Discover Spanish Through Stories, Poetry, and Song.

My lessons are creative, interactive, and highly personalized. Instead of focusing on memorizing grammar rules, we explore Spanish through drama, storytelling, and creative writing. Each session feels more like a workshop than a classroom: we build characters, act out scenes, improvise dialogues, and write short stories or poems that reflect your interests and imagination. I draw on my experience writing and teaching a successful English-language diplomado for the University of Puebla, as well as years of leading drama and writing workshops. This background allows me to design sessions that are structured yet playful, giving you the freedom to experiment with the language while still making steady progress. A typical lesson might include:
-Warm-up improvisation to loosen up your speaking
- Creative prompts that spark storytelling or poetry
-Role-play scenes based on real-life situations or fictional worlds
-Short writing exercises to expand vocabulary and self-expression
-Gentle guidance on pronunciation, clarity, and natural phrasing
-The goal is to help you feel the language, not just study it - to speak with confidence, write with personality, and enjoy the process of discovering your own voice in Spanish. If you want to learn Spanish in a way that’s expressive, imaginative, and genuinely fun, you’ll feel right at home in my lessons.
