¡Hola a todos! I'm Belén, professional Spanish/English teacher from Southern Chile, Patagonia. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Language Teaching, and I work as an English teacher in a private school. I really enjoy teaching languages because I get to meet amazing people from different parts of the world, and if I can help them getting new skills, that's even better. I love hearing what students have to say about their lives, because I learn so much about their cultures and from them as well. I do my best to speak with a comprehensible neutral accent, but if you want me to help you understanding the Chilean accent, I will be happy to help you with that.
I believe that in order to learn a new language we need to PRACTICE, and I'm sure we agree on this: you want to be able to TALK and UNDERSTAND the foreign language you're learning, this is why I use a communicative approach, together with some grammar and practical activities. As a teacher I am pretty flexible with my teaching methodology, as after some lessons completed I can recognize how the students learn better and tailor the teaching style to their personal needs.
A regular lesson type:
- Free conversation, prior knowledge activation or homework revision (10-15 minutes aprox.)
- Instruction & guided practice (35-40 min aprox.)
- Closure & independent practice suggested (5 min aprox.)
I sometimes struggle to conjugate the sentences correctly and feel a bit slow, but Belén is always patient, supportive and encouraging. I always enjoy the lessons.
