About Me

Hi! I’m Natalia, a certified English and Spanish teacher from Spain, currently living in a beautiful mountain region surrounded by nature. When I’m not teaching, I love hiking, painting, and exploring new cultures—intercultural exchange has always been at the heart of who I am. Having lived in England, Japan, the UAE, Lebanon, and Germany, I bring a rich, global perspective to every lesson.
My background in child development and children’s rights allows me to go beyond grammar and vocabulary. I understand learners as whole individuals, and I create safe, inclusive spaces where every student—regardless of background, ability, or learning style—feels seen, supported, and empowered.Me as a Teacher
With nearly 10 years of international teaching experience, I’ve worked with students of all ages—from young children taking their first steps in language learning to professionals navigating global careers. I hold a degree in Childhood and Youth Studies, a TESOL certification, C2 Proficiency in English, and several Cambridge training certificates.
Inclusive education is a core passion of mine. I’ve completed specialized training in supporting learners with ADHD, dyslexia, and autism because I believe education should be accessible to everyone. I also completed a course on Family Engagement in Education , which helps me guide parents to actively support their children’s learning.My lessons & teaching style
My lessons adapt to what you need. Each type of class has its own focus and structure, but all share a common thread: they’re creative, inclusive, and student-centered.
I believe in supporting every learner, so I tailor content to your goals and learning style. You'll also have access to your own online folder, where you can track your progress, review lesson materials, and stay organized between classes.
Whether you're aiming to feel more confident in a new job abroad, preparing for an exam, or simply improving your everyday communication, I’m here to help make that journey inspiring—and empowering.My teaching material

I have been learning Spanish from Natalia in Italk for more than one year and it has been a great experience. She is a very thoughtful teacher who puts a lot of thought into how she presents the material. Her lessons were engaging, useful, and she was very patient with me in class always encouraging me as a student to try. I would highly recommend her to anyone interested in learning Spanish.
He estado aprendiendo español de Natalia en Italk durante más de un año y ha sido una gran experiencia. Es una maestra muy considerada que piensa mucho en cómo presenta el material. Sus lecciones fueron interesantes, útiles y fue muy paciente conmigo en clase, siempre alentándome como estudiante a intentarlo. La recomendaría a cualquier persona interesada en aprender español.
أنا تعلمت اللغة الإسبانية من ناتاليا في Italk لأكثر من عام وهي تجربة جدا رائعة. ف نتاليا معلمة متمكنه للغاية تضع الكثير من الجهد في كيفية تقديمها للمادة. دروسها جذابة ومفيدة ، وهي صبورًا جدًا معي في الفصل وتشجعني دائمًا كطالب على المحاولة. فأن أوصي بها بشدة لأي شخص مهتم بتعلم اللغة الإسبانية
