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.

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

Today Zoila and I practiced conversing in Spanish. We talked about pets and animals, family and places to live. I always learn a lot from my sessions with Zoila

Today Zoila and I practiced speaking with the irregular verbs in the past tense. She also introduce direct and indirect objectives for the next lesson. I always learn so much from Zoila because she asks me questions and I have to respond appropriately in Spanish. She is very patient in teaching me and waiting for me to give the right answer.
