Hello! I’m a Colombian teacher specializing in *sign language* Spanish and tailored lessons for kids and deaf learners. We’ll use music, games, and inclusive methods to make Spanish vibrant. With patience and creativity, I’ll help you thrive. Ready to learn joyfully?Me as a Teacher
I am a good teacher because teaching is a passion that makes me happy. I love seeing the sparkle in the eyes of a person learning something new. I love children and I love teaching them. Also, I enjoy working with all kinds of people including deaf people or people with disabilities. I also have experience with youth, adults, and seniors.
Enseñar es una pasión que me hace feliz. Me encanta ver el brillo en los ojos de una persona que aprende algo nuevo. Amo a los niños y me encanta enseñarles a ellos. Además, disfruto de trabajar con todo tipo de personas incluidas las personas sordas o personas con capacidades diferentes. También tengo experiencia con jóvenes, adultos y personas mayores. My lessons & teaching style
I adapt to the pace and capacity of each student. My classes are a pleasant time to learn. Through didactics, pedagogy taught so that each student, according to their circumstances and needs, can learn. Friendly conversation and laughter are key when learning a language so this is also part of the classes.
Me adapto al ritmo y capacidad de cada estudiante. Mis clases son un momento agradable en el que se aprende. Por medio de la didáctica, la pedagogía enseño para que cada estudiante según sus circunstancias y necesidades pueda aprender. La conversación amigable y la risa son claves a la hora de aprender un idioma así que esto también hace parte de las clases.My teaching material

I had a great first lesson with Shirley! She was easy to talk to and understand. The class flew by, which I always think is a great sign. I look forward to more classes in the future and recommend her to other learners.

Shirley is a great teacher. She is great at adjusting her conversation level to mine minute by minute. She's very versatile and a great language partner.

I was so nervous in my first lesson with Shirley, but she does such a great job motivating me to keep talking by asking questions and is super patient and positive when I can't find a word and lose my train of thought. The time always flies by!
