Perfect your English and/
Van 35 € /h
In the first lesson, I will ask you about yourself, your reason for taking English/Spanish lessons, and what you want to improve in. I will then introduce myself and explain my typical class structure. We will next spend 10 minutes on what I call a "warm-up", which involves presenting an image with an interesting story behind it and asking you to describe it and guess what's going on in the photo. I find this exercise especially useful for the first lesson because I consider it a more accurate way of assessing a student's strengths and weaknesses than standard small talk. After this, I choose a pre-prepared lesson suited to your level, goals, and interests, which is usually built around a short article excerpt and discussion questions. Throughout the class, I correct mistakes as much as possible without over-correcting, and suggest more advanced vocabulary and grammatical structures where possible. In the last 5 minutes, we will talk about your preferences and plan for future classes, and if you're open to it, I send homework. This is usually an article or video to reflect on and discuss in the next class, or a grammar topic to review with a few exercises, preparing you for a deeper reflection in the next class.

Over
Hello everyone! I am Rebecca, a native English speaker from the US and a bilingual Spanish speaker (Argentine Spanish). I'm a language enthusiast and expert (I speak 8 languages), and teaching English and Spanish is a true passion of mine. I love sharing what I know about language learning and helping students feel confident using a new language.
My lessons are friendly and built around you, but are also meticulously structured with second language acquisition-backed strategies to help my students advance as fast as possible. My lessons typically look like this:
- We start with a quick warm-up, where I show you an image with an interesting story behind it, and you describe it and guess what's going on. It's a fun way to "break the ice" and helps you prepare for the rest of the lesson.
- Next is the main lesson. I choose a pre-prepared lesson that fits your level, goals, and interests. This is usually built around a short article excerpt and discussion questions, or a grammatical topic I notice you need to work on.
- Throughout, I correct your mistakes without over-correcting, so you keep your confidence and your flow. I also suggest more advanced vocabulary and structures where they fit.
- To round off, we will plan the next classes together, and if you're open to it, I'll send homework. This is usually an article or video to reflect on, or a grammar topic with a few exercises, to prepare for a deeper discussion next time.
Whether you want a customized plan around your own goals or a more structured path, I'm happy to do either. If you've ever struggled learning languages, you're especially welcome here, as my goal is to help learners succeed, regardless of the challenges they believe are holding them back.
