Über mich
italki-Lehrkraft seit 27. Feb 2015
Hello everyone! My name is Barbara! I graduated from the University of Essex in the UK with a BA in English Language and Linguistics in 2013. I also have an MA in Linguistics of European Languages now (with a specialisation in French). I got this diploma at University of Amsterdam. I've been a teacher for over 7 years now. I have a CELTA qualification for teaching English issued by Cambridge. It is internationally recognised and famous for its guarantee of quality.
!Hola! Me llamo Barbara. Tengo 29 años y soy profesora de inglés y de español. Llegué a España después de mis estudios en 2015 y me enamoré del país, de su gente y del idioma.
Ich als Lehrkraft
I've lived in different countries (UK, Netherlands, Belgium, France to name a few), so I am used to foreign speakers of English. That's why I know of language problems they usually have to face. I focus on teaching approaches that help students develop all four skills (speaking, listening, reading and writing) needed to be an expert in the language. The student is naturally in the centre of attention.
Las cualidades que valoro como tutora son paciencia, empatía y comprensión. Son los pilares principales de la vida feliz y equilibrada.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
I think it's extremely important to listen to his/her preferences and purpose for taking the class. I use a lot of authentic material and interactive exercises which help the learner use the language in real life situations. I also do preparation for various language certificates (IELTS, TOEFL, CAE etc.), business English, academic English, aviation English and others.
A parte de hablar de gramática, vocabulario, pronunciación correcta o exámenes, también quiero enseñarte la cultura y traer mucha autenticidad a las clases. Es muy importante para mí que mis alumnos conozcan el español real y que estén preparados para afrontar las situaciones diarias.
Very nice introductory conversation lesson with Barbara . She speaks clearly and seemed to be very kind and attentive with the student. She had prepared conversation topics in advance and encourages students to speak the language, giving them a feedback at the end, rather than interrupting them unnecessarily .

Barbara had prepared some exercices for me according to my needs and my level. She is very organized and enthusiastic. She speaks a perfect French, which could help French learners, but the entire lesson was in English. Tank you very much.
