Conversations with a spanish master's student in Blackrock

Hiya,

My name is Marta, I am Spanish student doing a Master's degree at UCD, and that's the reason why I am living in Blackrock, Dublin. I come from Valencia and I studied my BA in Humanities in Barcelona, specializing in Linguistics and Literature and finishing it in Puebla, Mexico, after having been awarded with a Santander Scholarship to study there for 6 months.

I am very curious about Linguistics and understanding the basis of different languages and the differences between them, as I think each language reflects a way of seing the world for their speakers. My first languages are Catalan and Spanish, and I also speak Italian and English. During my time in Barcelona, I taught Latin for high school students and Spanish and Catalan for foreign people. I had a great time doing so and could learn about the difficulties that non-Spanish speakers face when it comes to grammar or memorizing some vocabulary related to their field of interest.

After being happily adapted to my new life in Dublin, I decided it's time to get back to work and offer clases de lengua to:

-to those that are curious and want to start to learn some Spanish (or Catalan!!)

-to those who want to improve their Spanish or need some help to pass a certificate level

-to those who just look for someone to practice their Spanish with while having a tea or a walk*

+ I am open to talk about specific cases, like if you want me to mind your children + make them start to be familiar with a second language.

*For those who just want to improve their conversational skills while having a tea, my interests are arts and culture, sociology, psychology and history (my master's in International War Studies so I love to talk about current issues). I also enjoy travelling and getting to know other cultures and people. Otherwise, I am a very curious and respectful person and I am always willing to learn and talk about new things and acquire new interests.

In case you are interested, feel free to contact me to ask me any question or talk about your needs and preferences!


Adios adios :-)

I have taught Latin for high school students and Spanish and Catalan for foreign people living in Barcelona. During that time I learned about the difficulties that non-Spanish speakers face when it comes to grammar or memorizing some vocabulary and how to make it easier for them.

Ada
Spanish Tutor - Native Speaker Experienced in Tutoring
Hi! I am a 22 year old Spanish girl who is willing to help you thrive in your Spanish courses. Our classes will consist in helping you with your homework and exam preparation. Once this part is complete we will move on to the oral expression phase where we will practice and improve your speaking skills.

Ivan
News, personal experience, project, italian on the road
In my class, my first goal is to make the student gain confidence in the Italian language. This means there will be a lot of conversation during which I'll make sure the student bases the conversation on proper grammar and a spread lexicon. At the end of the lesson, I'll analyze the gaps that need or can be filled in order to improve the knowledge of the language. The homework will concern specifically the gaps faced during the lesson and will be faced once again at the beginning of the following lesson until the student feels confident.

Agnes
Friendly tutoring in Spanish, English and German
Hello! I’m Agnes. I would like to support you in Spanish and English as a tutor! I am kind and patient. You can also ask me as many questions as you like! I have a Bachelor's degree in Spanish Philology and a Master's in Interdisciplinary Latin American Studies. I attended an international school in Spain for three years. I also lived in Latin America for a while. Therefore, I am fluent in Spanish and English, master the grammar accordingly and would like to share my knowledge. I have already gained educational experience in language teaching at various language cafés. I have often supported my little sister in Spanish, English and German. It is particularly important to me to respond to the individual needs of the students. I am open to creative, playful and dialogical forms of knowledge transfer. For me, the focus is on supporting and paving the way for a sustainable understanding of the required knowledge context and not just “memorizing”. I look forward to meeting you. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at any time. PS: Of course I do not only offer my tuition for schoolchildren, but for everyone interested in languages of all ages.

Phillip
Private French lessons for adults and teenagers with native French speaker in Co. Mayo
For the past two decades, I've had the privilege of tutoring in both French and English. My students have ranged in age, background, and origin, spanning children, teenagers, adults, professionals, and even seniors aged 85 and above. You might wonder why I teach both languages. Well, I am bilingual, with American and Swiss/French roots, and I currently reside in Ireland. This unique blend of experiences equips me with a strong and relevant teaching approach. I possess an intimate understanding of both cultures, enabling me to tailor my classes to the specific needs of my students. My teaching journey began during my time studying social work in French-speaking Switzerland. I started offering private French and English lessons to supplement my income, and I quickly discovered my passion for it. Even after graduating and embarking on a full-time career, I couldn't bear to give up this rewarding activity. I cherished the opportunity to connect with diverse individuals and assist them in achieving their language goals. In my teaching methodology, interactivity takes center stage. I employ a variety of engaging learning tools, including photos, newspaper articles, music, videos, and more. My approach is highly adaptable, with a focus on addressing each student's unique priorities. Some seek to refine their pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary, while others require assistance with presentations or speeches for school or work. Some simply aspire to acquire a new language to enrich their general knowledge. I also specialize in teaching younger children, a testament to my educational background and experience. What you will gain from my courses extends beyond impeccable pronunciation and enhanced vocabulary and grammar. You'll also acquire a profound understanding of the culture associated with each language. When speaking a language, it's essential to appreciate the lifestyle, traditions, and heritage of the nations where it thrives. French and English are spoken as primary languages in numerous countries worldwide, each with its own unique accent and cultural nuances. The learning process is limitless! In addition to my language instruction, I'm a genealogist and host spiritual (non-religious) seminars in the beautiful West of Ireland. My passion for vegetarian and vegan cuisine adds a flavorful dimension to my life. Furthermore, I hold a degree in Early Childhood Education and have operated a private "Before & Afterschool" facility along with Summer Camps catering to children aged 4 to 12 for many years. I am genuinely excited about the prospect of meeting and working with you!

Kevin
Polyglot specialist with 9 years of experience. German in speed mode. Level A1 to C2. No school teaching.
I offer you a German course that is not like the others. There are two types of courses. Here is an analogy to illustrate their respective approaches: If you travel back and forth by train every day and don't have time to wait long at the platform, imagine that you only have two options: 1) Memorise the timetable. 2) Realise that the train comes every ten minutes and that a train arrives for example at 7:00 a.m. In school pedagogy, in textbooks and in normal lessons, the first approach is used - in the course I am offering you, it is the second approach because it is more economical and faster. My offer is aimed at both pupils and adults who want to learn the German language without time-consuming detours through the madness of fruitless school methods. Learning is easy, but unlearning things that have become bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, with my customised lessons you will greatly accelerate the learning process while having a positive attitude. I offer German lessons for individuals or groups (2 to 5 people). The methods are based on cognitive science and historical linguistics in particular. My modular programme can be adapted on a case-by-case basis. The converging point of these modules is your independence in spontaneous conversations in real life. What will not be covered in the course: learning lists of verbs; learning lists of nouns with articles; learning words with their translations; flashcards; doing school exercises; following the syllabus of a booklet; imposing the English grammar on the German language. What is particularly important to me: to motivate my student and to give him a learning rhythm; to encourage his creativity; to befriend him with the language; the letters and their sounds; to strengthen the memory by training the phonological loop; to teach blueprints instead of memorising sentences; to explain how the language works in order to make my student independent as quickly as possible; to eliminate common preconceptions, such as that 'der' would mean masculine and 'die' feminine, that the accusative would be a direct complement and the dative an indirect complement, that verbs would be irregular, that declension would be random and therefore would have to be learnt with each verb...; to put practice at the centre and only deal with grammar where necessary. A first lesson will give you a sound idea of my pedagogy.
