With over 10 years of experience and 20,000+ classes on iTalki, I offer expert Spanish and English lessons tailored to your goals. I specialize in helping students achieve rapid progress—guiding many from A1 to B2 through personalized, engaging lessons.
I teach teenagers and adults, focusing on grammar, conversation, or travel. In our first session, we will assess your level and create a custom roadmap. Whether starting from scratch or refining your fluency, I adapt to your pace and interests, like tech, travel, sports, culture, or cinema.
I am flexible, passionate, and committed to your growth. Ready to start a linguistic journey made just for you? Book your first lesson today!
In our first lesson, I'll chat with you to understand your language level and find out where you need help. We'll also figure out what your future lessons should focus on. Some of my students quickly progressed from A1 to B2, showing that with the right effort, big improvements are possible. I'm open to giving homework when needed.
I teach teenagers, young adults, and adults eager to learn. Unfortunately, I don't teach young children. Looking forward to helping you on your language journey!
I create classes based on what you need. Whether you're starting from scratch, working on grammar, or just practicing speaking, we can customize the lessons. I'm very flexible and, most importantly, I enjoy teaching.
