About Me

Hello! I teach foreign languages, such as: English, French, Spanish, Romanian, Hindi to all levels. I teach any of them through a different medium as the language of teaching: English, Romanian, French or Spanish. I can teach as well Philosophy or Religious Studies.
I commute inside Barcelona province. also provide online lessons.

My training style is very interactive, combining theoretical with live examples. I teach with or without support, while acknowledging that having a visual support proves to help audience internalise better the information given. I support a combination of training practices, combining self training and one to one coaching solutions, enabling the trainee to practice and learn in different ways.

¡Hola! Enseño idiomas extranjeros, como inglés, francés, español, rumano e hindi a todos los niveles. Enseño cualquiera de ellos a través de un medio diferente al del idioma de enseñanza: inglés, rumano, francés o español. También puedo enseñar filosofía o estudios religiosos.
Me desplazo dentro de la provincia de Barcelona y también doy clases online.

Mi estilo de formación es muy interactivo, combinando la teoría con ejemplos en vivo. Enseño con o sin apoyo, aunque reconozco que tener un apoyo visual ayuda a la audiencia a internalizar mejor la información proporcionada. Apoyo una combinación de prácticas de formación, combinando la formación autónoma y soluciones de coaching individual, lo que permite al alumno practicar y aprender de diferentes maneras.

Moltes gràcies!

Met plezier werken aan een een higher level van de France taal (for beginners en gevorderden).
Heb je al een klein beetje kennis van de France taal opgedaan op de middelbare school? Dan help ik graag verder op weg! Door middel van eenvoudige gesprekken over onderwerpen uit het dagelijks leven, werken we samen aan het vergroten van je woordenschat, het formularen van correct zinnen en een goede uitspraak. Tijdens de eerste sessie bespeken we uiteraard wat je met je lessen wil bereiken en in welke onderwerpen je jeïnteresseerd bent. Well I'm at middelbare school-leerling, dan passen we on uiteraard aan de eisen die het leerprogramma stelt. Het plezier van het Frans spreken staat voorop! Het kan af en toe handig de nodig zijn om een beetje grammatica (bij) te ren, maar het is mijn bedoeling om door middel van eenvoudige dialogen en schrijf-oefeningen je kennis van het Frans snel te vergroten. Fouten maken is niet erg! Het is juist belangrijk dat je fouten durft te maken als je een taal leert, want alleen zo kom je verder.

Learn French in an interactive way. All ages.
hello, salut Nice that you came here to have a look. I speak the French language at a near native level and have work experience as a French teacher at a secondary school. I also gave French tutoring to students, children and adults. Whether you want to start early or when you're retired, anything is possible. I deliver custom work, you decide what you want to learn and how. Do you want to improve your speaking skills because you want to go on holiday to France? Or do you want to prepare for your exams by practicing reading skills? Even if you just think French is a beautiful language to learn, you are welcome with me. My lessons are characterized by an accessible, involved and creative way. Price in consultation, depending on objective, lesson frequency, lesson duration and financial capacity. It is also possible to take lessons in small groups, for example together with a good friend or with your partner. Feel free to contact me without obligation to discuss the possibilities.

Daniela
Spanish lessons for beginners to advanced with a native speaker!
My name is Dani and I am Mexican. I always ask my students about their specific goals and their preferred way of learning a language. In my classes I like to take a conversational approach, but this depends entirely on the needs of my students. I use different books with different didactic material, mostly Aula Plus and Bitacora. I also try to practice all skills: talking, writing and listening. If the student wants it, I leave homework, which I correct during the week before the next lesson, so that we can make the most of the lesson time. I share a word or phrase of the week with my students to build a useful vocabulary. Teaching is my passion. I feel motivated by the progress of my students, which I believe also keeps them motivated. German and Spanish are my native languages and I speak fluent English, I also speak fluent Dutch (with a little accent). Therefore, I can explain concepts in all these languages. However, I prefer to speak Spanish as much as possible, also for the beginners lessons, because I believe that people learn the language better that way. I have a FPELE certificate: Spanish as a Foreign Language Teacher Training. And I have taught A1 to B2 level at a language institute in Spain.

Barbara
NATIVE SPANISH, street Spanish, natural, focused on a relaxed work or life environment.
Hello! I am from Madrid but I am living in Utrecht. I am a "cat", this means that I, my parents and my grandparents were born in Madrid. I love languages. I have studied English for many years, so I know what it feels like to learn and I have discovered the best tricks for both learning and teaching a language! I want to make you speak like a native! :) Two years of experience and I love it! Before I studied funny things like theater and acting and then I worked as a web developer, so our topics of conversation can be very varied!

Stefano
Conversational class in English as Second Language
The aim of this course is to increase fluency, confidence, use of language and pronunciation in order to improve your language skills. I offer explanations of Grammatical topics, expansion of vocabulary and tips for pronunciation in order to improve the ability to be understood! The best way to know a language is through exposition, therefore only English will be spoken in class.

Erika
Spanish for Travellers, Seniors and Global Citizens
Spanish is becoming more and more a popular language. Learning it should be fun and efficient to enjoy the language. I am an experienced English and Spanish Teacher for children and adults. I love teaching because it is not only the language but the culture. I am originally from South America which gives the perfect perspective to understand a neutral Spanish that is different from the one spoken in Spain. My Spanish is useful in Spain and Latin America. I have a full time job so this is my hobby. My fee might not be the cheapest. You would pay for quality and experience :)

Noa
Spanish teaching degree student - looking for children and adolescents to give private classes
The class is dynamic and personalized depending on the age and level of the student. As a student, I understand that sometimes theory is overwhelming, which is why I organize my lessons so that the student stays motivated. I also try to do activities to keep the class entertaining.
