About Me

Hi! I’m María, your Spanish mentor and cultural guide.

I help students like you connect with the Spanish language through real life: meaningful conversations, cultural insight and a personalized learning approach designed to make you feel confident and motivated.
I combine my experience as a language teacher, my background in cultural communication, and my Master’s studies in Marketing & Corporate Communication to create learning experiences that are effective, motivating and adapted to each student’s needs.

Over the years, I have worked with learners from beginner to advanced levels, supporting them in improving their listening comprehension, fluency, professional communication and cultural understanding. I don’t just teach Spanish; I help you feel at home in the language. My mission is to help you gain confidence, fluency and cultural intuition — so Spanish becomes not only a skill, but a part of your identity.

I am originally from Puebla, México, where I also work as a cultural ambassador and creator of immersive experiences. This perspective allows me to teach Spanish through stories, emotions and real-world context, not only grammar rules.

My method combines:
🧠 Learning coaching — how your brain learns best, confidence tools, habit formation
🎭 Storytelling & culture — traditions, food, history, everyday expressions
🎧 Real Spanish — listening practice, conversation strategies, natural vocabulary
🌱 Student-centered guidance — goals, challenges, fears, motivation
📚 Grammar made simple and meaningful

Let’s build your Spanish together, step by step.
