"Hello! I’m Pilar, a native Spanish speaker and experienced educator from Chile.

I hold a Master’s degree in Spanish Language and Culture from Universidad Pontificia de Salamanca, and a Bachelor of Arts in Education with a concentration in ESL for High School from the University of Bio-Bio. I am currently a State-Certified Spanish (FF K-12) and ESL teacher in Michigan, with extensive experience working with both children and adults at various proficiency levels.

In my current role, I teach AP Spanish Language and Culture and have helped many students succeed in earning the Seal of Biliteracy. I am passionate about language instruction and will create personalized lessons to meet your individual goals—whether you need help with basic grammar, conversational fluency, test preparation, or academic writing.

If you are a Spanish speaker needing support in English, I also offer bilingual ESL instruction, designed to help you feel confident and empowered using English in real-life contexts.

I’m available in the evenings and on weekends, and currently offer online lessons only for safety and convenience.

¡Nos vemos pronto!" less...
