About Me
Hello! I am a certified Spanish teacher 👩🏽🎓 with wide experience as a medical interpreter 👩🏾⚕️ and as a university teacher and researcher 👩🏽🏫. My teaching approach is based on critical, transfeminist and neurodivergent pedagogy 🏳️⚧️♾️. In my spare time, I play ukulele 🎸, learn to roller skate 🛼 and volunteer at a school run by an immigrant women's movement ✊🏾♀️ in Buenos Aires.
I have 7 years of experience teaching Spanish online and in universities. I have a degree in Linguistics from the best university in Peru and I specialized as a teacher of Spanish as a foreign language in Buenos Aires, Argentina. My methodology is based on a task-based approach, which means that each lesson has a practical purpose: that you can use Spanish in real situations, from shopping at the supermarket to writing an argumentative essay. In addition, I have experience as an interpreter in the medical field, so I can help you learn Spanish for specific professional contexts.

My classes are designed to help you gain confidence right from the start. I focus on your specific needs and tailor each lesson so that you progress quickly and feel confident using Spanish.
Before our trial class, you will receive a short questionnaire so that I can learn about your goals and level of Spanish to tailor our session to your interests.
Book your first class and experience my teaching method. If you have any questions or specific topics you would like to discuss, let me know. And if you don't find an available time on my calendar, I can open additional hours to fit your availability.

My trial lessons
We’ll start by reviewing a placement test that I'll send you beforehand to assess your level. From there, I’ll introduce my teaching approach, tailored to your goals—whether it’s fluency, exam preparation, or professional Spanish. Using the test results, I’ll teach you a relevant topic to address any areas for improvement. My goal is to make you feel motivated and confident to advance in your Spanish skills.
