Native Speaker of Spanish and Zapotec, an indigenous language of Oaxaca, Mexico I am originally from Oaxaca, Mexico, and I grew up speaking not only Spanish but the indigenous language of my community, a variety of Zapotec. As a young adult, I moved to the United States, where I learned English. Eventually, I went on to earn my BA in Spanish from the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley and then my MA in Spanish, with a concentration in linguistics, which allowed me to produce a Master's Thesis on Zapotec. At UTRGV, I had the opportunity to not only be a student, but to become a Spanish tutor and teacher, a vocation I fell in love with. I am excited about the opportunity to continue to share my love for my languages and cultures on italki. I have almost 10 years of experience in various capacities helping students learn and practice Spanish. I have worked as a middle school teacher, teaching beginning and intermediate Spanish, and as a graduate student instructor and peer tutor and instructor for university students of all levels.

I came in with some prior knowledge but we still covered basic grammar rules and vocabulary to see where I was struggling. If you have some Spanish knowledge, it's best to come in with an idea of what you need to improve on, so you can create a lesson plan together. However, she can meet you where you're at and provide structure if you're lost. Super sweet teacher with a lot of passion for what she does. I would recommend her to anyone who wants to learn Spanish in a patient and non-judgmental environment.
