My students not only go on to make new friends, but acquire new critical views that become very useful when searching for new professional or creative opportunities.
I use a communicative approach and I highly value students' personal experiences when creating a lesson. I love to teach all ages, from beginner to advance.
About Alex P.
I have a Master degree in Romance Languages (Spanish and Portuguese). I use a communicative methodology, which emphasizes interaction, so you will learn in context (asking for coffee, or talking about your family), and a student centered approach, which is based in your personal goals.
My class includes an e-textbook (open source) and all practice material. Most of all, I hope to get to know my students and have fun in the process of teaching and learning. And yes! any question is a good question, feel free to contact me. Click the icon above under " Ask Alex a question."

My 10 year old looks forward to lessons with Ms Alex. Alex is a calm, organized and enthusiastic. My daughter was excited about her Spanish reading lesson on the topic of Chile. I was impressed and glad Ms Alex incorporated interesting culture lesson into class. My daughter is excited to learn.

I had the pleasure of being Professor Alex Parada's student last spring. Not only was she incredibly kind, but she also taught with an energy that made it more comfortable for me to speak Spanish without losing confidence. She was a very encouraging professor who valued student input and made learning Spanish more interesting by covering real-world topics. Estoy muy agradecida por mi tiempo como su estudiante.
