About Me

Ever since I was a little girl, I knew I wanted to be a teacher. Teaching has always been my passion. My experience working with students from young children to adults has given me the versatility to adapt each class to my students’ unique interests and needs—because what works for one person doesn’t work for everyone.

I love creating learning spaces where students feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes, and growing in confidence communicating in the language, with a teacher who feels more like a friend.

In my Spanish lessons, you are the main character. Everything is personalized to you, from the content, to the pace, the activities and the interests you have. 😊

📚 These is what a Caro’s Spanish lesson looks like:

✔ Introduction and Needs Assessment:
We start with a warm welcome and initiate a conversation to understand your goals, proficiency level, preferred learning style, and any specific areas you want to focus on (e.g., grammar, vocabulary, conversation skills).

✔ Customized Learning Plan:
Based on the needs assessment, I develop a personalized learning plan outlining the objectives, topics, and activities for the session. Incorporating materials and resources that align with your interests, such as topics related to your hobbies, career, or areas of passion.

✔ Interactive Learning Activities:
I like my classes to be engaging with a variety of interactive activities.
For example:
Role-playing scenarios relevant to your daily life or profession to practice conversational skills.
Games and quizzes to reinforce vocabulary and grammar concepts in an enjoyable way.
Cultural exploration activities, such as discussing Spanish traditions, cuisine, or literature, to deepen your understanding of the language in context.

✔ Continuous Feedback and Adjustments:
Throughout the lesson, I provide constructive feedback and encouragement to support your progress.

✔Reflection and Goal Setting:
Normally I finish the lesson with a brief reflection session, allowing you to share your thoughts, insights, and anything you found difficult.

I look forward to joining your Spanish learning journey and making it a fun, interactive, and practical path. ✨

I use various resources in the teaching process, including those I find online and those I create myself, depending on my student's needs. My classes range from clearly teaching the grammar necessary for language construction to guiding the process of acquiring oral communication skills, all depending on your needs.
Based on my experience in the educational field, I can say that two of the most important aspects I consider in the learning and teaching process are the student's needs and their learning styles.
I encourage lots of oral communication, however the other three skills are present at any time of the classes. I can prepare and explain any topic you want to consider for your learning process.

In our first class, we'll discuss your goals and preferences, and with this information, I'll develop a personalized plan to accelerate your English learning.
My classes are a mix of grammar, listening, and pronunciation practice. However, I try to focus primarily on speaking so my students feel confident using what they learn in class in the real world. I have found that this methodology has helped my students improve both their language skills and their confidence.
I am a very patient and kind person, and one of my most important goals is for my students to feel comfortable in my classes and safe enough to make mistakes.
I understand how frustrating it can be to learn an additional language, but I'll be with you every step of the way, celebrating both the small and big achievements.

In our first lesson, we will discuss your goals and preferences together, which I will use to make a personalized plan to accelerate your English learning!
My classes are a mix of grammar, listening and pronunciation practice. However, I try to make the main focus of my classes speaking, so my students feel confident using what they learn in class out in the real world. I have found this methodology has in the past helped my students improve both their language skills and improve their confidence levels.
I am a very patient, kind person, and one of my most important objectives is that my students feel comfortable in my classes, and safe to make mistakes.

Casual group setting in a local pub or in my home in Sabaneta. I offer both group and private classes. This is strictly immersion conversation, not a grammer class or ESL prep. I am a native speaker of American English. The idea is to have fun and get comfortable with American English.
