I am a passionate and bilingual Spanish-English educator with over a decade of experience teaching Spanish across various cultural contexts, including in Moscow and London. As a native Colombian, I bring a rich linguistic and cultural authenticity to my classes. My expertise is reinforced by a solid academic foundation and specialized training in the IB MYP/DP frameworks. I am a Cervantes Institute Certified Teacher and a DELE Examiner, which speaks to my dedication to the highest standards of language education. Above all, my teaching philosophy is rooted in creating a supportive, engaging, and interactive learning environment that fosters a deep love for the language and its culture.
Over ten years of experience teaching Spanish at institutions like Letovo School and Brookes Moscow, with a focus on IB MYP/DP frameworks, form my professional background. Seven years at the Instituto Cervantes involved teaching various levels of Spanish to adults and teenagers. My role as a DELE examiner has enriched my strategies for diverse learning styles. Additionally, extensive experience in private tutoring, especially through online platforms such as Zoom and Skype, complements my ability to offer effective remote language instruction.
Teaching focuses on individual needs, fostering an environment where students feel valued and engaged. One-on-one relationships are nurtured, encouraging free expression and idea sharing. Tailoring lessons for middle and high school levels, clarity in thought and expression is prioritized. Structured yet adaptable, each lesson caters to unique learning styles for relevance and stimulation. A positive, problem-solving partnership based on mutual understanding, respect, and trust is established, promoting continuous personal development in a welcoming atmosphere.
