About Me
italki teacher since Aug 11, 2017Interest topicReadingMusicTravel
Hola! My name is Laura and I am from Barcelona, Spain. I did my MA in London in order to become a certified language teacher and currently I am living in Berlin, Germany and I work as a professional Spanish teacher in a private school, in online platforms and at Instituto Cervantes Berlin.
In my free time I enjoy doing sport, travelling, socializing with friends, learning languages and reading. Some of my favorite topics are psychology, literature, current affairs, philosophy and mindfulness.Me as a Teacher
I am very communicative, dynamic and empathetic teacher. It is very gratifying for me to see how my students enjoy the journey of learning a new language and improve their language skills day by day. In my lessons I aim to create a relaxing space for you to learn, try the language you are learning, experience it, get feedback and clarifications from me and most important thing: have fun, see progress and keep motivated to keep on going! I will be your coach, creating a tailored learning plan for you. I also helped a lot of students to prepare and successfully pass their DELE exams, I am a official DELE examiner and grade the speaking part at Instituto Cervantes Berlin.My lessons & teaching style
My focus is communicative and task based. I work a lot on vocabulary and word combinations and I also present grammar structures in a simple, relevant way. I think each student is different and also their learning style, motivation, goals and interests. That is why I try to tailor as much as possible my lessons to your needs and interests. I aim to create a fun and relaxed space where you can feel free and calm to try and experiment the new language that you are learning. At the end of my lesson you will always get a relevant and positive feedback with new words learned, corrections and notes. I am looking forward to meeting you in my lesson! Hasta pronto :)My teaching material

It was my first group lesson and I enjoyed it a lot. Laura prepared a game that was perfect for my/our level and -- as always -- she gave excellent feedback and word lists after the class. I'm looking forward to the next opportunity for a group lesson!

Laura estuvo muy increíble y paciente . I was a little late and she taught on like nothing happened. We always speak as much as possible en español and she continues even when I can’t to help with comprehension. We are designing a game plan for mis lecciones futuros and I couldn’t be more excited.
