About Me
italki teacher since Jul 26, 2016
InterestsFoodHistoryTravel
My name is Zoila García. I was born in Guatemala, the fourth of eight children. I like to walk, read, cook and to get to know new cultures. I speak a good amount of English. I have a bachelor's degree in Law and Social Sciences and was the first woman in my village to graduate from university.
Me as a Teacher
I worked in a Spanish language school for twelve years before starting to work for Italki. I understand very well the problems students have learning a new language.
My lessons & teaching style
I focus on real-life applications of Spanish. I can help you with grammar, homework, vocabulary, conversation, writing practice and anything else you might need. My schedule is open and flexible. I have experience teaching all levels of Spanish from beginners to intermediates to advanced students.
NOTA:
For all my students, because my classes are one after another, Normally my classes start 5 minutes late. To avoid bad blood. Gracias por su comprensión.

Con la ayuda de Zoila pude entender un problema gramatical que me inquietó mucho desde hace unas semanas. Gracias!

There is a reason why so many students have over 10+ lessons with her and some even have 100+... Quality tutor and she is really fun to converse with! Thanks for your help! :D

Speaking in Spanish is very hard for me! I listen and read well, but when I speak the words just leave my mind! However, Zoila made me very comfortable and I found it a lot easier to speak to her...and not awkward at all when I couldn't think of a word or made a mistake.

We had some technical difficulties at first (issues with sound and receiving messages in the chat) but we had a good first class! I asked to work on talking in the past and we did a lot of different activities for it!
