About Me
italki teacher since Jan 31, 2021Interest topicScienceReadingTechTravelMedical & Healthcare
"Hi, I'm Laura Manuela from Colombia. I have a degree in Astrophysics🌌 and have worked as a Software Engineer💻. I've been teaching Spanish for 3 years🤓.
If you're looking for a passionate🔥 teacher and someone with whom you can engage in interesting Spanish conversations, look no further🙋♀️! I understand firsthand the challenges that can come with learning a new language, but I also know the satisfaction and rewards that come when you put in the effort and achieve your goals🥳."Me as a Teacher
I have a diploma in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL/TESOL), and have learned several methodologies and approaches to teaching depending on the many ways that a person can learn. I have taught math, physics, and English to high school and college students. I enjoy teaching and love learning from everyone that I get to know. I love speaking and writing in my language and have read much of its literature. Because of my broad vocabulary and many interests, I can help you learn the language of a wide range of topics that are of specific interest to you.My lessons & teaching style
From my own experience, I know the best way to learn any subject is to genuinely enjoy it. And the best way to learn a language is learning and practicing new words and expressions in a safe, encouraging, and enjoyable context. Regardless of your level, you will be speaking Spanish with me from the very first class. Over time, I'll choose topics that I know you are interested in. My years of learning English have shown me that you learn a language most effectively when you practice listening, reading, and writing using resources that you personally find useful. I will help you connect the Spanish language to other meaningful areas of your life.My teaching material

Laura is super great! She is easy to talk to about many subjects, super patient, and helps correct mistakes while at the same time giving me the chance to try to say things first, even if I make mistakes, and I really appreciate that.

I always look forward to my lessons with Laura. I was having a bad day, and my lesson with Laura helped get my mind off it and channel my feelings into learning more Spanish. I really like that she has introduced me to many Latin American writers, and I enjoy our discussions about literature.
