Learn with a native speaker
I was born in Costa Rica and raised in a family of teachers in Colombia. Since the early days, I noticed my connection to people from different cultures and my love for foreign languages. I went on to study International Relations and Political Science far away from home, in the USA. After I finished the university, I moved to Costa Rica where I started working in logistics and trade.

Hola
Working in international trade, I discovered the importance of language skills in the globalized world. Doing business in your counterpart´s native language opens up the doors to a successful partnership.
Years later, I went to Belgium where I worked in European Affairs. In such an environment, it was once more proven that languages are a valuable asset to understanding our surroundings.
Yet I had one long-time goal to achieve: moving to Germany and learning its language. Why Germany of all countries, you may wonder? Since my childhood, I’ve held a strong interest with German history, culture and football. So I left my Belgian life and decided to move to Berlin with my family.
Raising children in a multi-lingual environment helped me see the obvious: I like teaching, and most of all, I love teaching Spanish. Teaching my language was not a foreign experience to me, as during my university years I taught individuals and groups.
As I have spent my life learning English, French, Dutch and German, I understand clearly what a student needs to become proficient in a foreign language: communication, motivation, fun classes, real situations, and relatable vocabulary. Therefore, I am excited to go back to my roots and guide my students to get in touch with my culture through learning Spanish.
