Hello everyone! I'm Paula, a native Spanish speaker from Colombia with a deep passion for language and culture. I'm a certified teacher in foundational writing and speaking for both Spanish/English and Spanish/Portuguese, and also hold an ELE certification (teaching Spanish as a foreign language). Beyond the classroom, my life as a musician and singer fuels my love for exploration. I'm always discovering new articles, honing my photography skills, and traveling extensively through South America, which allows me to deeply appreciate diverse cultures and folklore. This rich background ensures that new topics and varied interests are always welcome in our lessons, making every session engaging

Thank you for the Spanish class. I really enjoyed it. You explained everything clearly, and I appreciated the kind way you corrected mistakes. This was only my second lesson, but I already feel more comfortable. I'm looking forward to more lessons with you.

Another great class. Today we had an interesting discussion about music! it was great fun and I really appreciate how Paula writes all of my corrections down so I can study them after the class. I am still learning the basics and I love how she doesn't make me feel silly for constantly making mistakes. This is really helping my confidence grow. Muchas Gracias

It was fantastic to talk with Paula, and the lesson was a great opportunity for me to practice both talking and speaking. I look forward to practicing with her again in future.

Another wonderful class with Paula. Today we practised some riddles to help me learn the rolling of the R's which can be very difficult. Paula was very patient and gave me great advice. Muchas Gracias!
