About Your Instructor

With 30 years of experience teaching Spanish, including at the university level, I bring a passion for language, culture, and meaningful communication to every class.

Over the years, I have developed and taught Spanish courses for learners of different ages and proficiency levels, including Spanish for Travellers workshops specially designed for adults and seniors.

I believe that the best way to learn a language is by using it! LENGUA VIVA means LIVING LANGUAGE and also LANGUAGE IN ACTION.

I follow a communicative, interactive approach that encourages students to speak Spanish from the very beginning. Rather than simply memorizing vocabulary and grammar rules, students learn to communicate through practical, real-life situations, engaging conversations, role-playing activities, and dialogues.

• Small class sizes: A friendly, supportive environment where everyone has opportunities to participate and speak.
• Personalized attention: Lessons adapted to students' needs, interests, learning styles, and pace.
• Real-life communication: Practical situations such as travelling, ordering at restaurants, shopping, asking for directions, and meeting new people.
• Interactive learning: Partner dialogues, role-playing, and meaningful verbal exchanges that build confidence and fluency.
• Language and culture together: Authentic audiovisual materials, music, videos, and cultural activities that bring the Spanish-speaking world into the classroom.
• Engaging and enjoyable lessons: A variety of creative activities that make learning stimulating, rewarding, and fun.

Learning Spanish is also an opportunity to discover new cultures, connect with people, broaden your horizons, and keep your mind active.

Whether you're preparing for a trip, reconnecting with a language you once studied, or simply looking for an enjoyable new challenge, my goal is to help you feel comfortable speaking Spanish and experience the pleasure of communicating in another language.

Come learn Spanish in a welcoming environment where every student has a voice and every conversation brings you one step closer to your destination!
