Spanish diminutives (-ito) and augmentatives (-ote)

Hello everyone! I would welcome the opportunity to teach you a fascinating language. I am an italian native-speaker and I am eager to let you enter the world of italian language and culture. I offer professional classes in order to achieve highly proficient competence in the italian language, as far as reading, speaking and writing are concerned. Classes will be interactive and dynamic, combining learning and enjoyment. Levels according to QCER (A1-A2-B1-B2-C1-C2).

I help you SPEAK Spanish. Are you learning a language just to accumulate random knowledge or to communicate, experience the culture and the people, and travel? I am pretty sure the latter is true, right?

In our lessons, you will communicate, eliminate mental blocks, and learn vocabulary and grammar that you will actually use. After each class, you will be able to apply in your conversations what you have just learned.

My lessons are fully personalized to your goals, needs, and interests. Every student is different and so are their goals, interests, and way of learning. In order to make the most of the sessions and help you to develop fluent Spanish skills, I customize my lessons and materials to every one of my students.

I am a grammar freak and that would make me a terribly boring teacher if I didn't also loooove to chat about everything possible. So I find it quite easy to find a good balance between theory and praxis.

I love people, that is why I am a teacher: I will love to know more about you, about your interests and your culture, as well as sharing mine with you.

I am also known among my students to make the best recommendations about series, films, books, and events to keep improving your Spanish in a fun and relaxed way.

A little more serious info: I am an Online Spanish Teacher with more than 10 years of experience teaching privately, in High Schools, Language Schools, and online. I am also a certified DELE Examiner.

I am a language learner too: I speak German, English, a little bit of French and I am currently learning Japanese. Thanks to this experience, I understand perfectly the difficulties and needs of my students and I adapt to them so that you can make the most of each lesson.

And the important stuff: I live in Austria, have two dogs and a toddler; I love reading, traveling and cooking; I am a Hufflepuff; I try to keep my beautiful plants alive; I collect stationery stuff; I love learning new things and when I start a series I love, I have a huge urge to finish it as quickly as possible.

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.

¡Hola! I’m Paul from Venezuela. I’ve been living in France since 2012, where I work as a fully qualified Spanish teacher at the university level, with up-to-date training.
I have extensive experience preparing students for DELE, SIELE, Bright, and CLOE exams, as well as general Spanish practice.
I specialize in helping students improve their Spanish pronunciation and grammar, assisting many in developing a more natural and fluid way of speaking.
I have worked for various universities and associations for over 10 years. Currently, I teach online for CoLanguage and engineering schools in France, mainly to university and high school students.

My name is Maja and I am a CELTA certified teacher holding a Bachelor's degree in English language and literature. My teaching experience spans over 15 years and it encompasses work with both children and adults. Time flies fast when you are having fun, some might say. And teaching for me is exactly that – fun.
During my career, I have worked with all levels and ages, both in primary and private language schools and now in an online setting.
Working with the little ones must be the most challenging but also the most rewarding aspect of this job. In my virtual classroom, I strive to constantly engage and activate my students by using props, visuals and gestures. In addition, creating a child-friendly environment and catering for students’ needs are essential for learning to take place.
In my spare time, every now and then I get away from the city and spend a bit of time in the great outdoors, hiking or camping. Tai Chi is something that I have recently discovered. And I absolutely love it!
You will find that I am a hard-working, reliable and an adaptable person and I am sure we will get along well.
So, let’s learn and grow together. Come and join me in my virtual classroom where the magic happens.

Hello everyone, I am Giulia and I am Italian.

All of my education has been gravitating towards languages, not only because of my strong desire to communicate effortlessly with people from other countries and getting to know more about their cultures, but also for my interest towards the structure of every language itself. Since the beginning of my high school years I have been studying and absorbing grammar and literature of Ancient Greek and Latin. This allowed me to improve my grammar basis and made my passion for it grow stronger. Meanwhile, I was carrying out the study of English, French and Spanish, on my own.

Later on, those languages have been the center of my studies at the University of Turin. After graduating in 2016 in Linguistic and Cultural Mediation, I decided to move to Boston, United States, in order to experience what speaking another language really means and to know more about a new culture. During my stay, not only had I the possibility to reach an advanced level of English, but I also improved my Spanish and, to a lower extent, my French, having the possibility of practicing them daily. In August 2017, I moved to Spain, where I attended a Masters in Intercultural Communication, Translation and Interpreting in Public Services offered by the University of Alcalá (Madrid).

Throughout my education I had the possibility to deepen my knowledge of the mentioned languages, to learn how to translate and interpret and I had the chance to learn more about linguistics as well. I am now fully fluent in English, French, Spanish, Portuguese and Italian.

I am a translator at core and I have been a translator intern for CIDA’ archives in Alcalá de Henares, in Spain, using different language combinations. In 2018, I moved to Portugal, where I have been working for Accenture as a Business Analyst. Meanwhile, I have been translating for YOKO Translate and for WonderWords and I have been working as a translator for private clients. I have also been teaching English for 8Belts, a Spanish company which base its courses on the e-learning. Moreover, I have autonomous students who mainly want to learn Italian, English or Spanish.

I learnt myself four languages my own way, giving importance to the grammar, but focussing also on other aspects which are usually a bit underrated, such as vocabulary and listening. I have myself created games and teaching strategies to help my students get better results, although the method is adaptable to every specific situation.

For teaching, I use some manuals depending on the level of the student, but also personal material I have been collected during the years or created. My method is a mix of standard and original learning strategies and I hope you'll have the chance to join my course and take advantage of them.

I hope my skills, motivation and commitment make me the right teacher for you.

If you need any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to hearing back from you. Thank you for your time and thoughtful consideration.

Best Regards,

Giulia Genovese

Hey!

My name is Jayma and I am working as an English Language Assistant in France.

I have a teaching experience of more that 5 years. My approach is activity based to make learning interesting.

See you and have a great day!

Hello! My name is Ainhoa, I am Spanish and I live in Bilbao, a city in the north of Spain. I love languages ​​and learning about new cultures, that is why I decided to teach Spanish. I find it very gratifying to see the students improve.

I am patient and cheerful, and I strive to create a comfortable environment where students are not afraid to make mistakes. I am positive and I firmly believe that anyone with effort, perseverance and correct accompaniment can improve.

I am an online Spanish teacher certified by ELE International and I have been teaching Spanish since 2019. In 2020 I formalized my business and became freelance.

In these years, I have studied Spanish grammar thoroughly and I have tried many teaching methods that were taught to me in my training, which has led me to create my own method with what I have seen has given better results. I use spaced repetition, create projects, do real-life rollplays, and have the student come to the correct conclusion on their own using questions. For all this, we will use manuals that will guide your learning, the campus diffusion books.

I have helped students of all levels to improve Spanish until they can speak correctly. Each student learns differently and has their own challenges, so I have learned which resources work best for each person.

In my classes you will find a smily face and a relaxed atmosphere, in which you will feel free to ask questions as much as necessary and to express yourself without fear of mistakes.

See you soon!
