Hi! I've spent years creating training content, using adult learning methods to help with workplace challenges.
Many corporate courses tend to be boring. So, I mixed stories, real-world examples, and games to make learning fun. This helped me to make learning engaging and effective.
In 2021, I combined this experience with my literature degree to pursue a passion: helping you find your voice in Spanish.
After getting certified in Spanish instruction, I’ve had the chance to work with amazing learners.
My goal? Help you stop overthinking and start speaking, that’s how you improve.
Things I enjoy: personal development books, photography, writing silly stories for fun (I published a book)
Me as a Teacher
I believe in creating ongoing collaboration with you.
Ideas I apply:
Having a roadmap is important, and your progress helps shape our next steps.
Confidence comes from using the language in ways that are meaningful to you.
Having fun and challenging yourself a little more each time is super important.
A principle I follow when teaching: Embrace mistakes, enjoy them, and outgrow them with intention
My experience: More than 3 years helping students to:
Feel at ease exploring ideas in Spanish without pressure
Grow their skills with guidance and support
Understand and embrace their learning process, even during challenging moments
My lessons & teaching style
We'll meet in our first lesson, where we’ll get to know each other and perform a general assessment of your current Spanish skills.
In the next four sessions, we'll focus on real-life scenarios, identifying your strengths and areas for improvement.
After five classes, you’ll receive a personalized plan to help you move forward with confidence.
Looking forward to helping you!

What a special day today, to be introduced to direct and indirect objects, grammar rules that drive the day to day Spanish conversation. Today’s class has really elevated my Spanish fluency and my confidence.
