Bio:
I was born in Seville, Spain. My mother is from Spain and my father is from Iran, so I have always been in touch with very different cultures. That's why after finishing my university studies I traveled to several countries teaching Spanish to different types of students and with different methodologies. This has allowed me to learn about different teaching approaches, always adapting my lessons to my students' interests and goals.
My teaching methodology:
My teaching background:
I have taught Spanish to children and adults for over 10 years. All my Spanish lessons are designed according to the needs and goals of my students. Before designing my lessons, I take some time to get to know my students and ask them about their goals and interests. I also want to know very well the reasons why my students want to learn Spanish. It will be the needs and objectives of my students that will determine what kind of lessons we will have: lessons more focused on academic learning or more communicative ones, in which they will learn the language to be able to face daily situations. In addition, before each lesson, I provide my students with the content that we will work on. This way, they can study the theory by themselves. In class, I will answer all the questions they may have, and we will focus on working on the practical part. This maximizes students’ performance as well as the time spent practicing the language.
My background outside of teaching:
I am a journalist and hold a master's degree in teaching Spanish as a foreign language. Additionally, I have several specialized courses in teaching children and Spanish for business. I am a tireless traveller, an eternal language student, a lover of cinema, music and photography. Fan of technology and video games. I am a restless and curious person. In addition to my work as a teacher, I have published books for DELE Exam preparation and written several journalistic articles for advanced students.
