About Me
italki teacher since Jul 22, 2021InterestsMusicWritingEnvironment & NatureTravelArt
I'm a certified Spanish (ELE) teacher from Colombia with over 5 years of experience guiding students of all ages from around the world. Teaching has been an incredibly rewarding journey, and I'm excited to keep sharing the beauty of language and the richness of Colombian and Latin American culture. 🇨🇴
Language lover, fluent in English and French, currently immersed in Portuguese, and dreaming of learning a new language each year. When I’m not teaching, I’m living life as an artist: traveling, writing, singing, playing ukulele, and dancing.
I believe communication is key to creating a more conscious and loving humanity.
I'm always seeking to connect with the essence of life. 🌻Me as a Teacher
As your teacher, I care deeply about connecting with the human essence behind your story, your motivations, your dreams, and what moves your desire to learn.
My priority is to keep you motivated and help you feel empowered in your learning process. I encourage genuine curiosity so you can develop the autonomy to explore, ask questions, go deeper, and fall in love with Spanish, not just as a language, but as a path to expression and connection.
I believe language learning is also a journey of self-discovery, and I’m here to accompany your personal transformation.
In our classes, you’ll always find a safe space to be yourself, and I’ll always be here to truly listen to you. 🦋 My lessons & teaching style
In our classes, you'll become a confident and independent Spanish speaker. I always tailor each session to your level, goals, and learning style.
Each week, I design a personalized plan with daily activities using music, journaling, videos, readings, and even AI tools. The materials change weekly based on your progress and personal interests.
With my background in marketing, I love using creative and visual resources to make learning dynamic.
My goal is to help you reflect, go deeper and connect with the language in your own voice. We also improve pronunciation and fluency in a clear and enjoyable way. You’ll receive ongoing support and personalized feedback to express yourself naturally.My teaching material

I couldn't be happier with my Spanish lessons, and it's all thanks to my amazing teacher. I've been learning with her since December, and every single session has been a joy.
Right from the start, her friendliness made me feel completely at ease. Learning a new language can be intimidating, but she creates such a warm and welcoming environment that I always look forward to our lessons. Her patience is truly remarkable. she never rushes me, always takes the time to explain things clearly, and is happy to go over concepts until they click.
What truly sets her apart is her dedication to always having a weekly plan. Each lesson is thoughtfully prepared, building logically on what we've learned previously. Yet, despite this excellent structure, the lessons always feel incredibly free-flowing and natural. It's never rigid or dry. instead, our conversations evolve organically, making the learning process feel effortless and genuinely engaging. I highly recommend her if you want to improve.
