About Me
italki teacher since Sep 24, 2015
Hello, my name is Andrina (you can call me Andri) , I’m a native spanish speaker from Veracruz, Mexico, and I would love to help you practice spanish!
I have a Bachelor's degree in Languages, a Diploma in teaching Spanish as a foreign language (International House) and a Diploma in teaching English as a second language (Angloamericano).
I worked as an English teacher for eight years to groups of all levels and ages (from elementary school to University), and I have been teaching Spanish in italki for about five years now and enjoying it thoroughly.
I love traveling, learning languages, eating! and relaxing at home with my pets.
Me as a Teacher
I am pretty laid-back, I like to listen and keep the conversation going. I look forward to talking to my students everyday, getting to know them and witnessing their progress. I try to make my lessons fun and relaxed, since what I enjoy most about teaching is having a good time with my students while they learn.
I would be happy to assign homework if that is something you would appreciate.
My lessons & teaching style
We can work with a structured Spanish course or I can help you with informal practice. I like to incorporate aspects of mexican culture in the lessons from time to time (or as often as the student wants). We can practice all your language skills or focus on whichever you prefer; my students usually let me plan things for them as I see fit but I encourage you to tell me in as much detail as you want what you would like to prioritize (for example, if you're studying for a test, or you're traveling soon, etc.).
Finally, I am very flexible with rescheduling as long as I get a little heads up :)
If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me.
Hope to see you soon!

Andrina is a gifted teacher. She can detect what you're struggling with and zero in with targeted lessons on the topic. She’s able to make lessons challenging but not frustrating. My Spanish is much improved after a few months. I’ve also learned some English grammar from Andrina. I’m convinced her English is also stronger than mine.
Our lessons are fun. We laugh a lot. I’ve learned a lot about Mexican food, fun and culture. I've searched out Mexican bakeries, restaurants, books, movies and TV shows based on our lessons. It's fun to return and discuss my latest findings and adventures.
Andrina has been my teacher for several months. She is someone I look forward to reconnecting with each week. I send her pictures of my family and the things we do each week. Reporting on my what I do each week has helped me to improve my ability to conjugate past tense verbs. At this point is more than a teacher. She is a friend.
If you're looking for teacher recommend Andrina.

I've taken five lessons with Andrina now, and she is always such a great and patient teacher. I am happy that I picked her to learn from. It's great to have someone to learn from who is so knowledgeable and makes the class fun and interactive. Excited to take even more lessons from her in the future!
