About

¡Hola! I’m a passionate Spanish teacher with over 14 years of experience helping students from all over the world discover the beauty of the Spanish language. My teaching journey has taken me across various countries, giving me a deep understanding of different cultures and the ability to connect with people from all walks of life.

Whether you're a complete beginner, preparing for the DELE exam, or looking to improve your fluency, I’m here to guide you with patience, empathy, and a personalized approach. I’ve worked with students of all ages and levels — from young learners to business professionals — always adapting lessons to meet individual goals and interests.

I speak English, Turkish, and Italian, which can be helpful in early stages if you need extra support while transitioning into full Spanish immersion.

Teaching Style

My teaching style is balanced and adaptable, combining structured learning with real communication from day one. I use textbooks that offer a clear, logical progression of topics, ensuring that students build a strong foundation step by step.

From the very first lesson, I incorporate conversation to help students begin speaking and thinking in Spanish right away. Grammar is introduced in just the right measure, enough to give learners the confidence and accuracy they need, without overwhelming them.

Every class is a mix of oral practice, practical vocabulary, and cultural insights, tailored to each student's goals and level.

Credentials & Affiliations

I have extensive teaching experience with both children and adults. From 2013 to 2016, I worked at Nese Erberk Preschool in Kemerburgaz, Istanbul, as a Spanish and English teacher, where I developed and led interactive language activities for young learners.

Since then, I have taught Spanish to adults on site at two well-known institutions in Istanbul:

  • Just English (2013–2018), where I led beginner and intermediate conversation courses

  • Blue Apple (2014–2019), where I focused on grammar, writing, and oral expression for B1–B2 levels

I adapt my teaching style to meet the needs of each learner, using engaging materials and real-life scenarios to help students gain confidence and fluency.

I am TEFL-certified, having completed my TESOL certification through London Teacher Training College in 2021. This training provided a solid foundation in second language acquisition, lesson planning, and classroom management.

In addition to my teaching qualifications, I hold two academic degrees:

  • A Bachelor’s degree in Health Promotion, issued by the National University of Rosario (Universidad Nacional de Rosario), Argentina, in 2008

  • A Bachelor’s degree in Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation, from the Social Health and Science University in Cyprus, earned in 2021
