Mi nombre es Catrina y soy de los Estados Unidos. Tengo 6+ años de experiencia como profesora de inglés. Soy paciente y tranquila, pero también me gusta debatir en mis clases. Me encanta viajar, practicar senderismo, ver películas y probar comidas diferentes! No dudes en ponerte en contacto conmigo y reservar una clase de prueba. Espero vernos pronto! Un saludo.
Me as a Teacher
I base my classes mostly on conversation. As a language learner myself, I know that the most important way to gain fluency is through speaking with and listening to a native speaker. I like to make my classes interesting but balanced by giving the student a chance to speak the majority of the class as well as listen to my pronunciation and vocabulary.
Mis clases se basan mayormente en conversación. Como aprendiz de idiomas, sé que la forma más importante de adquirir fluidez es hablar y escuchar a un hablante nativo. Trato de que mis clases sean amenas y entretenidas, dándole al alumno la oportunidad de hablar la mayor parte de la clase y también escuchar mi pronunciación y vocabulario.
My lessons & teaching style
For each lesson, we will begin with a short chat, followed by the day's topic or activity. To finish the class, we will go over corrections or suggestions on how to practice and continue on the language learning journey.
Topics can be chosen by myself beforehand, or we can decide together in class what to talk about for those students who want more of an informal conversation practice.
En cada lección, comenzaremos con una breve conversación, seguida del tema o actividad del día. Para finalizar la clase, repasaremos correcciones o sugerencias sobre cómo practicar y continuar aprendiendo.
Puedo elegir yo los temas con antelación, o podemos decidir juntos durante la clase de qué hablar.

Ella es una persona muy amable, te guía en la conversación. Ella sabe mucho español y traduce instantáneamente alguna palabra o frase que necesites.
En inglés relacional ella es espectacular.
