I am an experienced teacher in Spanish, Social Anthropology, Philosophy, Meditation, Mindfulness, and Yoga for twenty years.

I am a native Spanish speaker from Galicia (north of Spain). I adapt my teaching to all levels, ages, and needs.

I am a patient, kind, and approachable teacher.
I do love teaching, and I have the gift to make understandable and fun what it could look complex and difficult to learn. I greatly help students feel confident and motivated to learn. Many of my students have told me that I am the best teacher they have ever had :)!

I am looking forward to hearing from you and helping you with your learning :)!

Kind regards,
Sonia

Availability: Flexible, usually weekdays, but I can teach some classes on weekends.

Willing to travel: 1 miles

Experience: I have a doctorate in Philosophy (Ethics and Politics, extraordinary doctorate award), and I also have a degree in Social and Cultural Anthropology, and a degree and master in Philosophy. I have the teaching qualification certification from Spain (the Spanish equivalent of QTS).

I studied Philosophy and Anthropology at the Universities of Santiago de Compostela and Complutense de Madrid in Spain, Oxford University, Stockholm University (Sweden), and University of Berkeley California (USA). I have been a Postdoctoral Scholar and Lecturer in Social and Cultural Anthropology at the Universities of UC Berkeley, California (US), and Stockholm, Sweden.

I have practiced Meditation for more than twenty years. I have studied Meditation, Mindfulness, and Yoga with great Western and Eastern teachers. My students learn quickly the fundamental meditation´s techniques, and they incorporate easily their meditation practice into their daily lives. It helps them to improve concentration, focus, tranquility, joy, and reduces stress, tension and anxiety. I adapt the teaching to the student´s needs and interests.

I have been teaching Spanish, Philosophy, Anthropology, and Meditation very successfully for more than ten years in different universities, secondary schools, and individual tutoring.
