After organizing my first two Spanish class groups I am pleased to inform you that I am ready to organize a third group for those interested in learning Spanish. For those who don't know me, My name is Marcela Barraza and I am from Panama City. I moved here with my soon to be husband last year because he is from England and there is a lot of English speaking population here in Boquete. We have made wonderful friends here and we love this area. I never thought this place would be so pleasant. I have a graduate education from the University of Texas at Austin, although my major is accounting and not Spanish. However, I grew up in Spanish speaking schools in which we were taught a very strong grammatical foundation. That together with my English education in the Sates makes me qualified to teach Spanish to all English speaking audiences.
The times would be arranged after interviewing all interested parties and evaluating their particular levels in the Spanish language and coordinating with them their schedules and their particular needs. Right now I have a beginners and intermediate level classes. I can also teach advanced classes when needed. Additionally, I can teach private classes also for those interested.
The prices are $5 per person per class for a group of five to six people, or $10 per person per class for a group of two people. Three people classes would be $8 per person per class and four people classes are at $6. Individual classes are $15. Usually the classes are about an hour to an hour and a half depending on the amount of people in the class. Really I go by the material to be covered and the speed in which the students learn, rather that concentrating on a specified ending time. I try to start on time, however, sometimes between the time the students get here, and we greet each other and begin, it could take us up to about five minutes.
I recently moved to Volcancito so I am able to offer more classes either at my home or if you already have a group and prefer to meet elsewhere is fine with me too.
I can be reached at macimaci1@yahoo.com or 6673-8451. If I am unable to answer the phone or if it goes to the answering machine please leave me a message via whattsapp. I will answer your message as soon as I have the time. You can also post your comments or suggestions in this forum.
Thank you and I hope to hear from all of you.
Sincerely,
Marcela
