My trial lessons
During our trial lesson, we will get to know each other. I will ask you to introduce yourself and tell me about your goals and expectations. You can also ask me anything you might want to know. We will go through some activities according to your level to discuss "¿Por qué estudias español?" and your study habits. We will also aim to discover those learning strategies that work best for you. Finally, I will provide you with a link to an online Placement Test to be completed after the lesson.
