Me as a Teacher
I am a simultaneous translator with a certification in Teaching Spanish to Foreigners. I have recently completed my Master’s Degree in Linguistics, applied to teaching Spanish as a foreign language. I started teaching English in 2007, and then I decided to guide people in the process of learning Spanish as a foreign language.

I've learned so much from Marcela in a realitvely short amount of time. I would've never imagined that I'd enjoy and stick to my Spanish lessons like I do and become so good at it. And it's really because of Marcela. I've had many teachers in my life and she's one of the best teachers I've ever had. She's EXCELLENT. Marcela has a laid out path and builds one thing on top of the other. Not to mention her easy-to-understand explanations. After introducing a new topic she does exercises with you where you can practice it from all different angles with the focus always being on speaking. She has a wide variety of materials including games, videos, audio sequences, and texts. I'm amazed by the variety and fun she brings into each lesson. Marcela adjusts to the student's needs, is reliable, exceptionally well-prepared for each class, patient and so much fun! And she's just an AMAZING person. I'm so glad I found her!

Marcela has been a great Spanish teacher encouraging me to speak with confidence. We went through many different topics and I managed to learn a wide range of vocabulary and have interesting conversations. I would often give my opinion as a UK citizen and Marcela would give her opinion on her own country - Colombia. If you are looking for a teacher with good energy and patience, look no further!
