My name is Vanesa Zapata. I'm 29 years old, I'm from Medellín but right now I'm living in Argentina. I'm here doing my professional studies to become a professional Spanish teacher. I'm very patient. I have a lot of respect for this profession so I try to improve every day and learn as much as I can. I keep up to date with the latest language education programs and methods. About me: I love art - every kind of art - but my favorite art forms are theater, drawing, and dancing. I really enjoy spending time with my friends and family and I love to have conversations about anything and everything. I want to open my mind and connect with the whole world to understand it better!

I’ve only had a couple of lessons with Vanesa so far, but I can already see what a huge benefit she’ll be to my Spanish journey. I’m an intermediate learner who still gets lost in conversations and struggles to say things correctly, but Vanesa is already helping me push past those hurdles. She has a great way of spotting the specific types of mistakes I tend to make—like in our last class, she helped me work through my “por vs. para” confusion, even while we chatted about a range of topics. That kind of targeted correction is exactly what I’ve been looking for. She’s easy to talk to, patient, and really knows how to support Spanish learners. I’m looking forward to taking more consistent lessons with her!

Vanesa is very patient and gives me great feedback and encouragement during our sessions. I’m already learning so much. I am an independent learner, so her explanations and the way she breaks things down really helps me know what to study in my free time. I’m only on my second session with her, but I think I’ve finally found a great teacher.

Attention to detail is Vanesa’s superpower. She listens closely to every sound and helps me perfect my pronunciation. With her patient guidance and clear explanations, it’s easy to improve. I can already feel the difference in how I speak. Definitely a game-changer for my pronunciation practice!

Vanesa always tries to give me ways to orally practice verb conjugation. She is very patient and encouraging.

Vanesa had me create alternate endings for a video we watched, so I learned A LOT of vocab (which also means she was very patient with me while I tried to explain my creative thoughts). Today’s class was super engaging and fun. As always, 1000/1000 will recommend ☺️
