Informazioni su di me
Insegnante di italki dal 16 Aug 2021Argomento di interesseMusicaFilmAnimali
I am from Barcelona. I have lived in London, Okinawa (Japan) and now I am back to Spain. I live in Asturias, in the north of Spain. I love music and cats and...of course ¡languages! I speak Spanish, Catalan, English, Japanese and a little bit of French. I have always been passionate about languages and teaching and I love sharing that passion with my students.Che tipo di insegnante sono
I have been a teacher for 20 years and I started teaching online classes 13 years ago. I have a Master's Degree in Teaching Spanish as a foreign language and I am a certified DELE examiner. I am confident with the use of new technologies for language teaching & learning. Despite my experience I am always trying to join new trainings so that I can offer the best classes to my students. Le mie lezioni e il mio metodo di insegnamento
I use a communicative approach so I try to use real life communicative situations for learning and practicing the language so my students can start speaking Spanish from the first session. I make my own teaching materials so that I can adapt my classes to my students' needs and interests. I also include Spanish culture in my classes and so that my students can have an immersion experience if they want to. I have thousands of resources to give my students the possibility to gain independence and extend their learning experience beyond our classes. Would you like to know more? I am looking forward to meeting you so, why don't you send me a message?Il mio materiale didattico

ロレナ先生のスペイン語のクラスを初めて受けました。とてもリラックスして、楽しいクラスでした。わたしが話すスペイン語を、ていねいに聞いてくれました。そして、わからない単語や、動詞の活用も、タイピングしながら教えてくれました。ロレナ先生は日本語もできるので、授業がよくわかりました。もっとスペイン語を勉強したいなと思いました。ありがとうございました。

Mi primera clase con Lorena fue fantástica. Lorena preparó una clase de preparación para la DELE. Los recursos eran exactamente lo que necesitaba. Y también Lorena era una profe genial. Era paciente pero al mismo tiempo mantuvo el ritmo de la clase.

Lorena was amazing!! What a professional! She asked me what I thought I needed prior to class, was prepared for 2 options for lessons and explained everything in detail with patience. She verified to make sure I understood and gave me a great direction in which to move forward with my learning.
