Currently, I'm a culinary student. I love the gastronomy of my country and cooking. I've been teaching Spanish to students from different countries for 5 years, and it's been a great experience. I enjoy meeting new people and talking about their culture, history, and traditions.
Me as a Teacher
As a teacher, I focus a lot on the pedagogy of love and compassion. Learning is a unique process for each human being, so I believe that combining it with motivational, interesting dynamics tailored to my students' preferences is fundamental to succeed in teaching a language.
My lessons & teaching style
To be honest, beyond the "teaching method," if you truly want to learn something new, you'll achieve it. It's essential that as a student, you genuinely desire to learn the skill you're interested in. Dedicate autonomous hours of work and have a real interest in learning. Thus, learning depends more on you than on me. However, as a teacher, I focus mostly on addressing your weaknesses, engaging you pleasantly with the language, and tailoring content to your interests. I put a lot of effort into helping my students overcome the fear of speaking and making mistakes.

Mónica is an amazing teacher! She is very patient and explains everything very well. She is pleasant to work with and pays attention to your needs. My Spanish has improved significantly since I have been having lessons with her. I highly recommend her.

It’s always a pleasure to talk with Mónica. She’s very friendly and patient and, yet, also pushes my Spanish to the next level.

I am looking forward to another year learning with Mónica! She always creates a comfortable environment and provides clear corrections/explanations. I appreciate that she finds things for us to study or talk about, and asks for my preference for lesson topics. With her as my teacher, my speaking ability and confidence has greatly improved!
