Über Mich
I have a Bachelor’s degree in Journalism and hold three Master's degree in Spanish as a Foreign Language from the Alcalá de Henares University in Madrid. I have over ten years of experience in teaching Spanish to foreign students of various ages, nationalities and backgrounds at the International Languages School "Enforex" in Madrid. Since 2015, I impart Spanish classes to the staff in the United Nations World Tourism Organization in Madrid.
I work with a communicative method which includes the teaching of grammar, speaking, writing, reading, listening comprehension as well as instruction in Spanish culture.
In both my group and private classes, I encourage the exclusive use of Spanish, but if the student feels shy or stuck, I can use as much English as needed to make you feel more comfortable to advance, especially at the beginning. As I have taught students from various backgrounds –Chinese, English, Japanese, American, French, Italian, Portuguese, German, and Turkish-- I can help you with the most common pitfalls in vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation.
As a Cervantes Institute accredited trainer, I also teach courses at all levels to prepare students for the Spanish as a Foreign Language diploma administered by the Instituto Cervantes (DELE). I have also administered the DELE exam myself on multiple occasions, so I can help you achieve this goal. I offer my students multiple resources such as textbooks, exercises, videos, guided conversation, games, compositions, suggested readings, films, and TV series. I do a quick test to find out each student's level at the start and then test for each level completed. I do believe, however, that each student knows best what his/her needs are; I can, therefore, tailor the lesson to the goals of the student in order to make the learning experience as fruitful and productive as possible. I will also guide each students to many useful on-line resources for self-study.
I consider learning (and teaching) Spanish as a great chance to have a good time! Personally, I cannot conceive learning a new language without enjoying it, having a good time. I always do my best for the students to get the maximum benefit from each lesson as well as to have a fun experience while accomplishing their goal.

My passion for mastering the Spanish Language in all its forms and styles, as well as my desire to have a better understanding of the world we live in led me to study Journalism. I gained and broadened my specific knowledge in subjects such as Politics, Economy, Sociology, Literature, History, Philosophy, while working on my skills as an effective communicator in radio, TV, and the printed press. These skills have been very helpful to me in harnessing extensive resources from these fields to communicate better and be more creative as a teacher.

Sara's experience and professionalism shows in each class. She prepares materials for each class, suggests a ton of very useful material for homework/practice and further study, and she takes the time to really make sure I am learning Spanish in a thoughtful way. She's a dedicated and caring teacher. It's been great taking classes with her so far!

I've had four lessons with Sara so far and my learning has definitely benefited already. She has really good ideas and lots of resources to help explain the things we're working on. I spent a long time looking at teacher profiles before I made a choice and it has really worked out for me. Very enjoyable & highly recommended.
