About Me

Hello! I’m Sandra from Cali, Colombia

I’ve been teaching languages for 25 years and for the past 10 years I’ve also been teaching here on this platform. I’m currently a state school teacher and I’m pursuing a Master’s degree in Teaching English as a Foreign Language. Teaching is not just my profession, it’s my lifelong passion.

I have worked with students of all ages and levels, and I truly enjoy adapting each lesson to the person in front of me. No two students are the same, and your learning plan shouldn’t be either.

My classes are structured but relaxed, professional but warm. I design my own digital materials and personalize your study plan according to your goals. I also integrate modern tools, including AI resources, to give you meaningful practice and effective feedback.

Thanks to my background in journalism and creative writing, I especially enjoy helping students gain confidence in speaking and expressing ideas clearly and naturally.

I’m patient, supportive, and very committed to my students’ progress. From our first lesson, you will feel comfortable and motivated to communicate in Spanish.

I look forward to working with you.
¡Hasta pronto!

My trial lessons

In a trial lesson, I assess your level through a natural, guided conversation. I identify your strengths, areas for improvement, and learning style. You may experience a short sample activity tailored to your level. By the end, you will receive clear feedback and a personalized action plan designed to help you progress effectively from the very beginning.
