Language Coach

Hola, I’m Maribel from Medellín, Colombia 🇨🇴 and I live in Montréal, Canada. I have been teaching Spanish since 2020.

I have done several certifications, and I’m studying a master’s in neuroscience applied to pedagogy.

I’m passionate about languages and how they can be the key to open new doors. Yes, that sounds very cliché, but that’s how I see it.

I want to show you how beautiful our Latin American culture is. Let’s learn together!
