Personal Information

Hello! / ¡Hola! I am a Spanish Native Speaker from Mexico who has recently moved to Poland after spending four years in the United Kingdom. Firstly, doing a Masters in Applied Linguistics at the University of Liverpool and later working both as an English and Spanish teacher in Manchester. I offer personalised and professional Spanish/English language instruction at all levels for individuals and companies within the Warsaw area.
As I said before, Spanish is my mother tongue. However, I also have native-like English proficiency, which basically means that my mastery of the English language –including my accent– is just as good as any native speaker’s. So, whether you are interested in taking Spanish or English lessons with me, you can rest assure that you will learn to speak the language of your choice at a top quality level.
Although I initially started a career in Accounting, I quickly realised it was not for me; so I quit and embraced my true passion –language teaching– and for the last twelve years, I have helped students of different ages, nationalities and backgrounds attain the language mastery they need by putting into practice the knowledge I have acquired in my studies and throughout my teaching career.
My tutoring approach is very dynamic and fresh, but most importantly, highly COMMUNICATIVE. It draws on the latest methodologies in the field and will help you to develop the language with fluency, good pronunciation and grammatical accuracy. No matter whether you start from scratch or already have substantial knowledge, you will be speaking from lesson one. You will also be learning grammar in a different and motivating way. No more boring lessons heavily packed with the practice of grammatical structures without a real purpose or meaningful context.
Courses are tailor-made to students’ needs and incorporate the practice of the four linguistic skills as well as the vocabulary and grammar necessary to cope with everyday-life situations. The books and materials utilised cater for different learning styles –visual (seeing and reading), auditory (speaking and listening), kinaesthetic (doing/carrying out activities). |

I think it is great to meet people from all over the worId and have the opportunity to get to know about their cultures and traditions. It definitely widens your vision of things. I am also a big fan of baseball, American football, football, and tennis. I like economics and history as well.
In case you are interested in my services, remember that I can teach you at the location of your choice, whether it is your home, office or company's premises.
