Hi! I’m Sofía, a biomedical engineer, master’s student, and animal lover.

I’ve been bilingual since I was a kid, and I’ve worked professionally in environments where English is spoken 100% of the time. I have experience teaching languages to children, teens, and adults.

While my approach is mostly conversational, I believe that every person has a unique set of strengths and needs, so I tailor each class to fit the student’s individual pace, learning style and personal interests. I try to encourage you to give your best while keeping it fun and engaging. I’ve worked with children with attention challenges too.

We can meet at your home, work somewhere of your choice, or meet online. Whatever works best for you. My schedule tends to change a lot, so feel free to reach out to check availability.

Learning doesn’t have to be stressful or boring. If you have any questions or special requests, don’t hesitate to send me a message. Trying out a couple of trial classes is a great way to start.

Go for it! Book class with me!

About Me
Hello!

I'm Sofía, a biomedical engineer, a master's student, and an animal lover (I volunteer for animal rescue foundations). I consider myself a patient, curious, and responsible person.

My part-time job is teaching/tutoring. I love helping school-aged children and young adults excel in school while realizing that learning is fun. I have worked with children with attention difficulties. I also teach classes to adults, especially in English and basic programming.

I believe that each person has different abilities and needs, so I tailor my classes to their specific needs. I also take into account their tastes to make them more fun.

I have been bilingual since I was a child, so classes can be in English or Spanish, on any subject.
Education
I am a biomedical engineer who graduated from EIA University in 2019. Currently, I divide my time between studying for a master's degree in health data science and teaching/tutoring.
Experience / Qualifications
I've been working with children and adolescents, teaching English or tutoring any subject for about three or four years. I've taught my adult students English and basic programming.

Hi! I’m Sofía, a biomedical engineer, master’s student, and animal lover.

I have experience offering tutoring and academic support to kids of all ages, across a variety of subjects. I’ve been bilingual since childhood and have worked professionally in 100% English-speaking environments, so we can work in either English or Spanish. My lessons move at the student’s pace, challenging them while showing that learning can actually be fun.

I believe that every person has a unique set of strengths and needs, so I tailor each class to fit the student’s individual pace, goals, and learning style. I also like to bring in their personal interests to keep things engaging and enjoyable. I’ve worked with children with attention challenges too.

We can meet at your home, work somewhere of your choice, or meet online. Whatever works best for you. My schedule tends to change a lot, so feel free to reach out to check availability.

Learning doesn’t have to be stressful or boring. If you have any questions or special requests, don’t hesitate to send me a message. Trying out a couple of trial classes is a great way to start.

Go for it! Book a class with me!

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. ✨

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!
