About Me
italki teacher since Jan 12, 2017
You don't know me yet, but my name is Flor -- and I'm your new Spanish fairy godmother! I am a native speaker with a clear and neutral accent (Peru). I specialize in helping people get past a language learning plateau to reach conversational fluency! I discovered a passion for helping others to learn Spanish when my daughter-in-law, an American, came into our family a few years ago. She asked me to help her learn, and I was happy to provide resources and plenty of speaking practice for her! Later, I had the opportunity to volunteer at a language school in Colorado, where I often participated as a Spanish conversation partner and Peruvian culture advocate.
Me as a Teacher
I believe in an immersive language learning approach, which makes me the perfect person to learn Spanish with. Effectively, my teaching method is best for those who can communicate at a basic Spanish level or above.
My lessons & teaching style
My qualifications include extensive grammar and literature classes at San Martin de Porres University here in Lima that were taken as I pursued a Journalism degree. I have owned a business, and worked in the financial sector. I have taught over 7,000 lessons in italki as a teacher. I’m ready to help you with a structured and professional lesson plan. More than accomplishments, however, my temperament helps me to be a good teacher! I am a very patient and kind person who will do everything she can to help you learn.

It is always a pleasure to be working with Flor. Anybody who hasn't tried out working with her is missing out on a great opportunity to learn Spanish. She knows a lot about the language, speaks very clearly and can teach any level. I've been taking classes with her for a long time now and my Spanish has improved a lot. She is a great teacher!

I had another wonderful lesson with Flor! She is truly an incredible teacher. She can structure lessons to fit my needs and help me practice various constructions and tenses. I feel like her lessons are really helping me a lot, and I enjoy speaking with her, too! I highly recommend her classes to anyone who wants to learn Spanish in a fun and effective way! ¡Muchas gracias y hasta la próxima! :)

I worked on reading articles that were very interesting to me. I should read aloud more often. I usually have to give my opinion on a controversial subject.
