Hello, mi name is Ada, I was born in Havana, Cuba, even though I live now in the wonderful Mexican city of Merida. I have a BA degree in History at Havana University and afterwards I studied an MBA of Finances at the same University. I worked in an important French bank for 15 years. I finally developed activities in tourist sector in the Caribbean area. I’ve been teaching French and Spanish languages during years, alternating with my work. I love lecture, good cinema, exchange about different cultures and travelling. I hope I’ll be able to help people wanting to learn languages and share my knowledges with other people that need it.
While studying at the Alliance Française, I worked as a tutor of other students that were in lower levels of learning. I’ve been teaching in digital platforms for people that want to learn Spanish or French language. I think that the future of languages is in distance learning, and from the comfort of remoteness there is a huge potential for seizing new knowledges and cultures. It’s amazing the many variations of Spanish language, thanks to the large diapason of Spanish-speaking countries. This is why we can’t reduce the class process only to the language, but it’s extended to a large cultural spectrum.
I work with a mix of methods that I adapt to the needs of each student. I consider that there are not global methods for studying languages but students that require a learning method adapted as a glove. I consider very important to work in communication skills, as the first thing a student need is to communicate. But I also prepare a basic grammar presentation, that offers the student the tools for a proper communication. By alternating the classes with audios, because it’s as important the speaking as it is the listening and the understanding, which is one of the hardest skills for students.
