Hello, I am Ale!
Nice to meet you all.
Trained as a language teacher in Chile and the UK.
I have taught both Spanish and English at various levels in different teaching contexts for more than 30 years.
Professionally speaking, I have developed an open and positive attitude to understand human nature and have become aware of the variety of social, local and personal factors which affect language learning.
Ich als Lehrkraft
I am an optimistic, energetic and lively person who believes that language learning is learning about a new culture, a new way of being and a different way of feeling and behaving.
My creative personality seems to have made of me an effective teacher and communicator among my learners. I enjoy teaching languages and my students seem to like that!
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
I usually talk to my students before starting lessons so as to have access to their styles and interests.
The idea is to guide my teaching according to what they want to learn.
In my lessons learners will experience moments of interaction as if they were in a real conversation and not necessarily thinking of a typical classroom lesson.
