Hi! My name is Nelly Moreno. I was born in Bogotá-Colombia, but I have been living in Mexico City since 2014. I am passionate about studying languages and knowing how they work. For this reason, I studied Linguistics in Bogotá and then I did a Master's degree in Hispanic Linguistics.

My lessons & teaching style
En mis clases, el protagonista eres tú. Por esta razón, los temas y las actividades se adaptarán a tus objetivos de aprendizaje: ya sea usar el español en situaciones cotidianas o emplearlo en contextos especializados. Además de esto, las clases tienen un enfoque conversacional, porque la conversación es el escenario
In my classes, you are the protagonist. For this reason, the topics and activities will be adapted to your learning objectives: whether you want to use Spanish in everyday situations or to use it in specialized contexts. In addition to this, the classes have a conversational approach, because conversation is the original and authentic scenario in which a language is learned.

I’ve had an incredible experience learning Spanish with Nelly. Her teaching style is engaging and patient, which has made complex topics much easier to understand. Nelly creates a comfortable learning environment where I feel encouraged to speak and practice without fear of making mistakes. She’s always prepared with helpful materials and explanations, and her enthusiasm for teaching is truly motivating. I’ve noticed great improvement in my Spanish skills thanks to her dedication and expertise. I highly recommend Nelly to anyone looking to learn or improve their Spanish

Nelly was really good at allowing me to speak and express myself before correcting me. Her explanations were thorough and were at a level of spanish I could clearly understand. She explained enough grammar for me to understand, for example why the subjunctive was best used for a particular sentence. without it slowing the conversation. I know the grammar in theory and can do it in exercises, but it is very different when I am trying to speak. The conversation today with the real time corrections of what i was saying was very helpful. Today she took my clunky expressions and taught me the colloquial expressions for what I was trying to say. This will definitely help me improve my fluency over time without me sounding like I am reading from a textbook. I am looking forward to more classes with her.

After more than 3 years using italki, I think Nelly is the best teacher I have worked with. She has a friendly, engaging personality and I felt comfortable from day one, even when I’m struggling. She is always prepared with content that challenges me just enough. My Spanish has improved a lot over the past 1+ years with Nelly.

Nelly tiene grandes habilidades para animar a los estudiantes para que conversen de temas muy diversos y a la vez que expandan su vocabulario y mejoren el uso de la gramática.
