Loving what I do is what makes me an effective and popular Spanish Teacher/Tutor. As a Native Speaker of the target language, I had to learn English. Having had that experience, has helped me to relate to the difficulty involved in language acquisition and to become more compassionate with my students and their needs.
I have been teaching / tutoring successfully for over 15 years now. I have worked with students from elementary school - college level ( Undergrad/Grad). I have a Certificate in AP Spanish Literature, which is the highest level of High School Spanish. I have also worked with adults who wanted to increase their knowledge of the language and culture for both leisure and business reasons.
Keeping in mind the needs and goals of my students, each class is designed to cater to the individual's needs. !Buena Suerte con su aprendizaje del idioma!

I was so happy with my lessons. When I mentioned anything I wanted to learn more on, We did it the very next scheduled lesson. I had been learning on my own but lacked the confidence speaking with people, besides my boyfriend. As the lessons went on, I was building that up and now I am confident and excited to be speaking more Spanish with everyone.

I’m really enjoying learning Spanish and feel I’ve already improved even after just 3 lessons! Catalina is encouraging and patient. She is intuitive and goes at my pace.

Ms. Catalina is an excellent teacher. I was worried about taking Spanish online, and she made me feel comfortable from the first day. She is very patient, and her tutoring helped me to gain more confidence in my ability to understand and speak Spanish.

Ms. Catalina is an excellent Spanish teacher, she was very helpful in tutoring me in Spanish. because of her I am able to understand a great deal of Spanish.
I would recommend her to any one who want to learn Spanish.
I strongly recommend Catalina as a knowledgeable tutor She worked with my son, who was struggling with his Spanish Class. After working one on one with her, he was able to build up his confidence and started to excel in the subject. Even with his short attention span, her engaging and fun lessons kept him interested in going above and beyond. We're currently looking into sending him abroad to further his knowledge of the language and culture. At this point she's helping with his conversational skills.

Awesome tutor! Got right down to business, she's very thorough and energetic. With Spanish being her native tongue you get a lot more out of each session.
Need a competent, articulate, experienced, and knowledgable tutor to make learning Spanish easy? I've got the perfect candidate to fill all your needs. Catalina Ortiz has made my learning the language so much easier. I'm sure you will agree after a few sessions with her.
