ABOUT ME

Methodology and objectives:

Teaching a language is a fascinating adventure and should be a fun and personalised process.

In “El Latido” we use different methodologies adapting them to the needs of our students and our objective is that they can use the Spanish language in real situations with practical and useful courses.

Throughout my career I have often been asked: “In which country is the best Spanish spoken” and the answer for us is clear: the richness of the Spanish language is in its diversity.

Language richness

Every accent, every word, every idiomatic expression was created through the historical and cultural processes of each Spanish-speaking country, therefore, to establish categories would be to take away from this beautiful language a great part of its richness.

Cultural immersion

We believe that in order to learn a language one must also understand the cultural aspects that make up the language and the worldview of the people who have kept this language alive.

Language skills

All language skills are important: oral expression, listening comprehension, written expression and reading comprehension. That is why in “El Latido” we propose you to develop these skills so that you can achieve your goals.

We believe that there is no single way to learn, each theory and educational methodology provides aspects that can benefit the learning process and in “El Latido” we know how to select different resources and tools from a holistic approach. Learning to aprender¨ is our goal, providing students with independence and self-sufficiency so that they are the protagonists of their learning.

Together we will explore the wonderful world of Spanish-speaking countries and the Spanish language and you will have the opportunity to learn according to your needs without pressure and at your own pace.

The great adventure of learning a fascinating language begins today!

I love travelling and getting to know new places, I am fascinated by exploring the different beliefs and ways of life of human beings.

I also love: reading, cooking and dancing, especially Latin rhythms!

The musical legacy of Spanish-speaking countries is very rich and whenever I hear a drum, a guitar or a song full of rhythm I feel like going out on the dance floor.

My great vocation is teaching and I enjoy a lot what I do.
