As a foreigner living abroad, I can understand how difficult to learn a language can be. Because of this, my classes are oriented to enhance the student’s confidence and fluency.
Given my communications background, I mainly focus in speaking. I also offer a solid grammar program, but always oriented to practical situations in the students' life. For classes, my teaching style is based in the PPP method (Presentation, Practice, Production) - a Communication Language Teaching approach.

✔️ Conversational Spanish
✔️ Spanish for Beginners

I would definitely recommend Dina to other absolute beginners. She is patient, kind, and explains Spanish clearly to those who have no foundation. Dina is very comfortable to talk to. She makes her lessons fun playing mini games that really make you think. I have learned so much in my first few weeks, which makes me surprised and happy.

My daughter has been taking lessons from Dina for some months now, and she really enjoys the way Dina teaches. I have scheduled my daughter lessons with a few other teachers, so she can get a feel for different teaching styles. However, she always asks to go back to Dina. I have seen a remarkable improvement on my daughter’s understanding of Spanish as well as an ever more slightly confidence to speak in Spanish.
