About Me
italki teacher since Dec 21, 2021InterestsFoodPets & AnimalsMedical & HealthcareTravel
I am a very calm person, I really enjoy silence and nature. I love spending time with my family and my close friends. I love to travel, so I lived two years in the United States as an au pair and I enjoy traveling arround my country . I like to learn about various subjects and I really enjoy learning and teaching languages.
My goal as a teacher is to create a space in which students have the opportunity to have an enriching experience that transcends academic boundaries. Especially as ELE teachers, I think that the cultural aspects of our country and of Spanish in general are inherent to teaching. From my personal experience I know that learning a new language implies acquiring a new vision of life and expanding our consciousness to a world of new possibilities and that is what I always try to convey to my students.
I am a very flexible teacher and the first thing I do is to identify the level and needs of my students.
Likewise, I really like that my students suggest topics to develop the classes and generate spaces for dialogue on various subjects such as cultural differences.
Also, I am from Colombia so you will listen to my Colombian accent and I will teach you local vocabulary. However, I always try to contextualize and explain other ways of expressing something that exist in other Spanish-speaking countries.My teaching material

Teaching experience
2024 - Current
Profesora de EspañolCurrently, I am a teacher at a rural public school, where I work with teenagers between 11 and 17 years old. I teach Spanish to students in 10th and 11th grade (the last two years of high school in Colombia) and some additional subjects such as English and Ethics in other grades; as part of the adaptation to the context in which I work.
2021 - 2023

Profesora de Español en ItalkiBy January 2025, I will be completing 3 years of working on this platform. It has been a very rewarding experience in which I have had the opportunity to meet students from different countries, some have stayed with me and others have left as a natural part of life's journey. If you are reading my profile, you are probably very interested in taking your learning process very seriously. I cannot assure you that I will be your ideal teacher, but I try to be as authentic and sincere as possible wit

I just completed my second lesson with Yenny. She is wonderful! She is able to help me structure sentences and remember grammar. I am a beginner so I am piecing together my sentences very slowly. She is incredibly patient but also politely corrects me when I need to. I am looking forward to many classes with her.

Yenny is friendly, accommodating, and exceptionally helpful. Given that my goal is to effectively speak Spanish in casual conversations, I couldn't ask for a better instructor.
