Profesora de español, magíster en inteligencia emocional y PNL ¡Hola! I’m Paola, a native speaker of Spanish. I teach Spanish and literature to children, teens, and adults. I'm ready to help you to learn one of the best options of speaking Spanish that you can achieve: the neutral accent of Bogotá, Colombia. I love languages and teaching.

Paola is an absolutely outstanding teacher, and I cannot recommend her highly enough! She brings an incredible amount of positive energy to every lesson and has a genuine passion for helping her students improve. I’ve taken italki lessons for a few years with various teachers, and Paola is among the best teachers I’ve learned with. What sets Paola apart is how thoughtful and intentional her teaching is. She provides fascinating homework assignments, videos, articles, and movies that challenge me to improve my Spanish and then discuss in class. Studying Spanish with Paola has not only accelerated my Spanish skills, but it has actually given me new insights into my own life regarding taking chances to explore new adventures, and continuous personal growth. In conversation, she is remarkably patient and she offers insightful corrections without interrupting the natural flow of communication. If you want to have fun improving your Spanish I highly recommend taking lessons with Paola!

Paola is the best teacher you could find anywhere. Her passion shines through each class. I have been taking classes with her for over 3 years now and I still look forward to our weekly classes! She continues to give me new challenges each week. She is sweet, patient, motivating and always supportive. I have come a long way in 3 years and I owe almost all of it to Paola. Absolutely the best! thanks Pao!

If you are reading this, this is your sign to register for a class. Paola took me from ¿Cómo estás? to full hour long conversations in Spanish. She will make you feel like you are her only student. I guarantee it.

I've noticed a real difference in my confidence communicating in Spanish since I've started working with Paola, both in our classes together, but also when I have to chance to speak in my day to day life. She asks perceptive questions, provides thoughtful feedback and has lots of fun ideas for projects to help stretch and grow my Spanish. My class with Paola is one of the best parts of my week, I always look forward to it :)
