Welcome to Spanish from home

Story

Spanish from home was established in 2019, but I have been delivering Spanish language courses to people across 33 countries since 2013. My experience spans a diversity of backgrounds, interests, goals and professional sectors. Each person has a different path affected by several factors, going from their mother tongue or the number of languages they speak to their time availability, including, of course, the exposition to the Spanish language in their daily basis. This is how I have learned to taylor my lessons to my students' pace, availability and capabilities.

Philosophy

I recognise the challenges adults may face when acquiring a new language. That is why the lessons I provide are crafted with a clear and concise approach. I understand that the learning process can be daunting, and to address this, I have developed a lesson structure that provides the exact amount of input needed without overwhelming you. From the materials I choose to the length of the lesson, everything is optimised to enhance the efficiency of Spanish language learning.

As I often say to my students, I am like your personal trainer, as motivated and excited as you (at least!), but you are the one who has to sweat in the process.

Methodology

Scientific research has shown that acquiring a new language becomes more challenging after the age of 12. Learning a language requires additional effort to achieve proficiency in comprehension and communication. That is why I use the Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) method, prioritising effective communication as the core language learning objective. This approach focuses on real-life communication, using contextual learning, interactive activities, and a learner-centered environment. Through a task-based structure, in our lessons we develop functional language skills, fostering a comprehensive and engaging language acquisition experience. If you are committed and dedicated, I guarantee success in this journey.
