ABOUT

Learning Spanish as an adult is the most rewarding thing I’ve ever done. This has motivated me to spend the last 5 years helping Spanish students and start Real Fast Spanish. I love teaching and have loved teaching since my first tutoring job at 15. I also love Spanish culture, music, sport and food but, most of all, I love meeting new people from different cultures. I’ve spent time in Colombia, Mexico, Cuba and the Dominican Republic but completed the majority of my Spanish studies in Spain. I’m also unapologetically addicted to burritos 🌯.

I put myself through college working in technology, and never imagined I could combine what I learned there with my passion and love for the Spanish language. I’ve always been energized by finding non-traditional ways to help others learn Spanish, so when I discovered Real Fast Spanish I was hooked and haven’t stopped talking about it since. I gained a global perspective living in Panama and Ecuador. When I’m not explaining verb conjugations to our incredible students, I can be found making my own lattes ☕️, exploring my city (even though I live 8 minutes from where I grew up), and daydreaming about my next trip to [insert Latin American country here].

I’m a linguaphile at heart. Languages are my passion – specifically Spanish. Ever since middle school when I was introduced to Selena and making piñatas, I have fallen in love with the language, the people, and the culture, including salsa 💃 (not just the condiment!). For the past 18 years I have devoted myself to learning, teaching and experimenting with the Spanish language in the classroom and abroad, including Mexico, Spain and Panama. I thoroughly enjoy sharing my passion and inciting the same eagerness in others to discover a new world and its inhabitants.

I have always been interested in meeting new people from around the world. I grew up convinced that learning a second language would be the best investment I could make in my education. This passion for language learning led me to become an English Teacher in my country and later a Spanish Teacher for students around the world. One of my biggest teaching projects has been raising my son bilingual which taught me the importance of patience and always looking for opportunities to teach with love, fun and happiness. Working at Real Fast Spanish has been a dream come true. I’ve been able to instil in my students an excitement for learning Spanish and develop an ability to communicate in real-life situations. Above all, I adore meeting new people and I’m always secretly looking for partners to join me in my Zumba classes.

As a native Spanish speaker from Murcia, the land of the sun, I bring both my cultural background and passion for languages into the classroom. I enjoy teaching Spanish and French in a secondary school as well as Spanish to adults at Real Fast Spanish. With over 15 years of experience teaching adults, I understand how learning a new language not only helps expand our communication skills but also keeps our brains active and sharp.
My teaching approach focuses on creating a supportive and engaging learning environment where students feel comfortable, regardless of their level. I believe in making complex structures easy to understand and strive to boost my students’ confidence as they progress in their language journey. Whether you’re a beginner or looking to refine your skills, I’m here to guide you with patience, warmth, and enthusiasm. Learning a new language is a wonderful way to keep our minds alive and thriving, and I’d love to help you on this rewarding path!

I first studied psychology, but then after living in Spain, Scotland, France, Kazakhstan and Slovakia, I found a love of travelling and meeting people from other cultures. While abroad, schools asked me to teach my own language and culture. Soon after, I realized that’s what I wanted to do with my life. And, I completed a Masters in teaching Spanish as a second language. Real Fast Spanish has given me the chance to be able to combine two of my passions and now the technology for learning remotely gives anyone the chance to do what they’ve always wanted, no excuses! When not teaching, I practice piano, TaiChi, swimming and volunteer for an organization that promotes reading for kids in rural communities. I also have a dog I love called Foxy. I’m now living in central Mexico and love it here. But I keep my suitcase packed, ready to go off and have new travel adventures which continue to feed my soul.
