Amaya is the kind of teacher you look forward to speaking with , not just because you learn so much, but because her energy is simply a joy to be around. She’s intelligent, thoughtful, incredibly articulate, and at the same time bubbly and down-to-earth. Our lessons are always rich in language, laughter, and meaningful conversation. She’s a gem on italki, both as a teacher and as a person.

Every lesson with Amaya feels like embarking on a quiet adventure , one that begins with language, but gently leads you toward something far more profound. You never quite know where the path will take you , a new idea, an unexpected laugh, a shared moment of understanding , but you always arrive somewhere meaningful. Somewhere that stays with you. Amaya has a rare gift: she can take the most ordinary exchange and, with a few words and a spark of presence, make it unforgettable. She weaves learning with warmth, intellect, and a kind of intuitive empathy that’s hard to describe but impossible to miss. There’s something luminous in the way she teaches just honest, alive, and deeply human. Her sessions don’t just sharpen your language; they expand your thinking. They lift you, ground you, and sometimes even shift something inside you. With Amaya, learning becomes more than progress , it becomes perspective. It becomes connection. It becomes a journey you’re genuinely grateful to take.

Amaya is the best teacher on this application. She adapts the classwork to the student’s needs. In our last class, we practiced business English, and she gave me confidence in my business knowledge. I also spoke about my current position and She corrected my grammar mistakes at the end of the session.
