEMAND, so you can ask me for a specific slot (without compromises!) and I'll try to open it for you.
▪️ I have 👨🏽🏫 teaching diplomas from World TESOL Academy. Click here: https://bit.ly/42Ee9Ys.
▪️ I'm doing a 🌐 translation degree at FaHCE, UNLP, in La Plata, Argentina. Click here: https://bit.ly/3Vo0dhy (22/30 subjects done!)
▪️ I'm passionate about language 👨🏽💻, languages 💬🧏 and linguistics 📚.
More about me:
▪️ I love music and watching videos;
▪️ I'm very keen on yoga;
▪️ I love spending time with my friends, family, and boyfriend;
▪️ and I love traveling! ✈️Me as a Teacher
▪️ I can teach both kids 👧🏽 and adults 🧔🏻, from beginners to advanced students, both in-place and online.
▪️ "Educate" means pretty much "to take or guide someone OUT and FURTHER." Think of education as an infinite field, where you see the endless horizon 🛣. Educators' role is to get you OUT of where you are now and get you going in the direction of that horizon, because you can ALWAYS go further. You can always LEARN MORE. There's no finish line.
▪️ I believe BOTH the teacher AND the student teach and learn from each other (ie. push each other further) at the same time. While I may know quite a lot about grammar, your knowledge and experience can be just as enriching, if not more so.My lessons & teaching style
▪️ Please see the lesson descriptions for more details. In sum, though, most of my lessons have been conversational 💁🏻🧏🏿♂️ and spontaneous, while others have been more structured 📑. In either case, I want my lessons to be student-centered, and I hope that you can help me provide content and some structure to the lesson, too. We'll prioritize your interests and learning styles (visual, auditory, etc.) and, even if we devote time to exploring grammar and discussing very abstract topics, we'll keep an eye on contextualizing what we do and finding practical applications for it.My teaching material

Really enjoyed this first lesson with Tomás! I'm really insecure and anxious, but he did a great job at offering a comfortable space for me to express myself with the Spanish I already have. It was a well-structured lesson and I felt supported by his comments and material in each and every minute. ¡Muchas gracias, Tomás!

Tomas is a nice and considerate teacher. The enjoyment of taking his classes goes beyond language learing and what impresses me more is his insightful opinions on multiple deep topics we discussed, such as education, gender issues, political problems and self-image. It is always fun to exchange ideas with him. Thanks Tomas ans all the best.
