About Me
italki teacher since Jul 12, 2021InterestsMusicHistoryFilms & TV SeriesScienceTravel
As a certified language instructor from Mexico with a strong background in multilingual education, I specialize in teaching Spanish and English through structured, goal-oriented lessons. My approach emphasizes practical use of the language in real contexts, helping students develop communicative competence with clarity and consistency.
Lessons are adapted to students’ objectives within a defined learning framework and require active participation. This approach is best suited for learners who are committed to steady progress and value a professional, organized learning environment.Me as a Teacher
I have extensive experience in language teaching and translation, and I work best with students who are willing to engage actively in the learning process. My approach combines structured progression with adaptability, ensuring that each student’s goals are addressed within a clear and effective learning framework.
I value clarity, consistency, and mutual respect in the classroom, as these are essential for real progress. My lessons & teaching style
The first lesson is used to assess your needs and learning objectives, and to establish a clear working structure. From there, lessons follow an organized progression designed to build skills steadily and efficiently.
Between sessions, I provide materials and guidance to support continued practice. Lessons are interactive and require participation, as language learning is an active process. Students who commit to this approach typically see consistent and measurable improvement.My teaching material
