Fun Facts

If you take classes with me you will notice that I LOVE stories! There's nothing better than finding a good story in a book, a theatre play or a movie. I'm passionate about my favorite books and movies, which of course makes me a bit of a nerd. Not only are stories my favorite thing, I believe they make teaching way more fun! If you enjoy reading, or perhaps if you're a Netflix junkie, we can have lots of fun finding stuff in Spanish that you'll actually enjoy!

About Me

I am a native Spanish speaker, originally from Spain but familiar with Latin American dialects as well as European Spanish. I attended college at the University of Granada. where I graduated in majored in Comparative Literature, and got my Masters in Spanish at Portland State University.

Experience

I have worked as a private tutor for over 10 years. I have taught Spanish to children and adults in Spain, the UK and the US.
I moved to the US three years ago to work for Whitman College. My responsibilities included tutoring students, and creating spaces where students could practice their Spanish in a fun and relaxed environment.
I recently got my MA in Spanish from Portland State U, where I also taught for two years.
I have been teaching fully online for 6 months now.

Approach

I believe motivation is everything! If you have a strong motivation to learn Spanish, such as traveling to a Spanish-speaking country, that's awesome! I'll tailor my classes to your needs and we'll get there in no time. If you don't seem to have a strong motivation (you just want to pass your Spanish class at school) we'll find one! Let me know what interests you and we'll find a way to make the classes relevant to what you enjoy.
