Information About Verónica - Dublin tutor

Personal Description:

Hi! My name is Verónica, native from Spain, and I live in Dublin few months ago. I am a certified Spanish teacher and I have also studied Translation & Interpreting. I teach all levels, all ages, and for all purposes. I can teach personally and on Skype/Zoom as well. I have lived in different countries in Europe and I have taught people from different cultures even at a university. I am easy-going and patient.

I am glad to help you to learn or improve Spanish, whatever it is your purpose (business, tourism, grammar, vocabulary, improvement, etc.). I adapt myself to your needs and your level, and even the language if you wish (I speak English, Italian, and French). I also help you to prepare for your exams.

So if you are decided, don't hesitate to contact me! :)

Approach to Grinds:

I take a practical approach to grinds since I think it will help more efficiently the students. In the first session, I take the first 15 minutes so that the students inform me about their needs and objectives. I always take note of it, so I can prepare the relevant material. In this way, I revise areas for which the students need help and it will save time in areas which the students manage better.

I explain the relevant topics by using my own notes and other materials that I look for previously on the Internet. I tick everything off when it is covered and track their progress.

If the students need or ask for taking a test after several lessons just to check the progress, I prepare it.
