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.

I have had a lot of teachers, professors, language teachers in my life and Zoila is the best. She is very skilled, patient, and fun. I am so grateful to have her as my Spanish professor.

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

I had a great subjunctive workout with Zoila today! Zoila has so many resources and knows how to choose just the right one!

I had a wonderful grammar lesson with Zoila. She introduced the present perfect subjunctive and provided lots of practice in using it. It was a very satisfying lesson, and I'm looking forward to continuing!

Zoila is one of the best teachers I have ever had. She is extremely knowledgeable in teaching Spanish. I enjoy my classes with her very much. She is unfailingly patient. We have a lot of fun working together, learning, and make jokes in Spanish. I highly recommend her to any student.
