About Me
italki teacher since Nov 27, 2017
¡Hola! My name is Carol, I live in Begur (Catalonia). So, I’m a native Spanish and Catalan speaker. I live near the sea with Rita the dog and 5 cats. You can easily say that I’m a crazy cat lady (una loca de los gatos) but it wouldn’t be totally true. Actually I love all kind of animals and my cats were in danger when I found them, so I rescued them, and you know, five can live as cheap as one (donde come uno, comen cinco… ). Usually they are sleeping during the lessons, but Rita sometimes comes to share the class with us. I've worked as an online Spanish and Catalan tutor for few years, helping foreign students of all levels and age with great results. I started at university volunteering in some NGOs teaching the language to those people from all ages, who had barely arrived in Spain and helping them out to be involved in the local culture and with official documents as soon as possible. Since then I’ve always been involved in teaching languages (even English). My Spanish pronunciation is neutral the same as my Catalan. In the informal lessons, we work on your conversational skills. Every week, I choose a topic to talk about or we can focus on your questions or doubts. We can talk or role play about everything you need (university classes, work, trip), or I can just share with you one of my favourite topics. Further, every week I will send you articles to push you to dive in the language and culture. For the formal lessons, I focus on the student’s needs and goals. I prepa...

Carol is one of the most positive, upbeat people I have ever met. This quality helps every lesson move forward to great topical matters and lots of laughs, along the way to learning advanced Spanish. I highly recommend Carol!

Carol is a teacher you can easily get addicted to! I have been taking Catalan lessons with her since February 2018 and, although I am often told that my Catalan is excellent and I'd rather work on improving other languages, I cannot give up on our weekly lesson (and would love to take more!), because it's an hour of learning in a fun and relaxed way. Carol is the teacher I would like to have for each of the languages I am learning, and also the teacher I would like to be myself. Moltíssimes gràcies per tot!

Carol and I has so many laughs today, whether we were speaking about Trump and the protesters, conspiracy theories, Covid-19, No matter how serious the topic, we managed many laughs. We also chatted about my business and retirement, buying a home in Costa Brava and the lifestyle there. We joked about all the cats and dogs at Carol's house, as well as the donkeys and geese kept at her father's house not far away. We talked about guilty pleasures - food, and drink. Carol mentioned that she likes "digestifs" now and again, as I do. Again, we had so many laughs, really, if I didn't need to use my earphones, I'd be rolling on the floor laughing. See u soon, Carol!

Carol was lovely and very helpful, giving me plenty of material to read and listen to. Hopefully next time I won’t be so nervous as I found my mind went blank forgetting even the most simple words and phrases. Carol was very understanding.
