About Me

italki teacher since Aug 23, 2021

Hi, my name is Rose Mary. I am from Costa Rica and Spain. I am a biologist by profession, tour guide, and environmental educator. Later I trained as a yoga and meditation teacher. I've had the great opportunity to live in many countries (12 in total) and teach Spanish to people from different nationalities. This has taught me a lot about the different ways people enjoy learning languages. I have learnt to adapt my teaching methods to every student. Traveling to many countries has made me a very open-minded and friendly person who enjoys getting to know different people and cultures. I am also a nature lover. I love photography, painting and healthy cooking.

Me as a Teacher

I worked as a Spanish teacher with the Peace Corps program in Costa Rica for a few years. I have also worked for Spanish language schools in Uganda and Costa Rica. I am currently a private Spanish tutor.

My lessons & teaching style

You will learn in a quiet environment and you are allowed to make mistakes; this is part of learning a skill. You will learn always at your own pace. I will help you to improve in grammar, vocabulary, conversation and practice with dialogues. If you wish, I will give you homework for you to review what we learn in class. I am a very creative person and have many interests in life which make my classes very fun and varied! I look forward to meeting you :)

My objective is to practice casual conversation improving my confidence, vocabulary and grammatical skills and we did exactly that. She gave me time to think through the sentences I wanted to say, helping me with words and structure I didn’t know. It was perfect for me.

I like how she writes what she is correcting in the chat (conversation style lesson). She then refers back to the chat so you can work to remember it. She doesn’t say the answer outright (in the most patient and kind way). After you find it/remember it, she is super encouraging. It makes you think critically committing the words to memory. Good challenge!
