As a language student myself, I understand how difficult to learn a language can be. Learning can be structured AND fun: my goal is to boost your confidence and give you the tools to communicate in Spanish.
Given my communications background, I mainly focus in speaking. I also offer a solid grammar program, but always oriented to practical situations in life. For classes, my teaching style is based in the PPP method (Presentation, Practice, Production) - a Communication Language Teaching approach.
My areas of expertise:
✔️ Conversational Spanish
✔️ Spanish for Beginners

Dina is a fantastic teacher. We have just completed our sixth lesson with her and she is always well prepared, engaging and makes the sessions so enjoyable. Dina has taken on teaching my husband and I (in our 40's) alongside our 2 children (aged 10 and 12). We are all beginner and we cannot believe how fun the lessons are or how much we are learning - thank you Dina!

Dina uses the most creative learning tools for our lessons. She figures out different ways to make learning new concepts fun through games and helps assign me homework so I can continue studying throughout the week. Her presentations are well organized and helpful in reinforcing concepts. We spend speaking, listening, and watching
Spanish videos so I can practice absorbing Spanish through multiple pathways.

Thank you Dina for supporting my Spanish journey for the whole time! Through her classes, I feel that I get more confident in talking. She is really flexible and gives regularly homework and it helps me to improve my Spanish outside my lessons.
