Language learning lover and very patient teacher :) I am a professional teacher graduated from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (BA in Teaching English as a Foreign Language) and with an MA in Educational Technology. I have 9 years of experience teaching many different people, from 7-year-old children to senior citizens. I have a lot of experience learning languages as well; I've had the opportunity to learn English, Japanese, French, Italian, Nahuatl, a bit of Russian and German, and I am currently learning Chinese and Turkish. Since I've spent so long learning languages, I understand the hardships students face when they're trying to learn a new language, and for that reason, as a teacher, I am very patient and I like to make sure to help my students whenever they need it :) I like it when my students and I can enjoy our lessons together. So, with me, you'll have a relaxed space where you can learn at your own pace and have fun while you do it. You will be able to practice and improve your pronunciation, writing, reading, and listening skills, as well as your grammar, while we use interesting learning materials through which you will also learn about our Mexican culture.

Great trial lesson, we talked about where my current level of Spanish was and what my goals are. She covered what her sessions are usually like, then we did a small example of what it would look like. Very friendly and helpful. I would recommend you book a lesson!

Lucy is a wonderful teacher: knowledgeable, engaging, and effective. Her knowledge of comparative grammar and vocabulary across many languages makes the lessons particularly helpful and interesting. I've had a few dozen Nahuatl lessons with her and am very happy with the results. The other day I watched a brief video in Nahuatl from the Univ. of Utah and understood everything the speaker said. We're at the point that we read stories in Nahuatl. Lucy can teach in English or Spanish. She has a wide range of teaching material depending on your interests.

I can't recommend Lucy enough! I always have so much fun learning more Nahuatl with her!! She has the perfect balance of teaching/presenting aspects of the language (vocabulary grammar, etc) and letting you try to speak the language, whether it's through reading or encouraging you to answer questions using Nahuatl. She is always kind and patient, even when I ask for a review of certain grammar or vocabulary points more than once. She also shares cultural aspects of the language/the native speakers of the language, and offers comparisons between the different dialects (what changes/stays the same, etc). Overall, I have learned so much from her and I look forward to future lessons!! :)

¡Me encanta todo lo que estoy aprendiendo con Lucy en Nahuatl; cada lección está bien organizada y Lucy siempre me apoya para seguir aprendiendo y practicando el idioma! Le agradezco mucho por enseñar el idioma para mantenerlo vivo =] Lucy has been an amazing teacher; whether you're an English and/or Spanish-speaker interested in learning Nahuatl, I highly recommend taking classes with her, as she does a fantastic job of guiding you into the language as a beginner with organised slides, lessons, and cultural/historical context. I look forward to more classes with her!
