Hi there! I’m Itzel. I started out as an architect, but along the way, I found my true passion: teaching Spanish. Growing up in Mexico, Spanish was not just my native language but a key part of my culture, which I love sharing with my students.

After years in architecture, I realized what really excited me was the opportunity to connect with people through language. My teaching approach is shaped not only by my background in architecture but also by my core personal values. I believe that patience, tolerance, and responsibility are essential in both education and everyday life.

I’m a certified Spanish teacher with over four years of experience and more than 3,500 lessons taught. I’ve worked with over 150 students, helping each one find their path to fluency based on their personal goals and learning pace. Whether you’re starting from scratch or looking to polish your Spanish, I’m here to help.

I believe that learning Spanish should be as enjoyable as it is educational. That’s why I focus on conversational practice and real-life examples. It’s not just about grammar and vocabulary; it’s about making connections and understanding the culture.

Thanks for stopping by! I’m excited to help you start your Spanish journey and open up new opportunities. I look forward to getting to know you and diving into the Spanish language together!
