"Hi! I'm from Colombia. I love teaching Spanish and help people to get their goals in the language. As a linguist and Spanish native-speaker I have a lot of knowledge in the language.

This, because I believe that first, an instructor must always find ways to present topics in interesting and accessible ways, and second, not all students learn in the same way or with the same rythms.
