About Me
italki teacher since Feb 1, 2020InterestsReadingArtWritingTravelMusic
Hello everyone! My name is Paula, I'm a Spanish native speaker who was born in Colombia. I'm a certified teacher in fundamental write and speaking (Spanish/English) (Spanish/Portuguese) and in ELE. I'm also a musician and singer so I really enjoy to spend my time reading and writing content, finding new interesting articles on internet, do some photography and traveling around South America that I really enjoy and feel fascinated to meet new cultures and folklore.
Because of that, new topics and different interests will always be more than welcomed during our lessons.Me as a Teacher
I'm a certified teacher who tries to adapt and add as much personal interest as possible to my classes because I believe that learning through and because of something you love will always be the best and fastest way to achieve your linguistic goals.
I have always been interested in getting to know people from other countries in my travels and this was one of the main reasons that I I started studying to become a language teacherMy lessons & teaching style
I have worked teaching all ages and abilities from adults to young children and I have the necessary experience to adapt and to tailor my classes for these different ages and abilities.
Depending on your necessities I can use different materials or resources to help you reach your goal but in general working on your speaking and listening are my main goals. I like to create a fun, laid-back and engaging environment, where you can build your confidence and not be afraid to make a mistake. Increasing the likelihood of gaining fluency quicker.My teaching material

Paula provides a good mix of free-flowing conversation coupled with structured content. I feel this is a good approach and mix for my current level of Spanish. She is quick to identify weaker areas and has fantastic English to help explain. Give her a chance!

I had an introductory lesson with Paula. She talked and demonstrated her learning style. She uses a variety of resources during her lessons like games, podcasts, reading material etc. I was impressed with her knowledge, patience , and how prepared she was. It was evident that Paula has experience as a professional teacher. If you are looking for a teacher with experience and will personalized her lessons for students, then book a lesson with Paula! She is even willing to help with my Spanish college courses. One of the best. Thanks Paula. 10/10!!!
