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

Leonardo hat sich mir als sehr freundlicher, gut gelaunter und motivierender Lehrer gezeigt. Die halbe Probestunde war sehr kurzweilig und ich habe in der kurzen Zeit viel gelernt und viel Spaß gehabt.

Class was interactive and structured which was helpful, but would have liked to focus more centrally on a particular topic (ser/estar in the past). There were several technical issues with the web exercises which took time and were frustrating.
