Certified Professional Teacher from Spain, teaching from 2002 BACK FROM MATERNITY LEAVE 14th SEPT 2026, ✅Enthusiastic teacher and language learner ✅19 years teaching Spanish, including 4 at Penn State University ✅Fluent in English ✅BA in Spanish ✅Graduate Certificate in Spanish Teaching to Adults. I love sunsets on the beach, nature, and my family. Music has guided my life in both my languages - Spanish and English. When I was a child, it was music in Spanish that made me passionate about the different accents of Spanish from around the world. And it was music in English that gave me the dream of becoming fluent in English at some point. ✅Enthusiastic teacher and language learner ✅ 22 years teaching Spanish, including 4 at Penn State University ✅ Fluent in English ✅ BA in Spanish ✅ Graduate Certificate in Spanish Teaching to Adults. Not feeling confident? See my profile for more. When I finished my Bachelor´s degree in Spanish Language and Literature, I moved abroad because I wanted to teach my language while learning English. I taught Spanish in the USA at 3 universities. BACK FROM MATERNITY LEAVE 14th SEPT 2026 The real purpose of learning a language is COMMUNICATION, therefore, my lessons are dynamic, interactive, with the emphasis on speaking and listening. However, this doesn't mean that you don't need to study grammar rules, or that I won't explain grammar concepts to you in English if needed. I try to use topics that are closed to my students' lifestyle.

I have been doing lessons with Carmen for almost 4 years now. That itself should be a great review.

I love working with Carmen! She is very good at teaching you how to speak Spanish in a more colloquial manner, as well as teaching you phrases and expressions that are used all the time in Spanish in colloquial speech, but are rarely taught in traditional language classes.

Carmen is an amazingly gifted teacher who always manages to explain even the most difficult topics clearly. We do lots of different activities so her lessons are never boring. Most important of all, when I’m finding things difficult, get tongue-tied and forget nearly everything I knew, she has a way of making me smile and laugh, and that’s when I really start learning.

Mucho gusto Carmen. Se nota que tenés mucho entusiasmo y harto ganas de hacer que tus clases sean lo más dinámicas posible. Espero que nuestra clase haya sido un buen comienzo para volver a disfrutar de hacer clases en la plataforma después de tu pausa por el permiso de maternidad.
