Experience / Qualifications
Para mis estudiantes de inglés: les enseñaré la forma en que los norteamericanos hablan en las conversaciones diarias, en lugar de enseñar inglés como libro de texto. Este es un curso para practicar y mejorar sus habilidades de conversación y pronunciación, no un curso para aprender gramática o escritura.

Para mis estudiantes de apreciación del vino: He perseguido mi pasión por el gran vino durante casi 40 años. He tenido la suerte de trabajar con algunos de los enólogos más talentosos de nuestro tiempo. He viajado mucho por Europa, América y la República Popular China. Mi objetivo es mejorar su capacidad de cata y su confianza en el disfrute del buen vino.

For my English Students: I will teach you the way North Americans actually speak in every day conversations, rather than teaching textbook English.This is a course to practice and improve your conversational and pronunciation skills, not a course to learn grammer or writing.

For my Wine Appreciation Students: I have pursued my passion for great wine for almost 40 years. I have had the good fortune to work with with some of the most talented winemakers of our time. I have traveled extensively in Europe, the Americas, and the Peoples Republic of China. My goal is to improve your tasting skills and confidence in the enjoyment of fine wine.

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!

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.
