I am Zoila García, a dedicated Spanish teacher from Guatemala with over 20 years of experience in language instruction. As the first university graduate in my village, I hold a bachelor's degree in Law and Social Sciences, reflecting my commitment to education and personal growth. My passion lies in bridging cultural gaps through language, offering tailored lessons in grammar, conversation, and homework assistance to meet real-world needs. Outside the classroom, I enjoy walking, reading, watching series, and exploring new cultures. Fluent in both Spanish and English, I bring a flexible and practical approach to teaching, ensuring lessons are engaging and relevant. Let’s embark on this langua
Me as a Teacher
I worked in a Spanish language school for twelve years before starting to work for Italki. I understand very well the problems students have learning a new language.
My lessons & teaching style
I focus on real-life applications of Spanish. I can help you with grammar, homework, vocabulary, conversation, writing practice and anything else you might need. My schedule is open and flexible. I have experience teaching all levels of Spanish from beginners to intermediates to advanced students.
NOTA:
For all my students, because my classes are one after another, Normally my classes start 5 minutes late. To avoid bad blood. Gracias por su comprensión.

I have had a lot of teachers, professors, language teachers in my life and Zoila is the best. She is very skilled, patient, and fun. I am so grateful to have her as my Spanish professor.

There is a reason why so many students have over 10+ lessons with her and some even have 100+... Quality tutor and she is really fun to converse with! Thanks for your help! :D

Zoila is a wonderful teacher, she is very knowledgeable about how to teach Spanish. She pushes me just enough, is very sensitive to my ability to take on homework given that week's work commitments. I love talking with her about our lives and joys and challenges. I highly recommend her.
