COURSES

WHAT METHOD IS USED?

The method is 80% communicative and focus on capacitating the student throughout the four linguistic skills: listening comprehension, oral expression, reading comprehension and written expression. In the meantime, working on affectivity through pleasant, playful and fun classes, through animations, interactive exercises, music, documentaries, advertisements, films, poems and cartoons, in order to practice and remind the vocabulary learned in each class.

Whenever they want, both adults and children can practice, remind and deepen the vocabulary learned in the classroom with homework, complementary tools and materials on topics of their interest. This material consists of books, magazines and films that will facilitate learning, and ensure the continuity and autonomy in the study.

Children enjoy listening to entertaining melodies, poems and rhymes, which assist in memorizing the new words they have learned. Puppets and ludic games are also used as a strategy that opens their minds to learn a new language.

There are also courses with online classes using the same contents offered in the face-to-face classes. The video classes are extremely didactic, self-explanatory and fun.

Finding Kathy to be the Spanish teacher of my five year old daughter was a relief. I was so much looking for an efficient teacher, dedicated and very tactful with children. My daughter loves her classes, which are fun and creative. We are 100% satisfied with the classes. We highly recommend them. Thank you, Kathy.

Luisa Gómez

Kathy is a street-wise and fun person. She is a competent and creative teacher who is always updating her knowledge. Culturally, she is very prepared to pass on to the student not only the Spanish knowledge, but also the culture. I highly recommend her.

Lela Cretoiu

I love her joy to teach. She really enjoys what she does and manages to transmit her enthusiasm for the language to the student. Dynamic classes, with lots of conversation. The fact that she is native also makes all the difference for the better.

Marilene Lucinda

I love Spanish and took classes to practice communicating and become more fluent. I'm very shy and the didactics used in the activities, as well as Kathy's way of working, helped me a lot to gain confidence.

Layane Furst

I started studying Spanish a year ago for two reasons. Because I like the sound of the language and I wanted to keep my mind active. Today I continue studying, mainly because of Kathy. She captured me with her joy and charisma, in addition to being an excellent professional. I always tell my Hatha Yoga students how wonderful Kathy's classes are. I think that those who are depressed, without hope, should not take medicine, but take classes with her.

Solange Pacheco

Kathy is always happy and prepares her lessons very well. In a short time, I managed to improve my Spanish a lot. She plans classes having the student's goal in mind and is always very dynamic. Thank you very much, Kathy.
