Brenda

¡Hola!

My name is Brenda, and I`m from Buenos Aires. I have more than nine years of experience teaching Spanish as a second language in Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo (Brazil) as well as in Buenos Aires (Argentina)and the UK. In London, have been working in the FCO, teaching Spanish language and LATAM culture for the diplomatic service since 2015.

My students have come from a wide range of different backgrounds, from professionals at international companies to university students or Spanish learners from around the world taking intensive courses in Buenos Aires.

I hold the CLTA Certificate from IH, and I always enjoy taking part in new courses and workshops to continually improve my skills as a teacher (Seminar for DELE test givers at Instituto Cervantes, "Learning Spanish with Games Workshop", "Certificate Oral Evaluation in the Spanish Class", etc.) I am currently studying an MA in Education at King`s College.

I teach both in-person and by Skype. My lessons are dynamic, communicative and I guaranty you are going to learn and have fun!

I enjoy photography, music, cinema, art and, of course, I love travelling and knowing different cultures.

I am looking forward to hearing from you!

Brenda
