SPANISH AND ENGLISH LESSONS (Certificates: Trinity / Cambridge / Cervantes)

From 27 £ /h

Would you like to speak Spanish? I can help you learn Spanish for whatever purpose you need (travelling, business, studies, certificates). I also teach English.
My name is María,, and I am an experienced native Spanish teacher, (Doctorate Studies in Teaching using new technologies. I graduated in English Philology and have my Master's in teaching Spanish and English as a Foreign Language). I own a language school for more than 33 years, where English and Spanish are taught. I prepare students for Instituto Cervantes, Trinity College London and Cambridge Certificates.

Teaching is my world. My students feel constantly motivated and in a few months, they can see how much they are learning. My classes are entertaining and focused on make the student speak and communicate, both speaking and writing. I love bringing cultural aspects to the lessons because learning a language is not just the academic side but customs, education and manners, among others.

If you are interested or have any questions, please contact me, it will be a pleasure to help you.
Regards,
Maria.

Due to the appearance of this epidemic, people have stopped going to Educational Centers.
For this reason, I have decided to offer my services online as a teacher of Mathematics, English, Language, French ... You only have to specify the course and the contents that I must teach you.
I will send you photos with diagrams, summaries and explanations and also, I will call you to explain it to you as if I were present.

English or what?? It will allow you to ask all kinds of questions, since doubting is the first time you learn something!!! And look at this! The more questions you ask, the better you will be with all the AUXILIARY verb puzzles, what a puzzle solving task!

I'm available almost 24/7 just like any trusted Seven/Eleven!! I say almost because as human as this teacher is, she also sleeps and eats!!

Welcome, welcome to English or What?, to my caracol house, to your English school!!!
