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.Me as a Teacher

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!
