    With your motivation and my experience, we will reach your goals.

    I have been teaching Spanish for 15 years at universities (SDSU and Georgetown), private schools and through private lessons, and my students have gone on to develop a deep love of Spanish culture, study abroad in Latin America, and more! It is important for me to get to know my students and their goals so that I can adapt my lessons to their pace and needs...espero contar con su presencia! I am currently just accepting students for long commitment with the lessons.

    About Ana S.

    My name is Ana and I can't wait to meet you! If you are ready to learn Spanish, I would be happy to make that experience fun and enriching. I have been teaching Spanish since 2007 and I have truly enjoyed helping my students reach their goals. I worked for 5 years in the USA (San Diego State University and Georgetown University) as a Spanish Lecturer. After that, I worked again as a Spanish instructor for different schools in the Netherlands and I did the transition to online teaching more than 6 years ago. I have completed two Master's programs (Spanish linguistics / Teaching Spanish as a Second Language) and together with my experience, they have truly helped me to explore and develop my potential. I am a motivated and dynamic teacher, and I believe that all students can learn a second language if they are challenged and encouraged. I like to create interesting and useful activities and to make grammar as simple as possible. Languages are essentially a tool to communicate and that is why I design my lessons to give students plenty of opportunities to use Spanish during our sessions. I also provide my students with structure and guidance because they are truly helpful to get in the right path. In addition, I select and prepare a good amount of homework to do between lessons. I work with many resources to make homework engaging and dynamic. I might be forgetting something so, I will be happy to answer to any question you still may have about the lessons. Ready when you are! IMPORTANT INFORMATION: at least 48 hours notice for cancelation

    Ana is an OUTSTANDING Spanish teacher. My boyfriend and I (who both took Spanish in high school and college) needed a refresher course before traveling to Spain. Because of our crazy schedules Ana was able to accommodate both of us in one lesson. She reviewed all of the important basics of Spanish that we needed to refresh our memory and aslo included everything possible that would be needed for travel. Provided us with information on what book to buy and gave helpful handouts. Her price was very affordable. She was friendly and always had a smile. Thank you, Ana!

    Ana is such a great instructor. Her knowledge and comprehension of the Spanish language is amazing. Her patience and understanding is much appreciated. I'm a senior and was interested in learning the language, and I think Ana is a perfect fit. I would highly recommend her as an instructor for all age groups.

    Experience

    Spanish Teaching Associate

    Aug, 2007 - May, 2009

    San Diego State University

    During my two years as a Master's student I had the opportunity to teach two Spanish courses every semester. I taught courses in different levels. In the lower levels I worked with colleagues to prepare everything included in the syllabus and in higher levels I had certain freedom to create material and I really enjoyed the challenge.

    I was teaching courses in all levels and also conversation and culture courses.

    Spanish Lecturer

    As a lecturer I had different tasks. Of course, I was in charge of different Spanish courses (I covered all levels and also some Spanish culture sections), but I was also in charge of arranging the Spanish coffee hour every week and I was part of the instructors team responsible for evaluating the proficiency tests.
