About Me

italki teacher since Feb 13, 2021

Hola! Hello! Salut! I’m a Colombian, I'm a native Spanish speaker. I'm a publicist with more than ten years' experience in Marketing and Advertising. I always dreamed of occupying important positions in the corporate field. But life has a unique way of changing our plans. That’s how, after two years as a language student, I decided to reorient my career to become a Spanish teacher. I recently recieved my Spanish as a foreign language certification from the Miguel de Cervantes University in Spain. I plan to continue learning so I can teach my beloved language and help students achieve their goals.

Me as a Teacher

For me, knowing the language is as important as knowing how to teach it. That is why I’ve received training to be a teacher of Spanish as a foreign language. This means that I have pedagogical tools to work all the skills and to help you in your learning process. I love to mix aspects aspects of my profession such as creativity and innovation with language instruction. I also like to apply my my knowledge in design to the creation of my own teaching materials.

My lessons & teaching style

My virtual classroom is a safe space in which: - Mistakes are welcome and are seen as opportunities. - Cultural differences and exchanges are valued. - Empathy is practiced. Since it is proven that our brain only learns through emotion, more than Spanish classes, I create learning experiences using various resources that awaken sensations such as storytelling, gamification, humor, music, art and culture. In my sessions there is also a hint of rebellion. I will invite you to challenge the traditional materials, showing you a bit of Latin American slang, so you can also learn how Spanish is normally spoken in the streets, in order to give you a greater understanding of the language.
