¡Hola!

My sessions are informal, relaxed, and built around conversation — I think the best way to get comfortable in Spanish is simply to speak it. There's no textbook, no grammar drills, and no pressure to get everything perfect. (I’ve been learning French and know how frustrating it can be). The goal is to get you talking and feeling confident doing it.

Each session is one-on-one via Google Meet or Zoom, which means we can go at your pace and focus on what actually matters to you. A typical session might start with a topic suggested by me — travel, food, daily life, culture — or we might just have a natural conversation and see where it goes. I'll gently correct you when it helps, but I won't interrupt your flow every five seconds.

Being from Puerto Rico, I bring a genuine, real-world perspective on how Spanish is spoken — not just the textbook version. You'll pick up natural rhythm, everyday expressions, and the kind of language that actually gets used in conversation. And because I'm also fluent in English, I can switch between languages to explain things clearly whenever you need it.

I've done informal tutoring before and I know how to adapt to different levels and learning styles. Whether you're a complete beginner just learning to introduce yourself, or someone who already knows some Spanish but freezes up when it's time to actually speak — I've got you.

Sessions are in the evening or weekends to fit around busy life, and we'll always start with a free 15-minute intro chat so I can understand your goals and tailor things from the very first lesson.

¡Hablamos pronto!
