¡Hola! My name is Daniela and I am a Spanish teacher and musician from Costa Rica. A bit about me: I have been living in the Netherlands for almost 7 years. I have spent 3 of those years teaching Spanish mostly to Dutch people, but also to people from other nationalities. I am a professional musician as well who specializes in Latin-Caribbean Music, and that's why I like to always give my language lessons a cultural approach! As a teacher I have more than 8 years of experience teaching both music and Spanish, and I like to have a positive enforcement approach with my students, focusing on the process and looking at the individual needs of everybody! If you are curious and want to start learning Spanish, just leave me a message. ¡Vamos!

About Me
My name is Daniela and I am a cross-over violist from Costa Rica. I moved to the Netherlands in 2020 to do my studies in Classical Music and Latin Music (Viola) at Codarts Conservatory in Rotterdam. I am now at the end of my studies and during these years in the Netherlands I have played in many different projects from different musical styles: classical orchestras and chamber music, pop and jazz orchestras, like the Jong Metropole and have experience playing and recording with different pop, jazz and world music bands. Currently, I am the band-leader of my own latin project called La Reunión, member of a latin band called Las Hienas and working as a freelancer with different musical projects. Before moving to the Netherlands I studied Music Education (Dozent Muziek) in the University of Costa Rica. I worked as an individual teacher for many years back there and I have experience teaching violin and Viola to children and adults.

My name is Daniela, and I am a cross-over violist from Costa Rica. I moved to the Netherlands in 2020 to pursue my studies at Codarts Conservatory in Rotterdam, where I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Classical Music (Viola). I am currently continuing my journey at Codarts with a Master's degree in Latin Music.
During my time in the Netherlands, I have been part of a wide range of musical projects across different genres — from classical orchestras and chamber music to pop, jazz, and world music collaborations. I've performed with ensembles such as the Jong Metropole and recorded with various pop, jazz, and fusion bands. I am also the bandleader of my own Latin project, La Reunión, and work as a freelance musician with diverse musical groups.
Before moving to the Netherlands, I studied Music Education at the University of Costa Rica and worked for several years as a private teacher. I have experience teaching violin and viola to both children and adults.
As a teacher, I am kind and patient. I believe in the value of consistent, focused work and in helping students grow step by step. I aim to make the learning process feel easy and fun!
