š Iām a Spanish teacher with a background in industrial engineering, and Iām passionate about sharing my language and experiences with people who want to learn Spanish as a second language.
š My lessons are a mix of challenge and fun. We make the most of your time so that with every class, youāre one step closer to speaking SpanishĀ and truly understanding it from the inside out.
ā Every session is designed to bring real value ā to support you, reinforce what youāve learned, and keep you moving forward.
ā One thing I love is getting you involved in the language from my perspective and lived experience here in Peru. This is a space to learn, use, and truly grasp the language. Weāre not here to memorise pointless tablesĀ weāre here to help you understand Spanish through real-life examples, solid guidance, and practical resources.
ā In my classes, youāll get a bit of everything - language, culture, grammar (especially if you think itās tough), and loads of vocabulary in context. Thereās structure and order too, but every session adapts to your weak spots and helps you build on what you already know.
These lessons are built around what you need to learn and practise ā no more random internet vocab that wonāt actually help you reach your goals.
Still thinking about it? Book a free class with me and letās start this journey together.Ā
Join the many people learning Spanish every day. Book your lesson now and letās start this journey through the Spanish-speaking world ā with a Peruvian twist.Ā
Yes, purchased classes are valid for one year and are non-transferable. But donāt worry ā Iām sure youāll be looking forward to your next session!Ā

Please let me know at least 24 hours in advance. That way, we can cancel or reschedule your session at a time that works for you. If no notice is given, the session will be considered as ācompletedā and cannot be rescheduled or refunded.Ā
Thereās no ābetterā or āworseā kind of Spanish, thatās what makes the language such a rich and varied experience!

But aside from regional vocab and expressions, itās all Spanish ā and all worth learning.Ā
All sessions are held via Google Meet.Ā
No, sessions are not recorded ā but youāll have full access to the materials we cover in class :)Ā
