Hi! I’m Vero ⚡️
I’m an ELE teacher and Neurodiversity Coach with over 8 years of online experience. As an ADHDer myself 🤪, I understand how frustrating traditional language methods can feel. They often ignore how our brains actually work.
I’ve also lived in the US for 6 years, so I deeply get the “learner’s struggle” from the inside. That mix of doubt, overthinking, and wanting to express who you really are… in another language.
My approach blends Cognitive Grammar with Coaching. This means we don’t just memorize — we understand. We untangle mental blocks, build clarity, and help you develop your own identity in Spanish.
Why work with me?
No robotic drills. We focus on real conversations from day one.
Brain-friendly learning. Clear structure and visual support without rigid pressure.
Smart and focused. We learn the “why” behind the language so it actually sticks.
This is not about perfection. It’s about expression, confidence, and feeling at home when you speak.
If you’re tired of traditional classes and want a safe, structured space where you can finally trust your Spanish… let’s talk ✨My teaching material

Cognitive Grammar - Spanish Clasess Live - 2024Completion of the Cachito A1, B1 and B2 courses (30 hours each), focused on applying Cognitive Grammar to the Spanish Curriculum Plan (PCIC) of the Instituto Cervantes, according to CEFR standards. This certification required advanced training in communicative methodologies and the design of practical, level-appropriate activities. It enables me to teach Spanish life classes using Cognitive Grammar, helping students build a deeper, more intuitive understanding of Spanish from A1 to B2 levels.

Cognitive Grammar - Spanishclasseslive - 2023Using Cognitive Grammar to teach Spanish is a game-changer, especially for students with ADHD. Instead of forcing them to memorize arbitrary rules (the "what"), I teach them the conceptual mapping behind the language (the "why").

ADHD & Neurodiversity CoachI specialize in coaching students with ADHD and neurodivergent profiles, using Cognitive Grammar to teach Spanish through logic and mental mapping. My approach focuses on reducing cognitive load by teaching language in context, helping students understand the 'why' behind the rules rather than relying on rote memorization.

Verónica is a great teacher. She is professional, friendly and patient. The material she created is very clear and useful. I learned a lot in only 10 lessons with her. I would recommend her "Spanish Trip" package to anyone learning Spanish.

Today we worked on the subjunctive and how the meaning of certain phrases changes when the subjunctive is used.
Veronica's ability to switch into English and explain complicated concepts or translate phrases into colloquial English (or back into Spanish) is a superpower. When I'm truly stuck, she instantly provides a lifeline in English and gets me back on track quickly.
In this class, we also mixed foundational grammar with current events and some realistic colloquial Spanish. The combination is excellent and super useful.
As always, the class was a lot of fun and I'm looking forward to more.

Verónica is a brilliant teacher, very patient but with a lot of fun energy, and has a good way of focusing on areas of your Spanish ability that need the most attention based on how you speak with her.

Veronica is a great teacher - she brings so much energy to each class. She also makes you feel comfortable and is very easy to talk to - but also makes sure to stay focused on what you want to improve on most. I would definitely recommend Veronica!
