Spanish classes highlights

My teaching approach is grounded in the action-oriented methodology proposed by the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). I believe that language is not only a system of rules to memorize, but a powerful tool for real-life interaction. Therefore, I design my lessons around authentic communicative tasks that allow students to use Spanish in meaningful, practical ways. I encourage learners to actively participate, take risks, and become confident speakers through simulated situations, cultural discussions, and personalized activities. Over the past 7 years, I’ve taught students of all ages from children to adults across different settings, including public schools, private institutions, and one-on-one virtual tutoring. My experience as a Spanish language assistant in France has deeply shaped my teaching style: I focus on intercultural understanding, creative problem-solving, and student-led learning. I integrate grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, and culture into every session, always adapting to the learner’s pace, background, and goals.
