All my classess are grouped according to skill level, from A1-Beginner to C1-Advanced. All follow the guidelines of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) and the Curriculum of the Instituto Cervantes.
CLASSES DIALOGUE FOCUSED
Online classes aim to develop mainly oral skills: speaking and listening skills, althought you will be practising also your reading, comprehension, and writing skills from the first class.
Classes taught using Skype, Zoom or Teams. That way, I offer you a simple, safe, fun and flexible way to enjoy online Spanish language lessons.
PERSONALISED LESSONS
Tailor-made classes to suit your individual needs. Each lesson is personalised. I will adapt the lesson to your priorities, needs and desires. The preparation of each class is exhaustive. As a result, learning Spanish is not only fun and effective, but also dynamic and fluid. I will personally prepare all the contents of the class, althouht there is the possibility of working with student materials as well, provided these adjust to their language level.
Online classes are for individuals only. However, if you live in Utrecht, you can have classes face-to-face, which could also be for pairs.
SOME EXAMPLES OF WHAT IS DONE IN CLASS
Working with the recommended book for each level and style of student.
Using all kinds of supplementary materials.
Using both CDs and DVDs selected for their educational value. The importance of modern technology and audio is taken into account.
Speaking about different topics of current interest that will be useful to get the practice and confidence speaking Spanish.
HOW ONLINE CLASSES WORK
You will receive the materials before the class.
We will speak in Spanish all time in the lesson. As a result, you will learn much more and faster.
Your learning will be interactive, since I will share my computer screen with you. It will be like having a “virtual blackboard”.
The virtual blackboard allows us to share documents in real time as well as edit and correct them.
In case you need it, I can explain the content of the lessons in different ways and repeat it as many times as necessary.
If you want, I can write a class document with all the notes of the lesson and send it to you after the class.
You will receive your homework after each lesson. Once completed, you should forward it so that I will correct it and send the corrections. In the next class I will explain any doubt about the corrections, if neccessary. The performance of your homework is very important for your learning, because thanks to it, you will be able to enhance your grammar and vocabulary and develop your writing skills, reading and listening comprehension.
