My Spanish lessons are friendly, dynamic, and fully personalised to each student’s goals and level. I believe languages are best learned through real communication, so my classes focus on practical Spanish that you can use confidently in everyday situations.

I have lived and studied in Mexico and the Dominican Republic, and I taught Spanish in the Dominican Republic for over one year. This has given me a deep understanding of authentic Latin American Spanish, including natural pronunciation, regional expressions, and cultural context. I help students go beyond textbook Spanish and sound more natural and confident when speaking.

I also have international teaching experience in Southeast Asia, having taught in Indonesia and Thailand. Working with students from different cultures, ages, and levels has helped me develop a patient, adaptable teaching style and a strong ability to explain grammar clearly and simply, especially for beginners.

My lessons usually include a balance of:
• Conversation practice to improve fluency and confidence
• Clear grammar explanations with practical examples
• Useful vocabulary for travel, work, and daily life
• Listening and speaking activities based on real Spanish
• Optional reading or writing tasks if the student wants extra practice

Lessons can be relaxed and conversational or more structured, depending on your learning style and objectives. I create a supportive environment where students feel comfortable speaking and making mistakes.

Whether you are learning Spanish for travel, work, relocation, exams, or personal interest, I will tailor each lesson to help you make steady progress while enjoying the learning process.
