Alejandra Ortegón

Always a great conversation and lesson. The notes after the lesson are always so helpful, and I always have new words to add to my Anki deck. Thank you!

Alejandra is an extraordinary teacher who made me believe that I can master Spanish in my free time after all. I made many attempts previously and nothing worked like Alexandra's lessons. She has a unique gift of being encouraging, engaging, responsive, and able to tailor her lessons to your needs. This is how our work was structured: I have been working with Alexandra for more than half a year, typically meeting twice per week for an hour. I started as a advanced beginner and after 6 months I progressed tremendously. In our twice per week lessons, I practice grammar by conversing ( I usually study grammar on my own, to save time ) while Alexandra provides clarifications, corrections, and activities to make the grammar stick! We discuss topics related to culture and customs which interest both of us, and give us a way to learn more about our respective countries. I have gained a great respect for Alexandra, her country and language. I hope one day we will meet in person! Daniela

As my 16-year-old daughter said, it doesn't feel like Alejandra is a teacher at all: "She's incredibly sweet, and I'm having a great time, but she IS a teacher because I'm learning a lot of Spanish, and I'm speaking a lot." I couldn't agree more. Alejandra is incredibly skilled (grammar, explanations, conversation practice, encouragement, feedback, etc., etc.) and great company. I cannot recommend her enough.

I love our lessons, because Alejandra is a professional and really good tutor. We discuss about different topics in every class and we do grammar exercises. She gives me feedback after every classes, and in this way I could improve my Spanish. She is good person with open heart and I highly recommend her.

I love my lessons with Alejandra! I think she is the best Spanish teacher on iTalki. I have been taking lessons with her for quite awhile, and she is always prepared with lessons for my level. I would recommend her to anyone wanting to learn and improve their Spanish.

Alejandra is the best Spanish teacher on iTalki! She is very knowledgeable about Colombia and always has great and creative activities to do in class. I have been taking classes with her for over a year now and she knows how to challenge the intermediate students like myself. I highly recommend her to anyone.
