🌍 Hola, future Spanish speakers! 🌍
I’m Natalia, a 31-year-old Nicaraguan ready to guide you on your Spanish journey! With two ELE certifications—one in general teaching and another in online instruction—I’m dedicated to making learning engaging and fun.
When I'm not teaching, you can find me traveling the world, cooking up delicious meals, dancing to vibrant rhythms, or enjoying the great outdoors through camping and hiking. I'm also a huge fan of reading, from novels to mangas and comics!
Join me, and let’s embark on a fun adventure through the Spanish language and culture together! ✈️💃📚Me as a Teacher
With over 5 years of experience teaching private Spanish classes to both English and German speakers of all ages, I’m excited to help you on your language journey! I lived in Germany for some years where I was able to deepen my teaching skills, as I guided children and adults in mastering Spanish.
Whether you're starting from English, German, or looking to refine your Spanish at an advanced level, I’m here to tailor lessons just for you. Watching my students grow, confidently speaking, understanding, and reading Spanish brings me immense joy!
Let’s unlock the beauty of the Spanish language together! 🎉📚My lessons & teaching style
My teaching method is all about YOU! Whether you want to dive deep into specific topics or explore your interests, I’m here to make it happen—you're the boss! I focus on creating engaging conversations while mastering grammar, ensuring our classes are lively and productive.
