My name is Anna and I graduated in 2016 from Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona with a BA in English and Spanish Studies and a Master in Teaching Spanish as a Second Language in Universidad de Barcelona and Universidad Pompeu Fabra.
I worked as Spanish teacher in different languges schools and I also made collaboration as an Online Spanish teacher with Groningen University. In all my experiences as a teacher I have always tried to make students enjoy classes as much as possible so that their learning is positive.
In my classes I try to teach in a didactic way based on a more communicative approach although I always adapt to the needs of the students.
If you want to learn Spanish do not hesitate to sign up and we will have a good time;)

Adriana is a wonderful teacher. She prepares the lessons individually for me. The lessons are very varied and include components such as grammar, pronunciation, exercises, etc. She has a lot of patience. Adriana speaks very clearly, so that you can understand her very well even if you have a less pronounced knowledge of Spanish. Adriana is a very friendly and motivating teacher. I can highly recommend her, classes with Adriana are always fun and it doesn't feel like studying but you learn a lot :-)

Hey guys!
As a famous proverb says: "You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream."
Many people say it’s easier to learn a language when you are young but there are advantages to learning a language when you are older.
That's why I'm here, your teacher Mila, to help you improve your vocabulary, grammar, erase your fear for speaking and teach you some great things about the world's culture.
I'm a Master Professor of English Language and Literature, with more than 8 years of teaching experience in several countries.
I'm focused on teaching vocabulary and grammar through speaking and natural acquisition with communication.
There's no any boring book in my class, but a lot of interesting materials, worksheets and videos created for each and every student individually to meet everyone's requirements.
I'd be happy to meet you soon and start creating some magic with learning.

I graduated from pedagogy at the University of Belgrade. I've been teaching English online to people of all nationalities and all ages for over five years.
I am interested in music. I play the guitar, make funny little songs, but sometimes I try myself out in real poetry and song-making.
I like movies. Comedies are the best, but I also like good fantasy, sci-fi, and artistic movies. I love acting. I use acting when teaching English.
I am a science geek. Mainly physics, chemistry, biology, medicine, and the related fields. I also love humanities and like to hone my critical thinking.
But most of all, I am easygoing. I like to talk and always find a subject to chit-chat. Video games or memes, pop-culture, and humor. Humor's good - you can't believe how much you can learn through humor.
