• When and why did you develop an interest in your chosen field?

  I developed an interest in teaching Spanish from a young age, inspired by my experiences in a Spanish-speaking environment. After moving to another country, I had to learn English to adapt, and now I'm learning French to fit into my new life in Canada. These experiences deepened my passion for language learning and helping others overcome similar challenges.

• What makes you passionate about your subject?

  I'm passionate about teaching conversational Spanish because it's not just about grammar, it's about helping students connect with cultures and people. Having learned both English and French, I understand the value of speaking a language with confidence and fluency, and I want to help others achieve that.

• What do you like about tutoring? What makes you a "Superprof"?

  I love tutoring because it allows me to make language learning engaging, personalized, and practical. What makes me a "Superprof" is my patience, my ability to adapt lessons to individual needs, and my focus on making students feel comfortable and confident in speaking Spanish. I also create an atmosphere where students can feel at ease making mistakes and growing from them.

• Do you have any role models; a teacher that inspired you? Please explain.

  My dad has always been my biggest inspiration. When I was a kid, I used to go with him to some of his math classes, and I loved watching how he made his students laugh and enjoy the lesson, no matter how hard the topic was. Seeing how much fun he had while teaching and how he connected with his students made me want to do the same one day. It showed me that learning doesn't have to be boring - and that's something I want to pass on too.

• What are your keys to success?

  - Immersion - Exposing students to real conversations and media.
  - Personalization - Adapting lessons to each student's goals.
  - Practice & Confidence - Encouraging students to speak freely and confidently.
  - Empathy - Understanding language-learning challenges, as I've experienced it myself.
