About me
 
I have been teaching for almost 10 years. I deeply enjoy and love teaching. I live in Buenos Aires, Argentina and my main interests are languages, education and the new technologies.
 
My Qualifications & Experience
 
I'm an ESL teacher.

I have a university degree in Education from the Buenos Aires University.

I'm about to have a post-graduate specialization in Educational Technology also from the Buenos Aires University.

I have been teaching English to young learners, adolescents, as well as adults, for nearly a decade. Nowadays I'm also an online facilitatior of Spanish as a Second Language.

Teaching Approach

I'm convinced that languages, above all, are communicational tools. That is why my teaching approach is mainly communicative.

Being each student unique, I firmly believe that the teacher should be flexible and always take into account their needs and interests. Teaching, then, should place the student in the centre of its concerns.

 

Word of the weekAdding Fun

admonition ad-muh-NISH-uhn, noun:
1. Gentle or friendly reproof.
2. Counseling against a fault or oversight; friendly caution or warning.

After debating whether Keayne should be excommunicated, the congregation concluded that an admonition would suffice.
-- Patricia O'Toole, Money & Morals in America

And in religious families, the biblical admonition, "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone," is part of living-room and kitchen table conversations.
-- Ann O'Hanlon, "Strange lessons for inquiring children", Irish Times, September 14, 1998

Or there is this simple admonition: "Be careful, God is watching."
-- Roger Cohen, "A Land Where God Is Working Overtime", New York Times, August 23, 1998

Admonition derives from Latin admonitio, admonition-, from admonitus, past participle of admonere, to remind, or warn, strongly, from ad- (here used intensively) + monere, to remind, to warn.
