About Me
I am Carito, your Spanish teacher :)
My name is Carolina. However, most people call me Carito. I am a Spanish teacher for foreigners and I am from Colombia. My mother tongue is Spanish. I have also learned French, Italian, Portuguese and English.
I have experience as a Spanish teacher at Sergio Arboleda University and in language institutes in Bogota and Oslo. Teaching is my passion and I thoroughly enjoy being a language teacher. In the years I have been abroad, I have worked with students in one-on-one lessons. I have lived in Hungary, Brazil, England, Germany, and Norway.
I have a bachelor’s degree in Modern Languages from the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana (Bogota, Colombia) and a diploma in Teaching Spanish Grammar as Foreign Language from Instituto Caro y Cuervo in Bogota. I also made an exchange in Brazil to learn Brazilian literature, grammar and pronunciation of Portuguese in the Pontifical Catholic University of São Paulo (PUC-SP).
Besides, I have a Master’s degree in outdoor education called Transcultural European Outdoor Studies (TEOS). This master's degree was awarded by Erasmus Mundus. I studied at the University of Cumbria (England), the University of Marburg (Germany) and the Norwegian School of Sport Sciences (Norway).
