Who am I? What is spanishmente?

Spanishmente is a small academy of Spanish that was born in 2021. I teach Spanish through it from zero. They are lessons focused on the reality of the student and his or her goals. One of the most important things for me is knowing why the person wants to learn Spanish and his or her purposes. As an extra service, I am developing a project that combines the teaching of Spanish with cultural and leisure visits to the beautiful and culturally rich province of Cádiz. It is the land where I was born.

I am a Higher Certificated in Marketing and Tourist Information and Secretarial Skills, having finished both studies in 2008. In 2009 I decided to specialize in the golf course sector studying Golf Course Management at Ciomijas Center, in Cala de Mijas, Málaga. I worked in the tourist sector for years. Despite my taste in this industry, I was sure that I needed a change. In 2020 I met a mother of two kids that wanted to learn Spanish and I started to teach them Spanish online. Then it was when I realized that I enjoy preparing a classroom and teaching the contents. The University Education Center of Carpe Diem and ELEinternacional certificated me as a teacher of ELE and teacher ELE focused on children and teenagers. That is why I can also teach Spanish to kids and very young boys and girls with a dynamic adapted to the kid classes. ELEinternacional provides me with continuous training.

My students come from many parts of the world. Many of them started with me from zero. After attending a few lessons, they learnt Spanish vowels and alphabet, greetings, farewells, numbers, to introduce themselves in Spanish, the gender, the singular and the plural and more. Always with a personalized and thoughtful manner and creating a bond between the student and me.

In Spanishmente, the student is the protagonist of the lesson. I aim to grow up every day as a teacher and as a professional.
