Rafael Pena Spanish and English for Specific Purposes
No reviews yet

As a graduate of a Masters degree in English and Spanish for Specific Purposes, a former English Teaching Assistant, and a former student of the Spanish Language, I am familiar with the strategies and difficulties that come with learning a new language.

My teaching methodology is structured according to the four main aspects of language learning (Speaking, Listening, Reading, and Writing), through a combination of textbooks, speaking activities, and games.

I have given successful private classes to English Learners, and their grades have improved, particularly in the speaking. I Aside from grammar and vocabulary, I provide tips to boost confidence, remember vital phrases to start sentences, and sounding native.

I have been studying Spanish for 4 years, both though in-classroom and immersion from living in Spain. I have passed the DELE Exam with a Certified B2 level; thus, I can also provide exam-based training.
