¡Hola!
Mi nombre es Selena y soy ecuatoriana.
Tengo un título universitario en Educación Básica y una maestría en Psicopedagogía. Desde los 16 años he dado clases de idiomas y hablo inglés desde los 8 años. Adoro viajar y he tenido la oportunidad de viajar un poco, así que tengo muchos temas de conversación!
¡Espero conocerte pronto! :)
Hey there!
My name is Selena and I’m from Ecuador.
I’m a professional teacher, I hold a Bachelors of Education and a Master’s in Educational Psychology. I’ve been teaching languages since I was 16, and I’ve spoken English since I was a child.
I love traveling and had the chance to explore different parts of the world, so I always have plenty to talk about!Me as a Teacher
El centro del espacio de aprendizaje que se creará es basado en los intereses y metas que se propone cada estudiante. Por un lado , al momento de aprender un idioma es fundamental desarrollar las 4 habilidades básicas, es decir el leer, escribir, hablar y escuchar. Por otro lado, este proceso no debe ser aburrido ni apagar las ganas de los estudiantes para aprender, por eso me gusta crear ambientes de aprendizaje basados en los gustos de los estudiantes para potencializar sus habilidades y solventar sus problemas de una forma entretenida y muy entusiasta.My lessons & teaching style
Para crear el método de enseñanza es fundamental conocer las afinidades con las que cuenta el estudiante para crear un espacio acorde a sus metas y a sus dificultades. Me gustan las clases prácticas por eso es que siempre empleo diferentes recursos multimedia con los diferentes temas del interés del estudiante para no solo fortalecer sus conocimientos en el idioma, sino también crear espacios donde el pueda exponer sus ideas de forma libre. Pues en este proceso aprenderemos y compartiremos nuestros conocimientos para cumplir los objetivos que se propongan de una forma práctica para que los conocimientos sean significativos y se puedan aplicar en varios espacios.My teaching material

My teenage son really enjoys lessons with Selena. He likes how she speaks clearly and makes him feel comfortable to talk. I especially appreciate her upbeat energy which is perfect for motivating my low energy teenager. She’s also very flexible and open to me suggesting activities. Overall, she creates a positive, encouraging atmosphere that makes learning Spanish enjoyable and effective for my son.

Selena has a very clear neutral accent and was patient with me. I would recommend her 10/10.
