Spanish

Welcome! My name is Azalea, I grew up in Mexico and I am fluent in both English and Spanish. I hold a Master's degree and I have been teaching since 2012. Some of my classroom settings include private lessons, group lessons, summer camps, online lessons, among others. I have experience working with students of all ages and backgrounds such as children, adults, college students, working parents, etc.

I believe it is important for students to be emerged in the language they are learning. For this reason, I like to encourage my students to practice in and outside our lessons as much as possible by speaking, listening, and reading in Spanish. Every single student is different and they all have very different learning techniques; therefore, I customize my lesson plans to fit my students' needs, learning style, and interests. Plus, the most important part of the learning process is to have fun and to enjoy ourselves every lesson! 

Our background or language should never be a reason to feel disconnected from others, like our own family, friends, or colleagues. So if you are looking to learn Spanish for work, school, or just for fun, you are in the right place! I would love to help you conquer your goals and guide you in your Spanish journey!  

Thank you for stopping by and please let me know if you have any questions, I can't wait to meet you!

Azalea is a super cool Spanish teacher! my daughter has a lot of fun learning from her. She is very dedicated and kind and my daughter has learned so much! I would highly recommend her :) Very grateful to have found a teacher so qualified and awesome at the same time.

Very helpful in assisting a distance learner.

Azalea not only keeps conversation flowing, but recognizes where you can use more practice! In our lesson she helped me improve my listening skills and made it feel like we were working together. Practicing another language can be very intimidating but Azalea has a very comforting presence that makes it feel safe to make an error, and subsequently rewarding when a mistake is corrected. Not only did I gain a lot from my one hour session, but she provided me with extra skill-enhancing links that I can reference even after time is up!

My first session with Azalia was great.  She shows great enthusiam and has many great ideas for those of us new to Espanol.

Very friendly, enthusiastic and easy to work with.  I really enjoyed my first lesson.

She gives a lively class.  It was my first lesson with
 Mtra. Azalea, and it was a good class.  Thank you.

Azalea is amazing! She kept our large group engaged during the whole lesson. She used polls, activities, and group participation to keep it fun and educational. She has great energy, and we can't wait for our next lesson!

Very productive first lesson. I know where I need to improve and practice before the next lesson.

Excellent first lesson. Just what I needed in order to review what I knew and learn new things. She is clear, easy to follw, supportive, and friendly and funny!

She is very patient, smart, nice and very helpful! I will continue with her on my goal to become fluent in spanish :)
