Hi! I am from Bolivia, I teach Spanish, my native language. I have been living in many different countries and I have taught many people from around the world, online and in person.
I tailor all sessions to the specific needs of each learner. I'm ambitious for my students and
I love to watch them improve their abilities and confidence.
And you? When would you like to start? Come on! It will be fun!
Me as a Teacher
I consider myself a very supportive and patient teacher.
My sessions are centered in the student, therefore I bring them company, guide and support, but they are the only protagonists who must construct their own knowlegde of the target language in the way that is most convenient for them, that's why, I like being someone very flexible, who gets adapted to the student needs, with the only aim to make it easier and enjoyable this long and not always very easy process of foreing language acquisition.
Like in any other profession, being up to date is very important, so participating in trainings that help teachers to improve their performance in class are always part of my schedule.
My lessons & teaching style
As I said before, my lessons are centered in the student. The trial lessons that I propose have the aim of giving to the students the chance to express their needs and preferences in language learning and their short and long term goals.
Once I have that information, I like to be always well-prepared for each one of them, so I make available the learning materials that I consider more appropriate, I use books and internet resources, but it's me who elaborates my own documents that I will share opportunely with them.
Encouraging the students to speak Spanish from the beginning is also one of my missions; I like offering them a relaxed and friendly atmosphere to facilitate this process.

I have been learning Spanish with Carla for a little over 4 months now, and I am really enjoying it. I am also learning so much. Learning a new language is intimidating, and Carla makes me feel comfortable being vulnerable and speaking, when that is usually not something I like doing. I would recommend Carla to learn Spanish with in an instant.

So I've completed 100 lessons with Carla, and I can tell you that if you're looking for a great teacher on italki, look no further. Her lessons are always entertaining and she is very patient. She is also very good at knowing what areas to work on and will also work with you on things you feel you need to focus on. Like I said, Carla is a great teacher and you won't regret taking regular lessons with her. My Spanish has improved greatly over the time we've been working together.

I absolutely love having lessons with Carla. She is so patient with me and a wonderful teacher. I have learned a lot from my lessons, and she helps me with my pronunciation and vocabulary. I really appreciate her kindness when I have questions. I highly recommend Carla as an instructor. I feel very fortunate to have found Carla so early on in my journey to learn Spanish and look forward to my lessons every week with her.

Carla is an engaging conversationalist. I like that she corrects my grammar, word choice, and pronunciation. Carla takes helpful notes, which are valuable for review. I really enjoyed the lesson. Thank you for teaching, Carla!
