Do you know the difference between the Preterito perfecto and the Indefinido?
Example:
Ayer hice pasta para comer. (Yesterday I made pasta for lunch)
No sé si hoy ha ido a la oficina. (I don't know if he has gone to the office today)
El mes pasado me (inscribir-yo) en el polideportivo de mi barrio. Como no (recibir-yo) ninguna confirmación, hace 3 días (llamar-yo) por teléfono para ver si mi inscripción estaba en regla. Entonces la secretaria (mirar-ella) en el ordenador y me (decir-ella) : "Ya (introducir/yo) tus datos y tu nombre no (aparecer-él) “¿Estás seguro de que te (registrarse-tú) correctamente? ”. Yo (responder) : “Claro que sí. ¿De verdad no (encontrar/tú) a nadie en la lista con el apellido Martinez?”». Al final todo fue un error. Menos mal!
Last month I enrolled the sports centre in my neighbourhood. As I didn't receive any confirmation, 3 days ago I called them to check if my registration was ok. The secretary had a look at the computer and said: "I have already introduced your details and your name didn't show up. Are you sure you did the registration properly?" I answered: "Of course I did. Are you sure you haven't found anybody called Martinez?". Finally it turns out everything was a mistake. Just as well!

In recent years I have worked as an Academic Director at a Language School in northern Spain. My job duties there included designing intensive... Spanish & English courses for beginners’, intermediate and advanced levels, as well as teaching both on-site and via Skype. This constant interest has allowed me to become familiar with techniques and tools that are essential in today´s second language learning, such as the materials used by the Cervantes Institute and the most renowned publications and blogs in the field of language teaching. Most particularly, I have made extensive use of audiovisuals and creative writing activities in order to develop consistent, effective courses. As an on-line teacher, I have steadily used different technology applications in language learning. My tasks as a teacher included setting homework and giving feedback to my students, according to their needs, on a regular basis, as well as keeping accurate register of their attendance and progress. Graduated in Hispanic Philology and Masters in Applied French, I have always kept up with my teaching training and have recently completed a Cambridge CELTA course for English teachers This further training has provided me with the familiarity to different teaching methodologies, which have proven to be extremely useful in my classes. My hobbies: art cinema, hiking, reading and watching and playing basketball. Read more

I attended a Foreign Language High School in Italy and passed the first year at the University (foreign languages and literatures) in Udine, Italy.
I worked in the retail and hospitality industry in the past, assisting guests from all over the world, talking with them in Italian, English, German and sometimes French.
I managed an after-school program for children (elementary and middle school) with a friend, and I taught them how to improve their knowledge of English and German language.
I spent a year in Ireland, first working as an au pair and then as an employee at a corporation, dealing with the American and German markets.
I have recently got a Cambridge English certificate (C2 level) and a certificate for teaching online from Arizona State University. I am currently studying to get a German certificate (C1 level).
I offer English tailor- made lessons for everyone, regardless of age: students and employees, housewives and workers.
Depending on your needs, I can teach you the language starting with the basics, explaining topics which are difficult for you to understand, and having conversations, so as to have a more lively way to communicate.
I like to enrich my classes not only through textbooks, but also through elements taken from everyday life such as films, newspapers, books, and a good dose of creativity.
I am happy and proud to have helped many students to pass their foreign languages exams and to improve their grades, and to be still in touch with some of them.
I would like to be of use to all those who think that learning a foreign language is one more step towards improvement.

Hola, qué tal!
I have always enjoyed working with languages, culture, education and people. I am originally from Venezuela so Spanish is my native language and I have been living in Belgium since 2009. My degree as Master in Industrial Sciences is equated here.
I am a teacher and since 2018 I have been teaching Spanish to adults. I am able to boost the self-confidence of my students. My lessons are for absolute beginners (direction level 1 and 2), intermediate (direction level 3) and advanced (direction level 4). Conversation is also possible. I focus on the four most important skills: speaking skills; listening skills, writing skills and reading skills. And also on grammar and spontaneous communication.
Teaching and language are just my passion and I would like to teach it to others. I work with adults and seniors, but know that every person learns in a different way. Pleasure in learning and daring to communicate are paramount to me: We use Spanish book and workbook; audio material (Spanish songs), card games and more!
Los espero!
