Reading and creative writing classes, as well as writing articles and essays.

From 30.37 £ /h

Both reading and writing are disciplines that require, today more than ever, periodic exercise and constant encouragement. For this, it is convenient to know the concerns and interest in the different subjects of each reader, regardless of their age.

We must bear in mind that we are facing a paradigm shift and that technological progress affects our ways of communicating: the language we use as and the different forms of expression.

To encourage children, as well as adolescents, to read, we need to motivate them, provide them with tools that allow them to discover the expressive and playful possibilities that these activities entail. In this way they will be able to face this activity in an active and participatory way, and not just passive (responding to a duty imposed by a teacher).

These tools will be useful both for carrying out their homework and for acquiring greater skill and interest in the art of critically analyzing each subject they read, as well as for composing their own articles, essays, and narratives.

And all this through the enjoyment that centuries of stories have given us.

Extra information

I will give the students the links to the stories, articles and audiovisual pieces that we will use for the different activities.

About Me

My interest in teaching stems from an experience I had as a student many years ago. I studied "Cinema and TV Directing", an entirely vocational career, however there was a teacher (one among more than thirty that I had throughout the 4 years of study) who stood out far above the rest, awakening in me a passion for reading and the technical and plot procedures of films that I had not experienced until then.

From then on I decided that, upon graduating, I would be a writing teacher. It was not my only trade, since I alternated it with other disciplines related to artistic work, but I never completely put it aside. I worked as a script teacher at Taller de cine and other private film schools, and in 2013 I founded, with two other teachers, the Boadilla del Monte Film School for Children and Adolescents.

My experience with students was always very enriching, being for me the main source of didactic learning. From the students I learn, from the reading and viewing exercises that I propose, new research and teaching tools that facilitate and make the experience of reading and oral and written expression more attractive. And the approach, of young people, to books: textbooks and stories, as well as movies, which always serve as inspiring material.

In this way, my development as a teacher and coordinator of reading and writing workshops is in constant feedback, and the techniques and exercises that I propose (many times through games) are continuously enriched.

In a time of increasing difficulty to assimilate texts that require prolonged attention, it seems to me more necessary than ever to acquire techniques that allow us to approach this kind of content in a pleasant -and efficient- way.

After all, words are a flexible and versatile material that lends itself to a wide variety of games and an almost inexhaustible inventiveness through which to channel our imagination.

The priority of the class is conversation as a means of teaching. The classes are taught in lessons per module, a total of four, where the students will interact in the development of the classroom, seeking learning in the interdisciplinary context.

In module one and two, the aim is to reach the basic level through everyday conversations that are essential for learning the first words and phrases, enriching the knowledge of grammar. Arriving at modules three and four, the student will feel more confident when speaking, writing, reading and listening to the language through the topics raised.

Learning Spanish at C1 level is not difficult. Even if it requires some hours of work, I can help you to make them productive, interesting, with clear examples, and above all, good vibes!
You may have to deal with a lot of different verb tenses, different accents from so many countries that have Spanish as their native language, or you may simply want to improve your skills for work. In the hour of work that we will do, rather than focusing on books, we will go out, learn vocabulary and do some day to day activities that will take away your fears of speaking Spanish.

Welcome to the Spanish Poetry course, a linguistic and literary journey specially designed for adults and young people who wish to immerse themselves in the rich poetic tradition of Spain and deepen their knowledge of peninsular literature.
In this course, we will delve into the vast and varied poetic production that has flourished in the Iberian Peninsula over the centuries. From medieval songs to innovative contemporary works, we will explore the voices of the most prominent Spanish poets who have left an indelible mark on the literary history of Spain.
Throughout our classes, we will closely analyze the different styles, themes and literary movements that have characterized Spanish poetry over time. From the mystery of the Romancero to the depth of baroque poetry and the passion of modernism, we will immerse ourselves in the many facets of Spanish poetry, discovering how it has evolved and transformed over the centuries.
Through readings, discussions and practical exercises, participants will have the opportunity to deepen their understanding of Spanish literature and develop their skills of critical analysis and aesthetic appreciation. Additionally, intercultural and linguistic dialogue will be encouraged among students, thus enriching the learning experience and promoting a deeper and broader understanding of Spain's rich literary heritage.
