    Language Coach

    Hola, I’m Kelly and I’m Cuban. 🇨🇺 I’ve been working with non-native Spanish speakers for about a year now.

    My passions are languages, cooking, and writing. Besides Spanish, I also speak English and beginner French. Currently, I am in college studying a BBA degree taught in English, so I understand how difficult it is to learn a new language and the challenges of communicating with native speakers.

    That’s why I have a lot of patience to teach and a few tricks I’d like to share that will make learning easier. My teaching style involves lots of conversation and learning through examples.

    The most important thing in class is having a positive attitude, the rest will come along the way.

    If you want to learn how we speak Spanish in Cuba or simply improve your Spanish skills I am here to help you achieve your goal!

    Hola, I'm Jael from Nicaragua 🇳🇮 and I have been tutoring languages like sign language, Spanish and English for over 18 years now.

    During this time teaching I’ve always been a very empathic person, I like to try to understand people’s feelings and help somehow.

    I’m currently learning Portuguese so I understand how hard can be to learn conjugations or grammar, that’s why I would like to help you learn Spanish and practice your conversation skills.
