My lessons & teaching style
I like to teach in unconventional ways, such as watching movies or TV series, listening to your favorite songs, board games, and using anything and everything around us. My teaching focus is mainly on conversation, along with some grammar and vocabulary. But the most important aspect that I emphasize is FUN!
So go ahead; book a lesson with me today!
Me encanta enseñar de maneras no convencionales como ver tus películas, series, o tú música favorita. Mi estilo de enseñanza se basa principalmente en conversación, junto con algo de gramática y vocabulario, pero el aspecto más importante es ¡ DIVERTIRSE!

Ximena spoke at a level I could understand and helped me learn to say things that I wanted to say. She also shared some learning materials for me to practice with. She is a talented and effective teacher.

My teacher communicates with many educational textbooks.
Above all, the attitude of communicating with and listening to students, not cramming teaching, is very impressive.
She is great language teacher !

Ximena is a patient teacher. She’s upbeat and has wonderful engaging lessons. My child are at different levels of Spanish and she does well to meet their needs. She blends play with lessons for my younger child. She is an excellent communicator by keeping me in the loop of where the children are at and if she needs anything to help with the lessons. I highly recommend her

She was very welcoming and made me feel comfortable. This is my first time taking a Spanish class and I felt nervous but she was amazing. I look forward to learning from her. I highly recommend her as a teacher! :)

Fue una primera clase muy buena, me sentí en confianza y me hizo sentir cómodo en todo momento. Nunca juzgo mis errores y siempre fue muy paciente y linda al corregirme.
