    Translated by Google. Click to view original.
    Hi there! My name is Laura and I am a Hispanic philologist, linguist and playwright, so I know Spanish very well.
    I teach Spanish as a second language, where we will adapt the content to what you need: grammar, vocabulary, expressions, conversation, cultural issues, etc.
    At the University I worked as a tutor for foreign students, so I have experience.

    About Me

    I do love languages (English, French and now, I'm studying Japanese) and different cultures. I think that learning a new language changes our mind and it's always funny.
    Are you asking why do we say something in Spanish? When do we use "ser" and "estar"? Is this sentence difficult: "me voy a ir yendo"? I can explain it all that.
    We can focus on whatever you need: grammar, vocabulary, conversation, listening, writing... Always with explanations in order to understand the subject, not only memorizing it.

    Education

    I've studied Spanish: language and literature at Universidad Complutense. Then, I did a Master's degree in spanish language research. After that, I studied Dramaturgy at RESAD. Now, I'm doing my PhD.

    Experience / Qualifications

    I have been private teacher for 10 years (Spanish language and literature, French). At university, I was tutor of foreign students.

    Spanish classes for children, youth and adults in Madrid
    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.
