About Me

italki teacher since Sep 4, 2019

I’m an environmental engineer, since I was young I’ve felt a closeness with animals and nature, and I currently fight for their conservation. Throughout my life I’ve had the opportunity to visit much of Colombia, and this has allowed me to not only admire the country’s natural wealth but also to know and interact with the different cultures within the country. I’m a sociable and friendly person and I’m always willing to listen, I enjoy meeting new people and I love to listen to what people from all around the world have to share about their culture, their likes, and their interests.

Me as a Teacher

I’ve been working as a Spanish tutor for the past three years in my university’s writing and speech center. Thanks to this experience, I’ve been able to develop my teaching skills, as I’ve worked with different kinds of people who are working to perfect their language skills in terms of spelling, grammar, and written and oral expression. Additionally, I am a sociable and friendly person, and I have great listening skills as well as patience and understanding when it comes to a teaching and learning process.

My lessons & teaching style

I enjoy making my lessons a welcoming and fun space where students can feel at ease, comfortable, and confident, as I believe that a good environment can make the learning process much faster and easier. I focus on people with an intermediate to advanced level of Spanish. I use diverse materials and I aim to adjust my lessons to the likes and preferences of each person. I focus allowing the student to speak as much as possible, as I believe this is the most effective way to learn and improve the skills necessary to acquiring a new language. Additionally, I currently speak English at a B2 level, which allows me to make my classes more versatile and use the language as necessary.

Absolutely amazing teacher! Speaks slowly, understands the language, understands the mind of a learner, and she's super kind. I've been working with Viviana every weekday for 2 weeks now and have loved every session!

I have been taking Spanish lessons with Viviana every single morning for the last 2 months in anticipation of my first trip to South America. It has been nearly 60 classes now. I came to Viviana not knowing how to speak a single word of Spanish; she taught me from scratch and now has me speaking at a basic conversational level. It is truly amazing what she has done for me. I just commenced my trip to South America and was able to communicate with the locals in Spanish which was an unbelievable experience considering I did not know any Spanish 2 months ago. From the first class, I knew there was something different about Viviana. She is sincere, has great energy, is passionate about teaching, is very patient and genuinely wants to help. She becomes invested in your journey and wanting to see you improve. It is the intangibles that make her such a wonderful teacher. I feel so fortunate to have found Viviana and the Italki community is incredibly lucky to have her! Thank you Viviana.

I trailed with multiple Spanish tutors before finding Viviana, and I'm so happy I've found her. Not a single tutor compared to the care, energy, quality, and customization that Viviana brings to every session. She's an individual that understand that everyone learns differently, and acts upon that belief by customizing classes to suit each students most efficient learning style. Viviana provides clean, organized notes for extra practice and review. After just 15 sessions with Viviana, I was able to travel to South America and comfortably use the fundamentals of Spanish for conversations and assistance/directions. Additional, when I'd show up with low energy Viviana was always able to motivate me with her incredible high energy, personality and a welcoming smile that's always present!
