Living in Bogota, Colombia

I'm a chemical engineer with additional studies in safety and occupational health. I also studied teaching Spanish as a second language (ELE). I'm from Bogotá, Colombia. I have been teaching Spanish on Italki for more than 10 years because I enjoy it. I teach Spanish from A1 level to C1 level. Typically, I use "The Ultimate Spanish Review and Practice" book as a guide, as well as real resources from the internet such as videos, songs, photos, and information about Colombian culture and tourist attractions. Recently, I obtained my certification as a tour guide to make my lessons more culturally enriching. I have been teaching Spanish for more than 10 years in Italki. I teach Spanish from A1 level to C1 Level. Usually, I use as guide the book "the ultimate Spanish review and practice and also, resources from internet as videos, songs, photos, and information about Colombian cultural and tourist places. I love seeing my students enjoy the lessons. I can tailor the lessons according to their interests. Additionally, I incorporate real and cultural materials to teach the language. I have more than 15 specialized books in Spanish teaching, covering general grammar, pronunciation, and training tests. In every lesson, I can provide exercises tailored to your Spanish level.

Practicamos la pronunciación de 'r' y 'rr'. Es un poco difícil para mí, pero me pongo mejor después de practicar. Es muy útil. ¡Te veo pronto!

Dayana is a really talented teacher! The pronunciation class is a mix of conversation and pronunciation exercises. She makes the class easy and fun, and the practice has helped my accent a lot!

I’ve been making a lot of improvements! I’m speaking more confidently with her now during our classes, and I found myself able to help someone at work yesterday who spoke Spanish but not English. Dayana has been so helpful and I can’t wait to continue taking classes with her!!
