My passion is to make language learning FUN!Mis clases y método de enseñanza
I like to teach in a way that is enjoyable for everyone, conversational, humoristic and relaxed. I enjoy using music as a tool for teaching and learning, as well as short videos, PPT presentations or online games. The more varied the lessons, the better!Mi material didáctico
