As mentioned, I believe having a native grasp in both English and Spanish is an advantage. It allows me to easily translate idiomatic concepts and expressions that don’t have literal equivalent from one language to the other. I can draw meaning from my native understanding of both languages (and my experience in using both in daily life) to find the right examples and the closest translations from the source to the target language. I studied linguistics and, even though it is generally not required for a language teacher to be trained in linguistics, there is a growing number of experts in the community who believe it's a huge plus. I've drawn countless knowledge from it to teach.

Certified Spanish and English teacher with more than 7 years of experience I have experience with teaching online as well as in a traditional setting. Being a language learner myself, I know what the most common challenges are when learning a language and the most successful ways to overcome them. In addition, both my undergraduate studies as well as most of my jobs required me to have an impeccable use of Spanish and English, which proved to be very useful when helping other people to learn these languages.

Cambridge CELTA certified English teacher with a bachelor's degree in Spanish I found my passion for teaching while in college when I quit my part-time job at a restaurant bussing tables. I followed the advice of a friend, who was a tutor, and started tutoring students for some extra cash. I tutored students in my major, which was Spanish, and eventually began helping English Language learners, as well. I found it to be such a rewarding experience; I loved it! I have worked with native speakers of Spanish, French, Italian, Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, and Arabic and I have found that everyone has a unique perspective. Since graduating with my Bachelor's degree in Spanish, I have had wonderful experiences teaching English in schools in Spain & France.

Beginner Spanish for Real Life 🌎 | Speak with Confidence in Latin America Moving to Latin America—or simply want Spanish you can actually use in real life? 🌎 I help beginner Spanish learners build the speaking and listening skills they need to navigate everyday situations with more confidence. In our lessons, you’ll practice Spanish for things like: • asking for help and directions • shopping, ordering and everyday errands • meeting and connecting with people • understanding and responding in real conversations You won’t spend our lessons memorizing long vocabulary lists or listening to me explain grammar for an hour. I’ll give you the tools and support you need, then guide you to notice patterns, make connections and discover what you can already do with the Spanish you’re learning. And mistakes? They’re part of the process. You don’t need to feel confident before you start speaking. We’ll build that confidence together, one conversation at a time. I know firsthand that studying Spanish and being able to LIVE in Spanish are two very different things. My own Spanish truly developed when I began using it in everyday life while living in Latin America. I’ve taught nearly 5,000 lessons on italki since 2016 and have a degree in Linguistics from UC San Diego. My goal is simple: help you build Spanish you can actually use when you need it.

Mi experiencia como profesora principalmente fue en un cuarto de clases; pero, las lecciones que daba eran materias relacionadas con mi profesión de abogado. Posteriormente, conocí la página de Italki, fue un nuevo desafío y estilo; así que, poco a poco me fui enamorando de esta nueva forma de dar lecciones. En cuanto a mi destreza como profesora en el idioma español la adquirí por haber nacido en un país de habla hispana, estudiado y trabajado en la Corte y una Universidad en mi país

Hi, I'm Catherine and I love languages because through them I can get to communicate and know people from other countries and cultures. I try to live a creative and happy life every day, and I always wear a smile, I can't help it. I like traveling, movies and music. I'm originally from the Dominican Republic and I live in the United States. When I was young, some of my favorite subjects in school were languages. I always found English or French class time exciting. Other great experiences in my youth where when a friend from another country would come to visit and we would share our culture. My teaching style would be informal and mostly conversational. We can talk about everyday life. For my lessons, I first would want to know what my students want but I can also prepare fun subjects to talk about.

    Carolina is wonderful. I want to work on answering phone calls in Spanish and she had slides with common phrases and cultural variants for different countries and has set up role plays. Exactly what I needed. You can tell she listens to your needs and plans things to suit your specific learning goals. She is also warm and welcoming and makes you feel at ease while learning and practicing.

    I’ve been having classes with Marta for over a year now and can’t recommend her enough. I’ve had many Spanish teachers over the years and almost never leave reviews, but Marta is genuinely exceptional. She’s very personable and easy to talk to, so the classes always feel natural and enjoyable, but I’ve also learned a huge amount from her. She’s played a big part in improving my Spanish and I’d recommend her without thinking twice.

    Josue is an exceptional Spanish teacher. During each of of our classes, I have found him to be thoughtful, attentive, and he also has a great sense of when to correct me or introduce a new concept without interrupting the natural flow of conversation. I especially appreciate how organized he is. During each lesson, he keeps track of the grammar, vocabulary, and concepts we cover, then spends the last few minutes reviewing them with me. It’s a simple approach, but it makes a big difference in helping me retain what I’ve learned during each session. Josue is also genuinely kind and easy to talk to. I never feel intimidated or self-conscious about making mistakes. Instead, his encouragement motivates me to keep improving and reminds me why I’m learning Spanish in the first place: to communicate with others and better understand the culture.
