"Hi! I’m Carlos, a native Spanish speaker from Perú with a clear, neutral accent, and I love helping students discover the joy and confidence that comes with learning Spanish. I’ve taught middle and high school students at all levels—beginners, heritage speakers, and those preparing for AP Spanish, IB Spanish, and other proficiency exams. My lessons are designed to be engaging, practical, and culturally rich, so that language learning feels meaningful and fun.

I know learning a new language can feel intimidating—the fear of making mistakes, forgetting words, or speaking in front of others is very real. That’s why I create a supportive, low-pressure environment where mistakes are celebrated as essential steps toward growth. Every lesson is a safe space for students to ask questions, practice confidently, and feel proud of their progress, no matter their starting point.

Whether you’re just starting Spanish, reconnecting with your heritage language, or preparing for an important exam, I tailor each lesson to your goals and learning style. Beginners focus on pronunciation, grammar, and real-world communication. Heritage speakers strengthen reading, writing, and speaking skills while honoring their cultural roots. Exam preparation includes structured practice, test strategies, and personalized feedback. I’m here to guide, encourage, and support you every step of the way—so that learning Spanish is not only achievable but enjoyable!" less...
