CELTA English Instructor. Elementary and highschool English teacher. Argentinean. Dynamic, fun and entertaining. Willing to adapt my classes to my students' needs and interest.
I have a bachelor's degree in communications of the University of Buenos Aires and I've recently finished the CELTA course successfully.
I started working as a teacher seven years ago. The first few years I worked for English Institutes such as Berlitz and Global21 were I was trained as an instructor and had a chance to gain experience giving classes in different companies such as Nestle and DirecTV. In 2016 I started working as an English teacher for an elementary school and I still teach children of 5th and 6th grade. I also began developing my own entrepeneurship, Spinglish, which has enabled me to work independently ever since. This year, I started working for a highschool with teenagers of 4th and 5th year.
I consider and try to keep my classes student-centered, which means I first have an interview with the student to get to know them and see which skills they'd like to enhance, how much time they are willing to invest in learning each week and what their interests and needs are. Based on this first encounter, we choose a material together suistable for their level - I have a good range of books with their audios and videos - and we use through the time of the course. I also bring my own materials to the classes, such as worksheets designed by me, videos I find interesting for certain topics, songs, books, magazine articles, and any material that could add dynamism and rythm to my classes. I like to keep a fast pace but studying thoroughly the topics that could trouble students most. And most importantly, I think it's essential to create a relaxed and fun atmosphere to provide students a great learning experience.
I am flexible and can try to adapt easily. My idea is to change jobs and start working independently, so I'm willing to give up some of my fixed jobs and make myself available for new students.
I live in Buenos Aires, Argentina, so I could work online any time of the day. I marked the green timetable based on my time zone but I could adapt to my student's agenda if necessary.
