Hey everyone! I`m a journalist and native Spanish speaker from Bogotá, Colombia.
I can help you with your Spanish in a fun and easy way. In our lessons, we can talk, and write, but also sing, dance. We will train you to lose your fear of speaking Spanish and be able to correct your own grammar mistakes from the first class.

Karen is one of the best teachers on Italki. She has experience teaching and it shows. Here classes are always very well planned and executed. She uses methods that work very well and I have seen a significant increase in my Spanish in the time that I have been taking classes with her. I would highly recommend taking classes with her.

Karen is an amazing teacher, and more than that, a fabulously intelligent and fun person to have a conversation with! She has given me priceless direction in finding music, podcasts and lectures in Spanish that are stimulating and engaging, and provide fuel for our lessons that fly by. I could not recommend her more highly! Gracias, Karen, y hasta la próxima!

Karen es una profesora increíble! An intelligent conversationalist who knows how to keep the discussion flowing, Karen is always positive, has a smile on her face, and makes each lesson engaging. She is well-prepared for every lesson, and you can tell she wants to help her students succeed. After only three lessons, I am already grateful to have found her! Try a lesson with her. You will be glad you did!

An outstanding lesson. Karen is a great teacher who organises her lessons with great care and attention. She is very kind and also takes the time to understand your personal objectives, interests, and learning preferences. By doing so, she tailors each lesson to be both engaging and enjoyable and helps you achieve your learning goals. I highly recommend Karen if you are looking for Spanish lessons.

Karen is an exceptional teacher who creates an extremely accommodating atmosphere during classes! Even the most insecure student can just relax and simply have fun! The classes are always very interactive, the conversation flows naturally and the teacher is attentive and fully engaged the whole time. We always discuss topics that interest me and even if I'm not prepared for class, Karen always manages to find a topic for us to discuss. I really appreciate the teacher sharing her views and opinions, as well as sharing curious, not obvious materials with me, such as songs, lectures, videos. Overall, I can genuinely, wholeheartedly recommend Karen as a teacher and her classes!
