About Me
italki teacher since Oct 5, 2018InterestsLegal ServicesHistoryWritingArtReading
IMPORTANTE: Yo solo enseño a personas a partir de 16 años, por favor no insistir. 👀
IMPORTANT: I only teach people from 16 years old, please do not insist. 👀
I am a Peruvian and an architect, but I have worked as a Spanish tutor for a long time. I like many things, like art, literature, and cinema. In all this time, I have developed skills to support you in grammatic, spelling, and pronunciation to improve your fluency in Spanish.
You choose how you want to run the class, and I will find the best method for you. I adapt to the needs of my students.
During our classes you will not feel like you are talking to a teacher, you will feel like you are talking to a friend.Me as a Teacher
In all this time, I have seen the good progress of my students. My goal as a Spanish tutor is that you have the confidence to talk to me and forget that you are learning a new language. My classes are very flexible and adjust to the interests of my students. I also like to converse about different topics. We can learn a lot while we talk. But, the most important thing is that you trust your language skills, never forget that!
I like to use digital tools in my grammar classes with my students. My favorite tool is Google Docs, but you can also propose another tool.
In our classes, we will advance a lot according to your objectives.My lessons & teaching style
I have two types of classes. En mis clases de “Conversaciones Casuales” hablaremos de diferentes temas. Estas sesiones son ideales para las personas que tienen un nivel intermedio o avanzado y desean practicar su conversación. En estas sesiones sentirás que estás hablando con una amiga y te olvidarás que estás practicando un idioma diferente.
The "Strengthen your Spanish!" are ideal for people who have a basic level or want to reinforce grammar. In these classes, the conversation will continue to be very important.
I use Skype, Hangouts, and Zoom for my classes. But, if you have any other program to proposing it is welcome.My teaching material

I’ve been working with Betina for a couple of years and have noticed my Spanish improving and stretching beyond what I learned in college. She’s especially good at working on my pronunciation and reading fluency. I’ve recommended her to friends and colleagues
