¡Hola! I'm Belén, a Spanish and English teacher from Chile. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Language teaching. Raised in the southernmost zone of Chile, Patagonia. I love latin dancing, traveling, languages & real connections with people.
I love what I do because it gives me the incredible opportunity not only to teach my native language but also to meet amazing people from different corners of the world. Through these connections, I learn from them and their cultures. I enjoy listening to what they have to say about their lives and interesting things happening where they live.
Let's start learning together!
Me as a Teacher
I hold a Bachelor's degree in Language teaching. I've spent 5 years of in-person school teaching and teaching Spanish online since 2018.
With me, you’ll have more than just conversation, you’ll have structure, progress, and tools to make Spanish part of your life.
🌟 I guide you step by step, so you always know what to focus on
🌟 I organize what you learn and show you how to retain it
🌟 I help you avoid wasting time with scattered content
🌟 I stay in touch between lessons for questions or support
As a language learner myself, I know what it takes to keep progressing. I’ll help you move forward with clarity and confidence, and make Spanish part of your daily life.
My lessons & teaching style
Each lesson comes with practical tools to help you remember, review, and keep learning:
🌟Vocabulary list after class, organized by topic
🌟Flashcards made just for you, based on each session
🌟PDF materials and extra practice between lessons
🌟A clear order of topics — no random content
🌟Time to speak, apply what you’ve learned, and get feedback
🎯 My goal is not just to teach you Spanish — it’s to help you integrate it into your life, guide you, and keep the motivation.

I thoroughly enjoy learning Spanish with Belén, and I have made excellent progress with her support, guidance and encouragement. She puts a lot of effort into generating teaching material, tailoring her lessons and the material to my needs and my learning style. We also have a lot of fun in the classes. Belén is an excellent teacher and I recommend her very highly.

I highly recommend lessons with Belén! She's very responsive to your learning goals. She provides an excellent mix of conversational practice and instruction, which is what I was looking for. She seems very knowledgeable as an instructor. And, importantly, she's pleasure to talk with! I've taken online lessons before and haven't always been excited about the classes, but I always look forward to and enjoy my classes with Belén.

I really enjoyed my trial lesson with Belen. She spoke clearly at a level that felt natural but still understandable. I'm looking forward to working with her to improve my Spanish!

Belén is a great teacher! The atmosphere was always very friendly. I learned a lot and gained confidence very quickly.
She adjusts the classes to your needs and answers questions you might have even after the classes end.
What surprised me the most is how much good material she produces herself. She has made videos and podcasts with transcripts that help a lot with training your ears.
Her english is very good, so if you are totally lost, she can explain anything in english.
If you're looking for a competent teacher with structure and empathy, look no further.

I threw a rather long list of random questions at Belen related to odds and ends that were causing Spanish confusion on my end and she answered them very much to my satisfaction. I picked up several new phrases that I know can be incorporated into everyday conversations, so I'm pleased about that. Belen also provided me with a summary of all the new vocabulary we covered in the lesson.
