Ángeles

Ich habe ungefähr ein Jahr selbst Spanisch gelernt und mich dann entschlossen, mit dem Sprechen zu beginnen und meinen ersten Konversationskurs bei Ángeles gebucht. Ich kann nur sagen, dass Ángeles wirklich die richtige Wahl hierfür war! Sie ist immer fröhlich und temperamentvoll, sie ermutigt und ich freue mich immer wieder auf das nächste Gespräch. Ein großes Plus ist das professionelle feedback. Sie protokolliert viel mit und wenn ich z.B. Fragen zur Grammatik habe, bekomme ich fundierte Erklärungen. Wir sprechen über viele unterschiedliche Themen, wobei sie sehr engagiert ist. Ich lasse mir seit einer Weile Übungsaufgaben geben. Ángeles bezieht diese Aufgaben auf die aktuellen Gespräche, was sehr hilfreich ist. Ich kann auch Studienmaterial und Tipps in Form von Videos oder Artikeln zum Lesen bekommen. Ich fühle, wie ich beim Sprechen sicherer werde. Ich kann Ángeles wirklich sehr empfehlen!

Por mi parte, esa no fue la mejor lección que he hecho porque yo tenía más dificultades en expresándome que lo usual. Pero Ángeles es muy comprensiva y muy amable. Ella me animó a seguir hablando a pesar de esas dificultades. Crea una relación con cada uno de sus estudiantes para apoyarlos en su aprendizaje, y la relación es un motivo poderoso para seguir adelante.

Ángeles really is the best! She is such a kind hearted, patient instructor. But she also pushes you to not give up too quickly and reach your full potential. She is a great cheerleader and believes in your ability to grow in your speaking abilities. I would highly recommend her as a teacher!

Ángeles is such an amazing, fun and dynamic teacher. I was hesitant in taking classes at first because I wanted to learn the language all by myself. But then I knew I made the right choice. Ángeles not only taught me Spanish for 3 months, but she also made me feel understood. She said the right words every time I doubted myself. I love her human approach and I really believe she is meant for teaching. It was also particularly important for me to learn both Argentinian Spanish and Spanish from Spain as I wanted to communicate with my Argentinian family in law, but at the same time I was also planning to move to Spain. Before taking the classes, it felt all so confusing and complicated. Ángeles dedicated time to explain it and integrated it seamlessly in our lessons. Now I can juggle between the two and adapt my Spanish depending on who’s my interlocutor! In addition to that, I just passed the B2 SIELE exam and I am now moving to Spain. Thank you Ángeles, you helped my dreams come true!

I do grammar and vocabulary lessons elsewhere, but putting it into practice with Ángeles has been helping me so much. She helps me refine how I communicate my ideas by sharing new vocabulary, grammatical corrections, and interest and engagement with what I say so that I feel comfortable trying to say more. Chatting with her is fun, and it doesn’t feel like work. It encourages me to keep practicing and learning so that I can converse even better. She also gives me feedback that encourages me in my skill development by mentioning improvements she has seen since our last lesson as well as her thoughts about our conversation. I usually bring a topic to class, and she is always interested in it, which is a great skill for a teacher to have. (I am at level B2.)

I always love lessons with Angeles because it’s like having a conversation with a friend, except I’m refining my language skills as I practice expressing myself. She’s gentle but so helpful in her feedback, tailoring the amount of explanation to how much I already know.
