Personal Description: I am a highly qualified Spanish teacher with more than ten years of experience teaching Spanish at different levels. I tailor my teaching to students' needs.

Tutoring Experience: I have tutored in a variety of contexts to students of different ages (children, teenagers, adults), of different needs (student-teachers, Spanish for business purposes, Spanish for tourism, Medical Spanish, English as a Foreign Language) and from different countries (Colombia, USA and England). This teaching experience has helped me to become more sensitive and aware of the learning processes learners go through during their training and to adopt different approaches to teaching according to students’ needs, interests and characteristics.

Tutoring Approach: I follow a communicative approach to language teaching where the four basic skills (listening, speaking, writing and reading) are addressed using the language in real situtations.
I start with a needs analysis and assessment of language level in order to tailor the tuition to students' requirements.
