About Me

🎓 Master’s in Spanish | 10+ Years Exp. | Kids & Adults | From Spain to the World 🌍

Native Spanish teacher from the Canary Islands with a global soul.

I was born in Spain, but my passion for languages has taken me to Germany, Costa Rica, Italy, Brazil, Egypt, Malta, and now, Thailand! Having lived in 8 different countries, I don't just teach Spanish; I understand the challenge of learning a new language from the inside out.

With over 10 years of experience (8 of them right here on Verbling), I’ve helped hundreds of students find their voice in Spanish. I am a cheerful, sociable, and restless learner who loves yoga, nature, and arts. Let’s bring that positive energy into our lessons!

✨ Polyglot | Empathetic | Dynamic | Results-Oriented ✨

I believe education is a two-way street. I’m not just here to lecture; I’m here to learn about you while you master Spanish. As a polyglot, I know exactly where the "stumbling blocks" are and how to overcome them.

My Philosophy > Conversation-First:
You learn faster when you speak. We use dialogue to naturally expand your vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation.

✅Adaptability: No two students are the same. I tailor every lesson to your goals, whether it’s for travel, work, or personal growth.

✅Safe Space: I am patient and creative, ensuring you feel confident to make mistakes—because that's how you grow!

My method uses the Lexical Approach: you’ll learn real language "chunks" used by natives, not just dry vocabulary lists.

🛠 Every session includes:
✅ Materials: Tailored PDFs, articles, and videos.
✅ 4 Pillars: Integrated Listening, Speaking, Writing, and Reading.
✅ Feedback: Real-time corrections to sound natural.
✅ Culture: Nuances from Spain and Latin America.

📚 Class Structure:
1️⃣ Warm-up: Bridging the gap from our last lesson.
2️⃣ Active Learning: New communicative tools.
3️⃣ Practice: Real-life context & task-based tasks.
4️⃣ Homework: Optional resources to stay sharp.

Stop studying Spanish and start living it. Book your trial lesson now! 🚀
