Spanish Classes
I offer a learner-centred learning experience for both adults and children of all ages. Book a free first session so we can get to know each other and I can tell you more about how I work. In this session, I’ll assess your level and ask about your reasons for learning Spanish, your goals, and what you’d like to do with the language. From there, I’ll create a learning plan tailored for you.
General Classes
The classes are dynamic and designed to integrate all language skills. As students progress, I increasingly incorporate “authentic materials” in class — texts (spoken or written) that are not created for language learning but circulate in real-life contexts and open up sociocultural perspectives.
Learning Through Storytelling
A special proposal for those who want to learn Spanish through stories. We explore the poetic dimension of language through creative writing and oral storytelling inspired by traditional tales.
Minimum level: B1.
Conversation Classes
For learners who want to focus on spoken fluency. Each session includes thematic prompts and selected materials — texts, podcasts, or videos — followed by guided conversation and error analysis at the end.

Those who learned with me
Catalina was an amazing teacher. We worked together weekly for over three years, and she significantly helped improve my Spanish. Her teaching style was truly unique, blending storytelling with a personalized approach tailored to my specific interests. It was nothing like the rigid Spanish classes I took in grade school. She is also a great person, and I always looked forward to our class time together. I highly recommend her if you're looking for a patient and creative teacher.
Las lecciones con Catalina son una combinación poderosa de narración creativa, materiales de apoyo adaptados, y conversaciones amables. Tengo suerte de haber encontrado una maestra tan perceptiva. Catalina realiza un seguimiento de mi progreso, detecta las áreas que necesitan mejorar, y tiene en cuenta mis intereses personales para elaborar lecciones y materiales que apoyan mi crecimiento lingüístico y me inspiran a seguir aprendiendo.
I'm loving my lessons with Catalina. She is very engaging and makes the lessons more fun by reinforcing grammar and vocabulary with stories.
Catalina ha ayudado inmensamente a nuestras hijas gemelas a mejorar su español; aunque lo hablan de forma nativa, vivir en Estados Unidos significa que tienen pocas oportunidades para mejorar su ortografía y gramática. Después de unos meses, han crecido enormemente, y junto con Catalina hemos organizado otra experiencia centrada en la literatura en español, con grandes resultados hasta ahora.
