About Me

I’m a native Spanish speaker from Colombia. I moved to the United States when I was 16 years old, and I’ve been teaching Spanish ever since. I love helping people learn a new language, and I’m always looking for new and innovative ways to make language learning fun and effective.

I’m also a big fan of travel, and I’ve been fortunate enough to travel to many different countries worldwide. I believe that travel is one of the best ways to learn about a new culture, and I’m always looking for new opportunities to experience different cultures through language learning.

My Teaching Philosophy

Everyone can learn a new language, regardless of age, background, or learning style. Learning a new language should be fun and rewarding. My teaching philosophy is based on the following principles:

  • Communication is key. The goal of language learning is to be able to communicate with others. I focus on teaching my students how to use the language in real-world situations.
  • Practice makes perfect. The more you practice, the better you will become at speaking a new language. I give my students plenty of opportunities to practice speaking, listening, reading, and writing in Spanish.
  • Make mistakes. Everyone makes mistakes when they’re learning a new language. I encourage my students not to be afraid to make mistakes. Mistakes are a natural part of the learning process.
  • Have fun! Learning a new language should be fun. I create a positive and supportive learning environment where my students can feel comfortable taking risks and making mistakes.

My Resources

I offer a variety of resources for Spanish language learners, including:

If you want to learn Spanish or are taking a Spanish class at your school, college, or university, I hope these resources help and support you wherever needed. I want you to learn Spanish in a fun, easy, and engaging way while becoming more confident in speaking Spanish. My blog and channel are made for you, whether you need extra help for your Spanish exams, want to communicate with Spanish speakers, or plan to travel to a Spanish-speaking country. My lessons cover vocabulary, grammar, Tips and tricks, Culture, and more!

If you are a Spanish teacher or a professor, I am super excited to share these resources with you! I believe in collaboration and helping each other with the intent of helping our students.
