Hi there!😀 I'm Lucía, I'm from Costa Rica, I'm 33 years old. I'm a girl who loves nature, animals, mainly cats that are my favorites, in fact I have two and I love them with all my heart. I like to read, to go for a walk, and I love to play chess. Two of my great passions are learning languages (I'd love to learn French and Mandarin Chinese) and teaching my native language to others! This is the reason I'm here because this is something that I really love and enjoy doing!!! 😃
Me as a Teacher
I'm very patient! So don't worry about making mistakes because this is how we all learn.
I like to see that my students try their best in class but at the same time that they feel comfortable knowing that they have a tutor who is patient with them and as someone who also went through a learning process, I understand, accompany and encourage you to move forward and achieve your goals. 😃😃😃
My lessons & teaching style
First I'd like to speak with my student to define what he / she wants to learn, to improve or to practice in the language which means I'd like to know if the person wants to start from the very beginning of Spanish, or if there is a specific topic that he/she she would like to practice, improve, clarify doubts. After having this already defined I would like to use the information that I have prepared about different topics to learn in Spanish.
We will study those documents and I will explain the points of each topic to you. We will have examples, we will clarify doubts. We will practice all what we studied.

I have taken Lucia's classes for over a year and she is always very professional. She encourages me to speak during the conversation part of the class by asking me open ended questions. She has taken the time to learn what vocabulary is relevant to my life and job. She is patient and supportive when I am struggling to think of the words.
Lucia is very knowledgeable about grammar. She explains things clearly in English or in Spanish depending on how comfortable I am with the grammar terms. She put in a lot of thought and effort to make my learning journey successful. I will continue to take classes from her

Lucía is an amazing teacher! I came to her Spanish lessons as an absolute beginner and I really appreciate her structured approach to grammar. All of the nuances of the language are explained in lots of detail and Lucía always provides extra support with follow-up tasks/homework for me to practice.
I have studied many languages in the past but studying with Lucía has been a truly exceptional experience and I am super happy with the speed of my progress in Spanish.

I highly recommend Lucy as an Italki teacher because I just completed her subjunctive course and it was fantastic. I learned much more than I expected because it was far beyond the basics. I could not have chosen a better teacher for this difficult and tricky subject. Lucy has so much patience and doesn't quit until she is sure you understand everything. She is always fully engaged, eager to teach and someone who derives a lot of satisfaction in seeing her students achieve their goals. We both put a lot of work into finishing her course, but it was really worth it. I'm so grateful that Lucy stuck with me until the very end and I look forward to advancing my Spanish further with her by practicing and reviewing what she has taught me. Thank you, Lucy, for your dedication and hard work in teaching me Spanish. If you want to learn Spanish, Lucy is a great choice!

Lucia was very knowledgeable and focused on what I needed to do to accomplish my goals. She was very honest and upfront about what I needed to do and willing to work hard with me without adding pressure. Looking forward to my next lesson. If you're serious about learning, I would recommend Señorita Lucia.

Lucia is awesome. She is very knowledgeable, helpful, and encouraging. She allowed several opportunities for me to practice my speaking. She corrected my mistakes and gave good examples on how to improve my Spanish speaking. She is a very friendly person and made the class very enjoyable. I hope she remains here for a long time because she is one of the best.
