An action completed at a specific moment in the past.
For an action or event that lasted for a specific period of time when you can determine how long the action took place.
For series of actions or events completed in the past even if you cannot determine when these actions took place or for how long.
For actions that are not usually repeated using the following expressions:
expression | translation | example |

darse cuenta de | to realize | Me di cuenta de que estaba equivocada. I realised I was wrong. |

graduarse | to graduate | Me gradué hace varios años. I graduated a few years ago |
morir | to die | Él murió a los 85 años. He died at 85 years of age. |
With these words we will always use the pretérito perfecto simple (simple past):

Hello everyone! My name is Matias Pizarro, but you can call me Matt. I am 30 years old, and I am from Argentina.
At first, teaching online was a challenge, not for the knowledge, the didactic or the way to get to students, but for the whole new set of resources at my disposal and how to use them effectively. The variety of tricks with the camera, magic, puppets, the limit was my imagination; that feeling was really overwhelming. But, as I said at first, I took this as a challenge, a new way of expanding my inner resourses and finally, widening my understanding about teaching.
Working with kids was the most important and significant choice in my professional career as a teacher, because I discovered the real meaning of being an educator. I understood that it's not just about teaching the subject, but guiding and supporting students; being an inspiring person. I like to comprehend teaching by a very beautiful phrase that stands: Be the person that you needed when you were young.
If you choose me as your teacher, I promise that you will learn a lot of things while having a great time together!
See you in our class! Bye!

Hola a todos! Hello everyone! I am Alexandra, native Spanish and Certified Primary Teacher with 10 years of experience in teaching different subjects, especially English, to students of all ages and levels: from little girls to teenagers, adults and enterprises.
I am passionate about education and what I understand as an excelent teacher is one who is committed to the important job we perform by trying to connect with our students, listen and observe them in order to adjust to their personal needs and ways of learning as well as their interests and curiosities. This guarantees a greater connection, motivation and involvement of those students and, therefore, a more optimal and efficient teaching and learning process.
I have been curious since I was born and this leads me to constantly study and learn new things in a self-taught way and through my students. I also have the abilities to listen, observe and adapt well developed. In addition, as I am also a Graphic Designer. Therefore, my materials and methods tend to be self-designed and created, very visual and dynamic and they help me enhance my students' curiosity, motivation and learning.
To ensure that my students learn quickly and efficiently, I use materials that contribute to the content in an experiential, practical and cooperative way. Thus, these are the methods I use the most: experiential learning, project-based and practice learning, collaborative learning, Flipped Classroom and gamification. My materials are not only on paper, but tend to be digital through various platforms and multimedia tools that allow learning, adding and building further on what we are learning as well as my students to be able to collaborate and do projects together. In addition, I try to transfer the practice outside the classroom to real life. All this makes my students learn quickly and significantly while they enjoy all the different activities we are doing.
As you can see, I am very dynamic, creative and innovative. I am ready to start helping you in your learning process of the Spanish (Spanish), Basque or English language, even a basic level of French!
And you, are you ready? See you in our sessions!

(I ONLY OFFER GROUP CLASSES ON HERE :) )
Hello, my name is Rebecca Rygaard.
Recently graduated as a teacher of Danish and English for the primary and lower secondary schools in Denmark, according to the Bachelor's Degree Program in Education, from University College Copenhagen.
I am born and raised in Denmark, and am a native speaker of Danish.
In my teaching I use a communicative approach, focused on having us communicate with each other and produce language to learn it. We will learn both from "input" (what we hear, read) and "output" (what we say, write).
This communicative approach will be focused on "real life" and authentic situations - that means that I'll actually base the teaching on my students lives. I.e. we could be talking about what has brought you to want to learn Danish. There will be authentic language only in this class - not language about hypothetical situations, that you might not ever need.
As part of this method, we'll be using task-based learning - you'll often learn the language through "tasks" in my class, with the point that you'll have to use communication, in cooperation with your peers (or me) to solve them. It's a lot of fun, I guarantee.
You will also be learning about the Danish culture, as I believe culture and language go together, and one cannot be understood without the other (I very much look forward to introducing you to Danish customs, traditions and food).
I'll be focused on your progress, rather your 'errors', as I don't believe in teaching a language by focusing on student's "mistakes", but on their potential. There is an "interlanguage" that is the language that emerge in between your original language, and the language you're trying to learn. And it is only normal that this language is a bit of a mix, that is ever-evolving.
With me, you'll also have the important advantage that I am both a teacher of English and Danish, and therefore know how the languages correlate.
I've learned about all of these aspects "the communicative approach", "task-based learning", "cultural studies" and "interlanguage" and a "functional view on language learning", as a part of my education, and I know they are all a part of recent research in the field.
I have prepared a lesson plan for beginners - which can both be used for group- and single lessons. But I can also create a specifically crafted lesson plan just for you and your needs/level, or if you already know Danish, but just want to improve it.
I hope we meet, and look forward to helping you learn some Danish :)

Hello,
My name is Amina, I’m Mexican, and I have almost 3 decades of experience teaching Spanish, which is my mother language. Regarding studies, I have a major as a Chemist Biologist, a Master in Cytopathology, a doctorate in Education, an FCE certification in English, level B2.
I’ve taught oral and written communication in Spanish to Engineering students, focused on aspects such as formal writing, correct spelling, oral presentations, job interviews and professional skills in general.
So, if you are an English speaker, interested in basic, intermediate or advanced Spanish practice, rest assured that I will be a good choice for you, with a variety of different subjects, whether professional or entertainment-related, depending on your interests.
On the other hand, if you are a native Spanish speaker like me, and you want to increase your practice in the professional use of this language, writing, spelling or oral expression, I am also ready to help you.
I'm looking forward to meeting you and chat about your goals in Spanish.

Hello!
I am Jérôme.
There has never been a better time to learn a foreign language. We all have a good reason to learn at least one: our job, our friend circle, our envy to travel.
I have been training professionals and students to speak fluently and confidently for 10 years. Their level has significantly improved. They have got very good results and evolved professionally and personally!
Is it really necessary to remind you why English is so important? The world’s number 1 language, a must for those who want to be internationally successful. It enables you to communicate with 1 billion people in the world! In other words, whether you want to travel, work or live abroad, speaking English is necessary.
French is a major language, if you want to have a career in tourism, luxury, be a chef or work for international organizations. So many doors open when you speak French! It is the 6th most spoken language in the world, with 300 million people on the 5 continents.
Foreign languages are my great passion in life. That is why I am determined to see you make progress. This is YOUR LANGUAGE COURSE! I will adapt the classes to your needs and your interests and will propose you customized activities. Together, we will improve your written and oral expression. I will train you to speak like a native and take you to the next level.
If you want to speak English or French fluently too, do not hesitate to contact me! I am convinced that you will also have something to teach me!

I attended a Foreign Language High School in Italy and passed the first year at the University (foreign languages and literatures) in Udine, Italy.
I worked in the retail and hospitality industry in the past, assisting guests from all over the world, talking with them in Italian, English, German and sometimes French.
I managed an after-school program for children (elementary and middle school) with a friend, and I taught them how to improve their knowledge of English and German language.
I spent a year in Ireland, first working as an au pair and then as an employee at a corporation, dealing with the American and German markets.
I have recently got a Cambridge English certificate (C2 level) and a certificate for teaching online from Arizona State University. I am currently studying to get a German certificate (C1 level).
I offer English tailor- made lessons for everyone, regardless of age: students and employees, housewives and workers.
Depending on your needs, I can teach you the language starting with the basics, explaining topics which are difficult for you to understand, and having conversations, so as to have a more lively way to communicate.
I like to enrich my classes not only through textbooks, but also through elements taken from everyday life such as films, newspapers, books, and a good dose of creativity.
I am happy and proud to have helped many students to pass their foreign languages exams and to improve their grades, and to be still in touch with some of them.
I would like to be of use to all those who think that learning a foreign language is one more step towards improvement.

Hello everyone! My name is Matias Pizarro, but you can call me Matt. I am 30 years old, and I am from Argentina.
At first, teaching online was a challenge, not for the knowledge, the didactic or the way to get to students, but for the whole new set of resources at my disposal and how to use them effectively. The variety of tricks with the camera, magic, puppets, the limit was my imagination; that feeling was really overwhelming. But, as I said at first, I took this as a challenge, a new way of expanding my inner resourses and finally, widening my understanding about teaching.
Working with kids was the most important and significant choice in my professional career as a teacher, because I discovered the real meaning of being an educator. I understood that it's not just about teaching the subject, but guiding and supporting students; being an inspiring person. I like to comprehend teaching by a very beautiful phrase that stands: Be the person that you needed when you were young.
If you choose me as your teacher, I promise that you will learn a lot of things while having a great time together!
See you in our class! Bye!

Good Day! I'm Edelyn but you can call me Teacher Ed's. I am a License Professional Teacher and a Microsoft Innovative Educator from the Philippines. I have a degree in Bachelor of Secondary Education Major in English. I'm sharing my enthusiasm in Teaching English and Filipino or Tagalog Language for six years.
My teaching style is depends on what my students like and comfortable with because, I believe that even you're a very good teacher if your teaching style is not suitable for your learner they will be having a hard time to understand your lesson.
So, If you want to Learn English or Tagalog, Conversational, Wika or Panitikan (means Grammar and Literature in Tagalog) you can book me as your teacher. See you soon!

Hola a todos! Hello everyone! I am Alexandra, native Spanish and Certified Primary Teacher with 10 years of experience in teaching different subjects, especially English, to students of all ages and levels: from little girls to teenagers, adults and enterprises.
I am passionate about education and what I understand as an excelent teacher is one who is committed to the important job we perform by trying to connect with our students, listen and observe them in order to adjust to their personal needs and ways of learning as well as their interests and curiosities. This guarantees a greater connection, motivation and involvement of those students and, therefore, a more optimal and efficient teaching and learning process.
I have been curious since I was born and this leads me to constantly study and learn new things in a self-taught way and through my students. I also have the abilities to listen, observe and adapt well developed. In addition, as I am also a Graphic Designer. Therefore, my materials and methods tend to be self-designed and created, very visual and dynamic and they help me enhance my students' curiosity, motivation and learning.
To ensure that my students learn quickly and efficiently, I use materials that contribute to the content in an experiential, practical and cooperative way. Thus, these are the methods I use the most: experiential learning, project-based and practice learning, collaborative learning, Flipped Classroom and gamification. My materials are not only on paper, but tend to be digital through various platforms and multimedia tools that allow learning, adding and building further on what we are learning as well as my students to be able to collaborate and do projects together. In addition, I try to transfer the practice outside the classroom to real life. All this makes my students learn quickly and significantly while they enjoy all the different activities we are doing.
As you can see, I am very dynamic, creative and innovative. I am ready to start helping you in your learning process of the Spanish (Spanish), Basque or English language, even a basic level of French!
And you, are you ready? See you in our sessions!
