InterestsHistoryFilms & TV SeriesReadingMusicFood
Hi! I'm Mónica from Mexico City. I studied Linguistics and Spanish Literature, and I’ve taught over 5,000 classes on italki. I love languages and my dream is to speak as many as possible. I use a natural, conversational approach so you can start speaking Spanish from day one. I’ll adapt to your pace, goals, and interests — culture, food, music, travel, or daily life. In my free time, I love walking around the city, learning about new teaching methods, and spending time with my family. Let’s make Spanish fun and meaningful for you!

Me as a Teacher
I discovered my love for teaching by helping exchange students at university. Since then, I've combined my passion for Spanish and Mexico City in dynamic, culture-rich lessons. I also give cultural tours, so I’ll share language tips and local secrets too! I focus on helping you speak from day one, using natural methods, patience, and encouragement. Learning Spanish with me means enjoying the process and feeling supported every step of the way.
My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are conversational, dynamic, and based on your interests. We start with useful phrases and vocabulary in context, so you speak from day one. I use methods like comprehensible input (Dreaming Spanish) and Language Transfer to build understanding. I also provide custom materials, practice exercises, and flashcards. I’ll guide you step by step with patience and strategies tailored to your pace. Learning Spanish can be natural, fun, and meaningful!

As usual Mónica is a fantastic teacher. I can notice an improvement with my Spanish and I am excited to improve even more. I am also becoming more confident when I speak and a little less hesitant. I definitely recommend Monica if you are looking for a teacher.

Mónica is an excellent teacher. She is knowledgeable and answers my questions no matter how ridiculous. She also customizes each class based on what I want to work on as well as the areas in which I could use more practice. The homework she gives is useful and interesting. I highly recommend taking a class with Mónica.

Monica is an excellent teacher. She is so friendly I always look forward to speaking to her. She pushes me just enough that I see progress but never struggle. Thanks, Monica.
