Angeles began her career as an English language teacher, and has since gained over 12 years' experience teaching Spanish, Catalan and English. She gained her Spanish teaching certification from the Instituto Cervantes in 2001, which together with her BA in English Philology, gave her the necessary qualifications to develop her skills in teaching languages. Angeles spent many years teaching in state schools in Spain, and now offers private face-to-face and online Spanish classes.
Her years working in different institutions and environments have provided Angeles with valuable information about learning styles, and an appreciation for learning that goes beyond grammar usage, vocabulary and communication skills. She has used this critical understanding to develop her own methodology, which involves tailoring programmes to meet each individual student's needs, level and learning style. Her classes focus on learning the language by simulation of real-life situations, which she has found to be a popular and effective way of teaching a foreign language. The key objective is to learn what you really need, and take a gradual approach to developing communication skills, rather than spending time learning each idiomatic structure.
Deciding to opt for private classes can offer advantages over group classes, where Angeles believes in providing custom made materials and guidance. This is a more effective way of helping student's reach their goals. The face-to-face classes are taught in a relaxed atmosphere, so students can feel comfortable and enjoy the learning process. Angeles' online classes include a virtual classroom using Skype or Zoom, where you can enjoy learning from the comfort of your own home. All lessons include activities for the class, optional homework, correction of exercises by email or Google Drive, and student evaluation and updates.
