My name is Vanesa Zapata. I'm 29 years old, I'm from Medellín but right now I'm living in Argentina. I'm here doing my professional studies to become a professional Spanish teacher.
I'm very patient. I have a lot of respect for this profession so I try to improve every day and learn as much as I can. I keep up to date with the latest language education programs and methods.
About me: I love art - every kind of art - but my favorite art forms are theater, drawing, and dancing. I really enjoy spending time with my friends and family and I love to have conversations about anything and everything. I want to open my mind and connect with the whole world to understand it better!
Ich als Lehrkraft
I really enjoy teaching and sharing my knowledge, in the same way I like to learn from others. All my life I have been a student, and I intend to be a student the rest of my life.
I finished a certificate in Teaching Spanish as a Foreign Language ELE to improve my teaching and methodologies. This whole process has given me many tools to teach you a new language.
I love the Spanish language and I already know what are the basic things to learn a language.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
I have prepared activities to help you on this new path. Basically, with listening, reading, writing and speaking. Basic rules in Spanish language, vocabulary lists, some books easy to read, conversations and songs.
With Vanessa we focused initially on learning how to express myself in the past tense. It's still difficult for me to remember spontaneously the different endings. However, on a recent trip to Spain I felt much more comfortable trying to speak and people understood me. It's been great having someone like Vanesa to practice my skills because she's patient and and puts you at ease.

I’ve only had a couple of lessons with Vanesa so far, but I can already see what a huge benefit she’ll be to my Spanish journey. I’m an intermediate learner who still gets lost in conversations and struggles to say things correctly, but Vanesa is already helping me push past those hurdles.
She has a great way of spotting the specific types of mistakes I tend to make—like in our last class, she helped me work through my “por vs. para” confusion, even while we chatted about a range of topics. That kind of targeted correction is exactly what I’ve been looking for.
She’s easy to talk to, patient, and really knows how to support Spanish learners. I’m looking forward to taking more consistent lessons with her!

Vanesa had me create alternate endings for a video we watched, so I learned A LOT of vocab (which also means she was very patient with me while I tried to explain my creative thoughts). Today’s class was super engaging and fun. As always, 1000/1000 will recommend ☺️
