When I was a kid and people asked me what I liked the most, I never knew how to answer... I liked too many things I did not want to choose!. Years later, after living in China, Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Peru, India, Germany and the Czech Republic, I found the common thread: connecting people through language and culture.
I lived in Barcelona for five years, a city I know extremely well: its neighborhoods, culture, rhythms, and contradictions. Today I’m back by the Mediterranean, in the province of Barcelona, where I teach Spanish and Catalan and work as a consultant, trainer and researcher in intercultural competence.
And yes… we’ll weave some of that into our lessons too. 😉
Me as a Teacher
I want you to enjoy learning Spanish or Catalan, and to feel that each lesson brings you closer to communicating naturally and confidently.
My students often tell me that I am attentive, patient, and creative, but above all, that I truly listen. I take notes while you speak, identify patterns, and help you understand not only what to say but why native speakers say things the way they do.
Because I’m fluent in English, I can explain subtle differences in meaning, tone, and usage that are often hard to grasp. Many adult learners appreciate this clarity, especially when navigating advanced structures or cultural nuances.
My strength? Helping students understand the context behind the language.
My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are fully personalized.
I never follow textbooks.
Instead, every session is designed around you: your interests, your goals, your pace, your learning style. I work with real-life materials: articles, videos, music, interviews, short texts or podcasts.
We'll focus on:
- speaking confidently and naturally
- expanding expressive and precise vocabulary
- understanding real-world Spanish or Catalan
- reading authentic materials
- developing cultural and intercultural awareness
My added value is that you’ll learn the language as it is truly lived, to speak it, and to interpret the world behind it.
IMPORTANT: My lessons are designed for students with a minimum intermediate level.

Anna is just a delightful person to be with. She is 100l percent concentrated on your success. I love that she is able to connect me to contemporary Catalan music, arts and culture as we progress through our lessons together.

Fascinating conversation as always! We talked for a while, with Anna noting in a Google doc aspects of vocabulary and grammar that I struggled with. Then we took a break from conversation to go over those, then returned to conversation. That alternation worked very well for me. Anna's ability to see what would work well for me, as an individual, showed her skill as a teacher. She also is exceptionally fluent in English, so could explain very subtle differences in meaning between different words and phrases in Spanish.

Tuve una conversación encantadora con Anna. Ella es muy cosmopolita, y ha estudiado y viajado en muchos países. Charlamos sobre su viaje desde Vancouver a San Diego, incluyendo un para en mi isla de Bainbridge Island cerca de Seattle. Gracias, Anna. ¡Charlamos otra vez en el futuro!

Anna is a great teacher because she succeeds in adapting the lessons to the skills and interests of the students with maximum flexibility. She still always helps you advance with grammar and vocabulary aspects without making it boring. Anna can share lots of knowledge about language and cultural life which she includes in the conversation practices.
Open minded and an interesting conversation partner, full recommendation!

Anna is a fantastic teacher who makes learning fun. She is also excellent at finding contemporary texts, music, and movies/series to talk about all the while introducing her student to Catalan culture.

Anna is a fantastic teacher, she makes the Catalan language alive. She is very animated and good at motivating me. Her knowledge of English gives her insight into some language structures that I try to use but which are not appropriate. I highly recommend her. I have studied several languages over many years and know a good teacher when I see one!
