Hello, I was born in Ecuador, so Spanish is my mother tongue. I love learning languages. This is a lovely way of getting to know people from other cultures. I speak English fluently since I have been associated with an English community living in Guayaquil for more than twelve years by volunteering in an educational work. I also like teaching children, I feel that they are like an open book ready to learn and are very funny. Recently I got my TESOL certificate to be ready to teach English as a second language. And right now I am preparing myself to get my First Cambridge Certificate to enhance my listening, speaking, reading and writing skills in the English language.

Me as a Teacher
I have been an English teacher for over ten years and have worked with school and college students. Two years ago I started teaching Spanish to native English speakers through conversations on Skype. I love teaching because I feel that it is very rewarding to be able to share your experiences and knowledge with other people.
My lessons & teaching style
Usually during my classes I use didactic and multimedia material. I use slides to explain ideas and reinforce vocabulary. Also during my conversations in Spanish, I like to encourage the student when he has created a sentence with his own words, but I also correct him when his ideas are not well structured or he pronounces words incorrectly. I don't like to make him feel uncomfortable, so I never put him in trouble. I consider myself very patient when teaching.
