Hola!
My name is Itzel. I'm from the city of Guadalajara, Mexico but I currently live in Germany after spending 6 years in Sweden, where I obtained my bachelor's degree in Linguistics. Languages are a big part of my daily life, but when I'm not teaching I like to read, learn new things, travel and knit.Me as a Teacher
I love teaching and I love my native language, that's why I decided to become a Spanish teacher.
As a language learner myself, I know that everyone has different learning styles so I like taking the time to learn what works best for my students so that we can adapt our materials and lessons to be as enjoyable and efficient as possible. My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are tailored to each of my students. During our lessons my main goal is for you to practice your conversational skills, expand your vocabulary and to learn something new every time.
I am fluent in English and Swedish, so while I prefer to use Spanish as much as possible, I can also give insights and explanations in these two languages.My teaching material

Como siempre, me encantan mis lecciones con Itzel! He estado tomando clases con ella desde marzo y puedo atestiguar el hecho de que ella es una gran maestra! Ella es paciente, amigable y sabe cuándo intervenir cuando me falta una palabra, necesito ayuda con la gramática, o quiero un equivalente en español de un dicho en inglés. Tomo lecciones de conversación con ella y siempre tiene preguntas interesantes para mantener la conversación fluyendo. La recomendaría a cualquiera sin dudarlo!

Itzel is smart, engaging, and encouraging. We have finished around 40 classes together and my Spanish has improved immensely. Grateful to Itzel for her creative lesson planning and enthusiasm.
