My teaching approach is personalized, respectful, and tailored to the individual needs of each student. I use active and dynamic methods that encourage participation, understanding, and critical thinking. In class, we work on both curricular content and communication skills, as well as learning strategies.

I dedicate extra hours outside of class time to carefully prepare each session, selecting appropriate materials and designing engaging activities that support and reinforce learning. I also use Google Classroom as a support tool, where you’ll find resources, assignments, useful links, and organized progress tracking. My goal is to create a supportive, structured, and meaningful learning environment where each student feels guided and empowered to progress at their own pace.

Depending on the age and goals of each learner, I incorporate visual aids, interactive games, readings, conversations, writing tasks, and real-life situations into our sessions. I strongly believe in fostering autonomy and confidence, and I always aim to make learning enjoyable and relevant. I also maintain regular communication with students (or families, in the case of younger learners) to provide feedback and adapt the learning path when needed. My experience as a teacher allows me to adjust quickly and offer creative solutions to help each student overcome challenges and reach their goals.

Additionally, I highly value motivation as a key driver of learning, so I strive to create a positive and stimulating atmosphere in every class. Patience and empathy are also core to my teaching style, helping students feel safe to express themselves and learn without fear of making mistakes.
