Spanish

Learn Spanish with a native speaker! My lessons are engaging and useful (watch my videos). A lesson would typically start with the oral practice of a simple phrase. First, we learn the vocabulary, think about practical uses, practice reading; and finally, writing. All classes are adapted to your goals, needs, and interests. I personalize each lesson using a wide range of teaching techniques to help you learn and never forget!

I currently teach Spanish full-time at a private school in Warrenton and get a background check every two years. I have been teaching Spanish for 6 years and ESL for about 10 years. In my history as a teacher, I have taught students 3-80 years old. I have also taught adult literacy and Mexican folkloric dance.

My lessons are very interactive. I teach using sentences and phrases that relate to your personal or professional needs. We start with a simple conversation that builds up as much as it is comfortable for you. The goal is that you can apply the material immediately. During each session, we go from conversation to reading and writing (just like when you learned your first language). I have been teaching Spanish to children and adults for over 6 years and ESL for over 10 years. Let's get started!

La teacher Nayeli en verdad fue muy genial! 
Explica con mucha paciencia adaptándose a mis conocimientos previos. En verdad fue muy cálida su bienvenida y definitivamente fue mi mejor elección al escogerla como teacher. ^-^

Nayeli is a pleasure to take class with! She makes each lesson personal and relevant to me. She is always happy to explain with examples and encourages questions. She tailors lesson to my level as we go.

So happy to be working with Nayleli! Looking forward to my next lesson.

I really enjoy my lessons with Nayeli. She is a very friendly and approachable teacher, and caters her lessons to your specific goals. Each lesson is rewarding and leaves me excited to learn more. She gives you tools to practice in between lessons, and this makes practicing manageable and fun. I would highly recommend Nayeli as a tutor to anyone who is interested in learning Spanish!

Nayeli is wonderful and friendly and does an amazing job teaching our 6 year old son. We started in person and now do online. Our goal is to have our son fluent in Spanish and Nayeli is helping us work toward that with fun lessons that he enjoys. We highly recommend her.

Nayeli is a fantastic teacher.  Fun lessons and great interactive back and forth.  I would recommend her in a heartbeat!

I had a great experience with the teacher Nayeli. Her teaching style is excellent and enjoyable.
This is a wonderful way to learn from your house anytime!
