About Me

👋 ¡Hola! ¿qué tal? 👨‍🏫 I’m a multilingual, qualified language coach and enthusiast with over 4 years of experience teaching Spanish to adults.

► See what I offer:

🌎 Full immersion into Latin American Spanish
📝 Feedback sheet with mistakes & corrections sent to you after class.
🔊 Accent reduction and speaking practice.
👍 Presentations with grammar structure and tips + exercises.
🎴 Flashcards to use on the platform.
📓 Homework to practice outside of the classroom.
📆 Flexible schedule during the week and weekends.
😄 A fun learning experience!

►What areas can I help you with❓

✔️ Pronunciation - I am an experienced accent trainer.

✔️ Daily Basic Spanish - I will provide actual words and sentences used by native speakers.

✔️ Life Abroad - As an immigrant myself, I know this experience well.

✔️ Work-related Spanish - I have a BA in business and experience in various fields. I can tailor your lessons to your career needs.

✔️ Motivation - I will encourage you and help you build confidence to learn and maintain conversations in Spanish.

✔️ Multicultural Interaction - I can offer guidance for breaking language barriers and connecting to your family heritage, partner, or friends.

►What are my qualifications and previous experience❓

I have experience with adults of different levels and backgrounds. I have also worked as a translator, a language expert, and consultant, as well as developed curricula and content for an EdTtech start-up.

I am currently creating videos, quizzes, language level tests, infographics, and more, for my own project. We will use them in our classes as they come out, but you can also use them on your own. ¡Te gustarán!

►What is my style❓

Immersion: We will speak Spanish from class number one. This may sound scary at first, but it actually helps a lot. I am happy to use English to clarify some statements but in general, the immersion method allows you to think, see, feel, hear, -and eventually speak- as a native would. With this, we will beat our #1 language enemy, fear - ¡miedo!

Personalized Lessons: I plan fun, personalized, and engaging lessons with relevant topics. I am very flexible and patient so we will follow your pace but at the same time, I will make sure you meet your goals.

Student Satisfaction: This is very important to me! I am here to act as a coach but this is YOUR journey. You have control of what and how you learn.

►Are you still unsure and have additional questions❓

¡No te preocupes! Why don’t you try out a free trial lesson? For 30 minutes, we will have the chance to talk and clear up any questions you may have. You can also read my reviews or contact me directly if you have any other questions
