Hola!
My name is Vicenta and I am a Spanish teacher. I live on a famous tranquil lake called Lago Atitlán in Guatemala. I taught private lessons locally and now through Italki am able to connect to rest of the world. I enjoy teaching both my native languages, seeing my students advance and sharing my culture.
Me as a Teacher
I have taught Spanish locally for 9 years. Where I live most people speak Tz'utujil at home and Spanish out of the house. The Guatemalan Spanish accent is very clear, neutral and has a pleasing cadence. It is slower, deliberate and we pronounce all the letters, which is a kinder transition for beginners and a more universal foundation around the world.
My lessons & teaching style
My teaching style is based on many hours of real time experience with people of all levels. It is difficult to fake teaching one on one. You, the student, can feel if you have advanced or not.
We find the level you are at and move form there. We continue with a new lesson and integrate that into your previous knowledge. I try to have lots of conversation, keeping engaging discussions with topics that are relevant to you and the new material. The more engaged everyone is, the easier it is to retain new information. With this approach there is no pressure and when you read my comments you'll see I approach every student with care, patience and kindness.

My daughter has been taking lessons with Vicenta for a couple months now and today she met a man who spoke Spanish and she was so excited she could understand him and hold a good conversation with him! Thank you Vicenta! You have been instrumental in helping us learn Spanish!!

Challenging, fun, a little bit frustrating (because of my 60 year old brain LOL), and very rewarding!
Vicenta always surprises me with the amount of patience she shows when I struggle to overcome this Texas accent and learn proper pronunciation!

Vicenta is a great teacher. She is interested in you progress and talks about issues that are important to you, while teaching at the same time. She uses a conversational style, which is the best way to learn. I will continue to learn with her each week.

Vicenta gives you clear explanations and encourages you to apply the rules she explained. She is a careful listener, she gently helps you to fix your mistakes and that's important to improve. She is able to stimulate the conversation in a very natural and spontaneous way. Gracias Vicenta!
