Hi there! My name is Marcela and I am passionate about teaching Spanish. I live with my family in a city in northern Colombia called Montería. In my free time, I like to go out with my friends to eat or cook something delicious at home. I am an easy-going and family-oriented person. Come join me and learn about me and Colombian culture!

I am a simultaneous translator with a certification in Teaching Spanish to Foreigners. I have recently completed my Master’s Degree in Linguistics, applied to teaching Spanish as a foreign language. I started teaching English in 2007, and then I decided to guide people in the process of learning Spanish as a foreign language.
Soy traductora simultánea con una certificación en Enseñanza de Español para Extranjeros.
