About Me

👋🏽 • 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!

Me gusta muchísimo trabajar con ella, hablamos sobre temáticas que me interesan y le da cuenta de mis errores y puede apoyarme en todas partes de mi lenguaje. Me encanta que hablemos sobre la cultura de Colombia, sobre temáticas actuales y geopolíticas, pero también le importa la gramática. Muchas gracias!

¡¡Mariana es la mejor profesora de español! Hablamos de todo -- literatura, cultura, gramática, lo que sea; es muy flexible. Estudio literatura hispana a nivel bastante avanzado y Mariana me ha editado de maravilla varios trabajos míos. Entiende muy bien la gramática. ¡Estudien con ella!! :)
