About Me
italki teacher since Oct 5, 2018InterestsWritingBusiness & FinanceTravelReadingHistory
Hello! I’m Peruvian, an architect, and a Spanish tutor with experience teaching immigration attorneys and voice-over professionals. Of course, I also teach students (teenagers and adults) with different goals and interests. If you need Spanish for work, school, travel, or simply want to master the language with confidence, I can help you!
My classes blend precise grammar, clear pronunciation, and interesting topics (art, cinema, or even law!). I tailor each session to your goals, whether it's to speak fluently or prepare for formal situations.
📌 I only teach students aged 14 and older.
Here you’ll learn with the patience of a teacher… and the warmth of a friend!Me as a Teacher
In all this time, I have seen the good progress of my students. My goal as a Spanish tutor is that you have the confidence to talk to me and forget that you are learning a new language. My classes are very flexible and adjust to the interests of my students. I also like to converse about different topics. We can learn a lot while we talk. But, the most important thing is that you trust your language skills, never forget that!
I like to use digital tools in my grammar classes with my students. My favorite tool is Google Docs, but you can also propose another tool.
In our classes, we will advance a lot according to your objectives. My lessons & teaching style
I have two types of classes. En mis clases de “Hablemos de todo (en español) ☕” hablaremos de diferentes temas. Estas sesiones son ideales para las personas que tienen un nivel básico-intermedio o avanzado y desean practicar su conversación. En estas sesiones sentirás que estás hablando con una amiga y te olvidarás que estás practicando un idioma diferente.
The 'Spanish Grammar Power 💪' are ideal for people who have a basic level or want to reinforce grammar. In these classes, the conversation will continue to be very important.
I use Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, and Zoom for my classes. But, if you have any other program to proposing it is welcome.My teaching material

I’ve been working with Betina for a couple of years and have noticed my Spanish improving and stretching beyond what I learned in college. She’s especially good at working on my pronunciation and reading fluency. I’ve recommended her to friends and colleagues

This was my trial lesson (30 minutes) and it went really well. Betina was friendly and facilitated the discussion and I felt comfortable talking to her. She corrected mistakes and proposed (easy) material to prepare for the next lesson. Very satisfied.
