¡Hola!
I'm Gema, a certified Spanish teacher from Mexico with international teaching experience. 📚
More than just a teacher, I'm your guide to learning Spanish in a practical, fun, and personalized way. In my classes, we explore real-life topics, music, culture, and everyday situations so you can start speaking with confidence from day one.
Whether you're looking to improve your fluency, get ready for a trip, or simply enjoy the learning journey, I'm here to support you.
I've worked with students from all over the world, and my lessons feel like friendly conversations: relaxed, dynamic, and always centered around your goals. 💬🌍Me as a Teacher
I'm patient, considerate, and deeply dedicated to teaching. I truly cherish every moment in the classroom, and nothing brings me more joy than seeing my students gain confidence and make meaningful progress in their Spanish learning journey.
My focus is on creating a fun, interactive, and welcoming environment where every student feels inspired, supported, and motivated to achieve their language goals.
【Late for lessons】
Even if you are 5 or 10 minutes late, the end time is the same.
If you do not appear within 15 minutes of starting the lesson, the lesson will end and you will be charged one lesson fee. My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are tailored to each student’s Spanish level and learning goals. Whether you prefer dynamic, conversation-based sessions with interactive activities or a more structured approach, I’m here to support your journey. My top priority is helping you make consistent progress and feel confident along the way.
You’ll have the flexibility to learn at your own pace. I use a variety of resources—including images, songs, articles, social media, videos, games, and exercises—carefully selected to match your objectives. Together, we'll build a fun, engaging, and personalized learning experience that fits your needs.My teaching material

I had a really great listening comprehension session with Gema. She found a creative way to get me more listening practice with audio clips. I'd been struggling with my ability to understand faster conversations and retaining information. This lesson was interactive and really helped me sharpen my ability to understand Spanish.

I'm learning a lot from Gema. I would say if someone really wanted to make progress learning Spanish, they should take lessons from her. She's not easy, but you really learn.
