👋🏽 • Hey, guys! I’m Mariana.
A Colombian, paisita, born in the city of Medellín. Completely in love with Spanish and the magical world we encounter when we explore different cultures. I studied from 2015 to 2020 Bachelor of human sciences and Spanish Language and I’ve been a full-time teacher for over 5 years.Me as a Teacher
My classes are 100% contextual and adapted to the needs and interests of each student. I prefer to generate real conversation situations and connect the 4 essential skills to learn a new language: reading, writing, listening and speaking. I know how frustrating the process of learning a language can be - because I felt it when learning English - and so in the Spanish lessons with Mariana:
🧘🏽♀️ • There is tranquility, fun and professionalism.
💃 • There’s room for mistakes and we celebrate them.
💬 • There is much patience, useful activities and practice.
📍• Remember that the most important thing is how you feel most comfortable learning!My lessons & teaching style
Learning a language is exploring, discovering and feeling a new culture. For this I use authentic materials such as videos, social networks, news, games, articles, flashcards, photographs and presentations so that each time, step by step, you are closer to your fluency in Spanish.
🌞 IMPORTANT 🌞
My frequent students have access to a private community in Google Classroom where we share ideas in Spanish outside the classroom.
Do you know what your level of Spanish is? If you are not sure, write to me and I will send you a quick and easy online test that will help us evaluate it.
✍🏽 • I hope to see you in class and explore the Spanish-speaking world together!Certificates

I've been working with Mariana for about 9 months now, and my Spanish has improved so much since I started working with her. She is so helpful and encouraging! I especially appreciate that she has good exercises, topics, and homework for advanced students (B2-C1), which can be hard to find on iTalki. However I would certainly recommend her for students of all levels :)

I love working with Mari. She is so kind and patient, and really helps me a lot with my grammar. She explains things in a way that really helps me, and I've noticed changes in my speaking over the last few weeks of working with her intensively. For context, I am an upper intermediate/advanced Spanish speaker. I feel confident that I will reach my goals with Mariana

Mariana is a really great teacher, she is patient and happy to answer any and all questions when they arise. Previously I could often feel embarrassed when speaking Spanish, but in my lessons with Mariana she creates a comfortable environment that has allowed me to become more comfortable making mistakes (which she always helps to me to identify) and therefore more confident when speaking. She’s organised with content but also happy to allow conversation to flow around topics in the lesson plan which makes for a more natural feel. I look forward to more lessons - thanks Mariana!
