I have no doubts that being a good match with your teacher is of top importance for your language journey success. For this reason I will be happy to have a trial lesson with you so we get to know each other. This way you will know me a little better and I will get an idea of what you are looking for in your classes and we can plan ahead. 

Please, when you book a trial class briefly let me know what's your level and aims. Also, please read through my profile and check the available lesson options, so you have as much information as possible before we meet 😉

*Trial classes last 30 minutes as ruled by Italki.

Venture Out Into Spanish 🐅🐆🐘| A1-A2

La idea de estas clases es doble: disfrutar de usar el idioma con naturalidad después de tanto esfuerzo puesto en aprenderlo y seguir mejorando tus habilidades con devoluciones personalizadas. 

Podemos conversar de los temas que a vos te interesen o que yo proponga, o incluso, de lo que surja espontáneamente en nuestras clases, como en la "vida real". En el tiempo que llevo en Italki tuve conversaciones buenísimas que surgieron así con muchxs estudiantes. Me encanta conocer e intercambiar puntos de vista y vivencias. Conocer tu historia o hablar sobre tu ciudad, tus intereses... sobre tu vida y la mía. También me gusta conversar acerca de música, series y películas, y literatura. 

¡Gracias por tu interés!
Nos vemos,

Conversatorio 🎙️ | Intermediate/Upper Intermediate |Clases de conversación

Are you a tourist planning a visit to BA, an expat based in BA struggling with the accent or a big fan of the Argentinian Capital?

In any case, if you have some 'Argentinity' in your DNA that you would like to expand on, I can screen-show you around the city with authentic tourist information videos and articles, plus my own experience as a local.

Let's learn Spanish while also absorbing some cool facts about this fantastic city. The food, hoods, words, sights, bands and artists, and customs of the 'porteños'. It will all be part of the experience.

Want to try it? See you inside!

For more advanced students, this is the advanced Argentinian Spanish proposal:

I made this training course in one of Buenos Aires' best language schools. It was designed to give ELE teachers a comprehensive background into language teaching. We got practice straight away with foreign students and the experience was both valuable and useful in terms of the knowledge they shared and advice and suggestions given.

I sat for CAE (Certificate in Advanced English) in 2006, passing with an A

Trinity College Certificate are aimed at communicative English language speaking and listening skills for use in real life. I passed level 12 (mapped C2 CEFR) with merit.

During 2017 and the first part of 2018 I completed a training course on Neuropsychoeducation, that is, Neuroscience applied to learning. It was an eye opening insight into how we react to new experiences and how we process information. Ever since then, I've applied the knowledge acquired to my language teaching.

I graduated as a lawyer from University of Buenos Aires, one of the country's most prestigious public universities, in 2011. Upon graduation I worked as an attorney for some years but I'm currently not doing any law-related work, except those involving language teaching. I have regular classes and courses with foreign law students or people related to the 'legal world'.

Formerly a student in my school days, until I moved in to Córdoba I was an English teacher here. I used to have regular courses of students aged 9-18 and I'd tutor the older ones to sit for FCE exams. I also teach adults, tailoring my classes to fit their needs. I have a great time switching to my "English self" for a few hour every day. 
Since we've moved to Córdoba, my courses have stayed virtual.

I decided I wanted to teach Spanish after living for 6 months in Brazil. While living there I had the chance to teach Spanish to hotel staff and felt it was exactly what I wanted to do wherever I was. Once I was properly trained, we included Spanish as a Foreign Language as part of the course offers. We've had students coming to study, but most of all, over the Internet, and well before the pandemic hit!
