About Me
italki teacher since Apr 25, 2016
¡Hola! I'm Dana. I was born and raised in Mexico. I'm currently studying Spanish Teaching as a Foreign Langauge at university. I like to learn languages and travel. I'm also learning Korean, so I understand the struggle. Feel free to make mistakes, get comfortable and tell me your goals, so I can help you reach them. :) I have taught on Italki for more than a year and I love it. I started this as a hobby and now I'm studying Spanish Teaching as a Foreign Language at UNAM to become a professional teacher. My objective is to be a guide to my students, since we all learn in different ways I try to adapt to my students learning styles and provide materials, corrections and suggestions to communicate more naturally. I want to make them feel comfortable to make mistakes, practice and talk about any topic. In my classes we are going to: - Focus on your needs. - Practice with different materials as role plays, articles, news, books, etc. - I will explain grammar in an easy way and we will do a lot of practice, since practice makes the master. - I will teach you the correct pronunciation and accent of the words. - I will give you tips to speak more naturally. - We will use Google docs during the class. - We can also talk about Mexican culture.

Dana does an excellent job in making ideas about language structure much easier to understand. She is one of the best tutors I have worked with. She is a learner of other languages that gives her a unique perspective about learning that is very important for being a effective tutor.

It was my first lesson on italki and exactly what I had hoped for. Dana was really nice and had fantastic preparation. I've been learning spanish through books mostly, and wanted the chance to hear and talk to a native speaker. We went through pronunciation questions I had, as well as some grammar questions. Thanks Dana and see you again soon!

After having more than 20 lessons with Dana, now perhaps is the right time to summarize my experience and my achievements. Last two months of studying have been very interesting. Not only I had a good speaking practice, but also studied grammar a lot and now I can build sufficiently complicated phrases, for example: “had I not been studying grammar with Dana, I could not say phrases like this one.” Without any doubt, Dana is not simply a tutor for practicing conversational skills, but also a capable and effective language teacher. Después de haber tenido más de veinte clases con Dana, tal vez ahora sea un buen momento para resumir mi experiencia y mi conocimiento. Los últimos dos meses de aprendizaje fueron muy interesantes. No solo tenía una práctica de conversación, pero también estudiaba mucho la gramática y ahora puedo construir oraciones bastante complicadas, como, por ejemplo: "Si no hubiera estudiado la gramática con Dana, no podría decir frases como esta." Sin duda, Dana no es simplemente una tutora para practicar la conversación, pero una profesora capaz y efectiva.
