My Teaching Method: The "Communication-First" Approach
My philosophy is that language is a tool for connection, not just a subject to study. I use the Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) method, which prioritizes:
Context over Conjugation: We learn grammar through real-life scenarios (ordering food, navigating a meeting) rather than memorizing dry tables.
The 80/20 Rule: I aim for you to speak 80% of the time. This builds "muscle memory" and reduces the "translation lag" in your brain.
Cognate Leveraging: Since you speak English, you already know thousands of Spanish words (like actor, hospital, or perfecto). We start by unlocking the vocabulary you already subconsciously own.
*60-Minute Lesson PlanI structure my lessons to ensure you leave feeling more capable than when you started:
-TimePhaseActivity00-10 minThe Warm-UpCasual "Cafecito para empezar" chat about your day to get into the Spanish mindset.
-10-25 minThe ConceptIntroduction of a new functional goal (e.g., "Expressing opinions" or lo que paso"Past tense").
-25-45 minActive PracticeInteractive role-play or guided conversation using the new concept.
-45-55 minRefinementCorrecting pronunciation "stumbling blocks" and adding "native-sounding" phrases.
-55-60 minThe Wrap-UpA summary of wins and a "Real World Mission" to try before the next class. engaged the communicative experices for next class.
What makes me different is my focus on Cultural Intuition. I don't just teach you what to say; I teach you why people say it, and how they use it in daily life.
I understand the specific hurdles English speakers face (like the "Rolling R" or the difference between Ser and Estar) and have specific hacks to overcome them.
Custom Resources: I provide curated playlists, videos, and "cheat sheets" tailored to your personal interests (business, travel, business or literature).
