About Me
italki teacher since Aug 18, 2021Interest topicReadingTravelWriting
Hi everyone! My name is Catalina and I's like to give you a warm welcome to my profile.Me as a Teacher
I am a certified teacher by International House (Argentina, 2009) and hold a University Expert Diploma by UNED (Spain, 2021) in Spanish as a Second Language. Furthermore I have a Degree in Literature and Linguistics by University of Buenos Aires.
I have been teaching Spanish online to students of different nationalities for more than six years, developing my own material and exploring the different possibilities technology can offer. I love the art and craft of being a teacher.
As a storyteller, I have travelled many countries studying and offering workshops and shows. Thus, I've had the possibility of experiencing the different Spanish varieties that make the beauty of this language.My lessons & teaching style
My experience as a storyteller has allowed me to approach language in a creative way, learning a great deal about the ways in which people listen and maintain attention – something very important during a lesson! My academic training and teaching experience allows me to quickly identify what to work and how, offering clear explanations about the aspects of the language that may be problematic for Spanish learners.
It is the student’s interests, learning objectives and way of learning that shape the class. We will work on the four skills of language (in addition to oral and written interaction) using textbooks, games and a wide range of authentic material.My teaching material

Catalina is an excellent teacher, and her approach through storytelling made our lessons so enjoyable. I felt comfortable speaking Spanish even though I made many mistakes. She always explained what the mistake was and gave an example of a way to express the idea in a more 'authentic' Spanish way. I loved having a bit of homework to do every week as well. It was fun listening to stories and then discussing them afterward, which helped my vocabulary and grammar skills enormously. I highly recommend lessons with Catalina!

My lessons with Catalina are so helpful and interesting. She helps me with my common grammar errors, and helps me build on my vocabulary. With exercises and homework, I've been able to improve already!
