Along with my arts education background and my experience teaching in schools and universities, I’ve also spent several years offering free Spanish practice to international guests at my guesthouse. Working with travelers of all levels has given me a very practical, real-world approach to teaching.

I focus on conversation, useful vocabulary, listening skills, and building confidence. This experience has taught me to adjust the pace, difficulty, and topics to each learner—whether they’re complete beginners or working on fluency.

My method blends guided conversation, clear corrections, interest-based topics, and everyday situations like ordering food, describing experiences, or navigating travel. I always keep the environment friendly, patient, and motivating.

This mix of formal teaching and hands-on practice with foreign learners allows me to help students speak Spanish naturally and confidently.
