About Me
italki teacher since Feb 1, 2020InterestsReadingArtWritingTravelMusic
¡Hola! I’m Paula, a Colombian Spanish teacher specializing in foundational writing and speaking for Spanish/English and Spanish/Portuguese learners. With an ELE certification and a musician’s ear for language, I blend grammar with cultural immersion—think folklore, music, and travel stories from across South America. Whether you’re starting out or polishing fluency, our lessons will be as vibrant and dynamic as the cultures we explore. Let’s make every word count!Me as a Teacher
As an educator with experience in adult learning, I know your time is precious and you want a learning experience that truly makes a difference. My philosophy is centered on partnership: I am here to guide you on your path to success by respecting your pace and leveraging your existing knowledge. I foster a collaborative and participatory environment where every question is welcome, every challenge is an opportunity, and you feel comfortable exploring a new language. My lessons & teaching style
My teaching approach is highly adaptable and student-centered. I'll personalize materials and resources to align perfectly with your specific objectives. While we'll work on all aspects of language, strengthening your speaking and listening abilities will always be a primary focus. I'm committed to creating a dynamic, enjoyable, and supportive atmosphere where you feel comfortable taking risks, building confidence, and ultimately, accelerating your journey to fluency.My teaching material

Paula is a great conversationalist and gives feedback and corrections while keeping the conversation going. I highly recommend her.

It seems to me that the teacher moved very rapidly into am unknown material, w/o preparing me for it. She wasn't able to convey (to me) what exactly she is expecting me to do. In addition, I believe she was a bit rude, and impatient.

Paula is exceptional. She never let the conversation die and she actively listened, while correcting my errors. I can't wait for our next class.
