As a native Spanish speaker, the knowledge of Spanish, the understanding of culture and my experience in teaching help students I tutor learn it easily in a fun way. I am convinced that patience, clear explanations, rapport and motivation are the keys for success in teaching and learning. I understand that not everybody learns in the same way, not everybody has the same needs! I work with kids, young learners and adults. I hold a degree in Education and I also have been an English as a foreign language teacher at a Peruvian university for more than ten years.
