Lucas Machado

Hello, I'm Lucas! I'm a teacher who is passionate about teaching the Spanish language, and I also have basic knowledge of several languages, which can be useful during class. I'm committed to making learning dynamic, easy, and meaningful. I use creative methods to make learning fast and effective, by exploring culture, conversation, and grammar in a comprehensive way. As for me, I'm kind, responsible, and polite with very good values. My goal is to inspire students to delve deeper into the language and develop the language with attitude and passion! I have worked with groups of different ages and skill levels, from beginners to advanced students looking to hone their language skills. Over 3 years developing new learning methods to give my students the opportunity to learn the language in an easy, dynamic and fun way. My approach is never limited, I seek to integrate technology and multimedia resources to make lessons of excellent quality and very engaging. I firmly believe that learning a language should be a fun and meaningful experience. Also, as a teacher, my main goal is not only to impart language knowledge, but also to foster a love for Hispanic culture, especially Argentina, and motivate my students to explore the world through Spanish. I hope we can share many exciting educational experiences during this year. See you in class! In short, I'm going to explain my methods to you. They are super simple, easy and quick to learn. I'll just keep it short because the first introductory class is when I talk about these topics in more depth to get to know you and your goals in a special and clear way. My methods are summarized as follows: learn a wide vocabulary of words with their meanings (both formally and informally) *work with simple sentences and texts (to continue learning a wide vocabulary of more extended words) we will work on listening comprehension we will work on reading comprehension we will work with grammar activities (if you need them) and the most important point is this: we will work a lot on conversation (and at the same time applying the previous points) with a specific and dynamic method that only I have and that I have not seen in other teachers. I will show you this method in the first class!
