Professional online teacher of English and Spanish for adults and teenagers (from beginner to advanced levels).

Hello, I am Valentina. I have two master's degrees, in English philology and in English studies, multilingual and intercultural communication; a professional diploma in foreign language teaching; and a CELTA certificate. I work as a self-employed online language tutor based in Málaga. I specialise in General English, ESP (English for specific purposes) and exam preparation (Cambridge FCE/CAE, Aptis General). Apart from that, I teach general Spanish to Russian-speaking learners who have moved to Spanish-speaking countries and prepare for SIELE and DELE language exams up to the C1 level. I give individual classes and teach in small-group contexts, building tailor-made didactic materials in collaboration with learners' goals: exam-focused workbooks, asynchronous homework tasks and recorded oral practice, adapted to each candidate's needs. I combine communicative, lexical and Dogme approaches, Project-Based Learning with innovative synchronous tasks and asynchronous homework to extend learning beyond live sessions. My teaching principles are: * consistent and regular exposure to the natural target language, * clear and methodologically coherent organisation of the teaching process, * incorporation of authentic materials, * lots of active practice in class and revision outside it, * high engagement during the lessons, * personalisation of tasks and materials, * careful attention to details and respectful feedback, * a friendly and approachable atmosphere.
