About Me
Why learn with me?
- Native speaker with a clear and neutral accent.
- A friendly and patient approach to learning.
- Focus on real-world communication and building confidence.

I’m originally from Colombia, where I grew up immersed in the warmth and richness of Latin American culture. Currently based in Belgium, I’ve experienced the joy of teaching Spanish informally to friends and colleagues from different countries. While I’m not a professional language teacher, my passion for sharing my language and culture shines through in every lesson.

Let’s work together to achieve your Spanish learning goals! Book a session, and let’s start this exciting journey together.
Education
With a degree in International Relations, I bring a unique perspective to my Spanish lessons, combining language learning with cultural and global insights. My academic background has given me a deep understanding of how language connects people, cultures, and ideas. This experience allows me to design lessons that not only teach Spanish but also provide context about Latin American history, traditions, and current events—making the learning process both engaging and meaningful.
Experience / Qualifications
I am a native Spanish speaker from Colombia with a degree in International Relations, giving me a deep understanding of how language and culture connect people. My professional experience in international cooperation and event planning has strengthened my communication and organizational skills, which I bring into my teaching approach. While I’m not a certified language teacher, I have informally taught Spanish to colleagues and friends, focusing on practical, real-world applications of the language.

My lessons are tailored to each student’s needs, blending grammar, vocabulary, and conversation practice with cultural insights about Latin America. I aim to create a relaxed, interactive learning environment where students feel comfortable improving their Spanish and gaining confidence in their communication skills.

Spanish is the second most spoken language in the world. It is the official language in 21 countries: Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Paraguay, Uruguay, Argentina, Chile, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Spain and Equatorial Guinea. More than 390 million native speakers.

Learning Spanish can open up new opportunities for you as you can communicate when travelling to Latin America, Spain or Equatorial Guinea. Spanish can also help you if you want to create new businesses in Spanish speaking countries.

Even today in this global world, some people simply learn Spanish to be able to communicate with the family of their partner or to communicate with a Spanish speaker via internet.

Whether it is for pleasure or business, I love helping my students to reach their individual language goals. I tailor my lessons to you.

I am a private Spanish Teacher from Colombia. I have experience as a Spanish teacher at the university and language institutes. Teaching is my passion and I thoroughly enjoy being a language teacher. I adapt my lessons to my your learning style. I have a bachelor’s degree in Modern Languages from the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana (Bogota, Colombia) and a diploma in Teaching Spanish Grammar as Foreign Language from Instituto Caro y Cuervo in Bogota. We will work together to reach your language learning goals :)Let's start together this amazing journey of learning a new language!
