Hey everyone, I am Lina from Bogotá, Colombia. I'm a lawyer and I'm currently studying a master's degree in teaching Spanish., I like travelling, nature and animals, biking, I am passionate about languages and music, music has been so important in my learning process. Music has always played an important role in learning and culture. It is a fact that the execution of musical instruments, and even singing, help to develop language, memory and attention skills, in the music you can perceive the structures, the tonalities, notes of a musical phrase and the harmony. The process is the same with a foreign language: the language is composed of words formed from sounds.

Lina really checks all the boxes of a perfect language instructor. I tried so many instructors & when I finally found Lina I felt like I struck gold. Her lessons are both structured & conversational, so I am learning very quickly & efficiently. She prioritizes Spanish throughout her lessons, but her english is so good (probably better than mine) that any time I need further explanation of anything, she easily jumps over to english so I can better understand. I'm very impressed with how her teaching style allows me to retain what we covered & improve week over week. She's also so fun to talk to - She's really funny & she always has a big smile. I really look forward to my lessons each week.

Lina is so friendly and very patient. I was so nervous as I had never spoken in Spanish. But she made me feel so much better.

Lina is a great teacher. She types new vocabulary words into the chat, uses visual examples, and discusses what you'd like to improve.
