Hola a todos, * I was born and grew up in South America and Spanish is my first language. I have been living in Australia for more than 20 years. After a rewarding career as an academic scientist, I continue pursuing my passion for education. Certified by the Institute Cervantes in Sydney, my role is to teach and guide people who are enthusiastic about learning Spanish, tailoring lessons to their individual goals, level, and learning style. * I have been teaching Spanish and culture for the past seven years to people of all ages, genders and nationalities. This project arose from the difficulty of finding tutors or places in the area to transmit the language Spanish. I understand that many people in the region do not have the time or opportunity to commute to the city, so my program offers flexible, accessible lessons tailored to the needs of those who want to learn the language.
*I offer a FREE TRIAL LESSON so students can experience my teaching approach and materials before starting regular lessons. The aim of the first lesson is to to design a tailored and engage course that suits the learner. This free lesson offers the opportunity to ask me about concerns related to the learning process. *PRICING OPTIONS: #Fee for TWO students (Friend or partner): $100 per hour. Or you can opt for a block of 5 lessons ($90 per lesson), or 10 lessons ($80 per lesson)

* How long do you need to learn a language? Learning a language is a step-by-step journey, not something overwhelming. Practice and repetition are the key elements. With a structured approach, it becomes rewarding over time.
*CONTACT DETAILS: brocardomariana@gmail.com or 0402943135. Please, send me a message or SMS and I will contact you as soon as possible.

* My teaching approach is based on four elements: 1) METHOD to provide a structure. 2) PRACTICE to build fluency and reinforces skills. 3) PRODUCTION to use the language freely in authentic tasks. 4) PERSEVERANCE through challenges. These elements foster steady progress and long-term success in acquiring a new language. It’s not about speaking perfectly, but rather about the ability to feel confident, build connections with others, and actively participate in conversations, even if you make mistakes.

Experience

My professional background has provided me with the expertise to mentor and train individuals, to support their development at the pace they require to learn a language. I bring analytical thinking, problem-solving skills, and a systematic approach to mastering a second language. Based on my experience learning a second language, what makes us speak fluently is the repetition and integration of concepts in a dynamic and motivated way, unlocking patterns of communication.
