My name is Elena. I am a native Spanish speaker from Peru. I enjoy painting, dancing and going for walks. I am interested in learning about cross-cultural management in order to understand better other cultures. I have learned English, German, French, and I am currently learning Russian. It will be my pleasure to help you practice Spanish. :)

Me as a Teacher
I like the one-on-one interaction for learning purposes because I find it less stressful, especially to practice and improve the oral skills. As a teacher, I can focus exactly on what the student wants and needs. Meanwhile, the student gets more talk time, and has a say on how the lesson is conducted. I have a bachelor's degree in translation and a Master's degree in Applied Linguistics to teach Spanish as a foreign language. I can provide education as well as work certificates on demand. | Notice: I don't offer lessons for children or teens.
My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are conducted like a conversation. The student may suggest the topic or we can talk spontaneously. If necessary, I will use texts, images or other resources for inspiration. There will be many questions from my part, as I intend to maximize the student's talk time. I will also answer the student's questions, provide feedback, and corrections either verbally or in writing (via chat or Google Docs).
So far I have helped my students keep their level of proficiency by regular practice, prepare for job interviews, improve their writing skills, improve their use of grammar, and develop strategies and confidence to work and communicate in Spanish-speaking environments.

I decide what I want to work on and the lessons are usually a variety of stories, discussions and grammar. Elena is an excellent teacher and writes very good notes for me to review after the class.

I was only interested in having a conversation to my teacher and while we talked, she gave me feedback on my use of Spanish. She provided notes for me to review afterwards. A very successful and enjoyable lesson.
