 Hi, I'm Maribel, I live in Peru and I'm a Spanish language coach at LinguaMeeting.

00:00:05.418 --> 00:00:10.258
 I'm studying a master's degree, so I decided to look for a job online.

00:00:10.258 --> 00:00:16.998
 The truth is that looking for a job in person for me at this moment is impossible because

00:00:16.998 --> 00:00:19.238
 the traffic in Lima is incredible.

00:00:19.238 --> 00:00:24.678
 It can take from two to three hours there and the truth is that I need a lot of time

00:00:24.678 --> 00:00:28.618
 to be able to study and also to generate income.

00:00:28.971 --> 00:00:37.491
 I need to sustain the expenses of my master's degree and also generate income to be able to sustain my stay in Spain,

00:00:37.751 --> 00:00:44.691
 because in the last cycle of the master's degree they ask you to travel to Spain to be able to carry out your professional practices.

00:00:45.091 --> 00:00:50.151
 So definitely looking for an online job was the best decision.

00:00:50.151 --> 00:00:51.811
 And fortunately I found LinguaMeeting.

00:00:51.811 --> 00:00:57.211
 From that moment on I felt calm and I was able to study successfully.

00:00:57.726 --> 00:01:01.266
 and also balance that time with work.

00:01:01.446 --> 00:01:06.486
 I have also had the opportunity to meet different students from different parts of the world,

00:01:06.486 --> 00:01:11.286
 share with them my culture, my anecdotes, my own experiences,

00:01:11.586 --> 00:01:16.106
 and they also share with me everything that surrounds them,

00:01:16.106 --> 00:01:19.006
 like their family and their own experiences, traditions.

00:01:19.326 --> 00:01:24.366
 And the truth is that we have a very good time together and after six or 12 sessions,

00:01:24.625 --> 00:01:35.245
 I feel that I know them a lot and that they know me, even if they want to come to my country to know them more closely and also not only in my country, but in other Spanish-speaking countries.

00:01:35.627 --> 00:01:42.667
 The truth is that Lingua Mirim is a very important source of income for me, for my studies and for my family,

00:01:42.667 --> 00:01:52.747
 but it also allows me to create this wonderful bond with students, which is really gratifying to see how they start at the beginning a little shy,

00:01:52.747 --> 00:02:03.147
 but then the confidence and motivation grow a lot and this for me is the best, it is pure joy to see how a student makes an effort

00:02:03.674 --> 00:02:11.014
 to speak a language that is not their own and that feels interested in knowing another world, another culture, is really gratifying.

00:02:11.794 --> 00:02:21.674
 Linguameeting has definitely supported me in different stages of my life, both personal and professional, so the words I have for them are only thanks.

00:02:22.994 --> 00:02:26.794
 That's my story and I'm very happy to have shared it with you.
