About Me
italki teacher since Dec 11, 2018InterestsMusicFilms & TV SeriesGaming
In addition to languages, I also love music, literature and cinema. I have a bachelor's degree in music.Me as a Teacher
I have a master's degree in Applied Linguistics with emphasis in Spanish as a Foreign Language, a master's degree in Intercultural Communication and 7 years of experience in language teaching. The languages I speak and teach are: Spanish, English, French and German. My lessons & teaching style
My methodology is based on the communicative approach. I see languages as a means to do something, a means to achieve something. Because of that, it's a priority in my courses to know what exactly the learner wants to achieve with the target language. Do they need it for work? for tourism? to read literature? to communicate with specific people? However, my methodology is open to both modern and traditional techniques, because I have found that almost everything can be useful depending on the context.My teaching material

es war eine Probestunde, daher haben wir ein bisschen improvisiert. Alles sehr gut, ruhig und kompetent durchgeführt.
