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.
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 adapt to what you need. Each type of class has its own focus and structure, but all share a common thread: th...My teaching material
