Hello! My name is Daniela Cardona from Bogotá, Colombia. I've been having fun for more than 8 years, teaching students from ages 2 to 80. I have a certification in TESOL, and I've traveled around the world finding different ways to approach languages from its roots. All my classes are focused on my students' needs and that's how I developed, over the years, my approach to methodology. First, you're going to acquire excellent conversational skills. Second, we will establish precise grammar rules through clear and real examples during our sessions, and third, but not least, we're going to have a lot of fun while nourishing your vocabulary, everyday expressions, and approaching real-life situations to strengthen your communication. I hope we can be in touch soon!

What Are My Lessons Like?

What curriculum do you follow?

I tend to have my own developed curriculum that I follow, with emphasis on the areas of Reading, Writing, Speaking, and Listening. Each student will have one specific need for learning the language. For me, it is better to start by reading an article or short story in order to gain vocabulary and grammar patterns. I strongly believe the curriculum I follow can be adapted to the student, I mean each student has a different style of learning, so the curriculum needs to be flexible.

How do you plan lessons?

Now, the use of technology is essential. So, lessons should be prepared according to the students’ needs. Having a road map on how to do a lesson is necessary for me. When I say road map, I mean the steps I need to follow in order to have students engaged in the class.

How do you measure progress?

Progress must be evaluated all the time through quizzes, oral exams, worksheets, etc. Each class has a different purpose, so in each class, that purpose has to be tested and understood. There is a website I use in order to have students learn without realizing it. In that way, I can measure progress in a natural state. Also, exposing them to real situations is a good way to create critical thinking in them.

What materials/tools do you use?

As I said, I use websites and technology in general. But not only that, I like to use things that I have in my house in order to teach vocabulary. So, I adapt my room as a classroom with the objective that students have. I use blackboard, flashcards, pictures, videos, gestures, games, and theater. I like to create videos as well to help my students get a better understanding of the Spanish language.

How can you help students with their long-term goals?

Giving them the necessary tools they need. I consider teachers should be also a kind of psychologist in order to understand the process of learning for each student. So, creating a group will be a charming idea for chasing our goals.
