I'm Carina! I have a degree in Cultural/ Historical Tourism from the Universidad Central de Ecuador. I also have a diploma in teaching Spanish as a second language from the Institute IE.

My teaching method is based on the "Communication" methodology favored by Spain's Cervantes Institute. I have gone beyond a mere grammar-based approach to language teaching by creating a unique study plan for you that allows me to follow and assess your progress. To reinforce your learning I have access to many resources to keep you engaged and focused in your online classes.

Learning a language is also learning about culture, traditions, gastronomy. I love sharing my Latin culture! It is very gratifying to see my students improve and overcome their obstacles in learning Spanish as a second language.

I really enjoy teaching Spanish because it allows me to meet people from different parts of the world.

I have a diploma in teaching Spanish as a second language.
I have taught Spanish in Ecuador for more than 10 years. I have worked with individual students and in small groups from all over the world. My focus on teaching students to communicate in Spanish will get you confident in using your new language skills in everyday situations as you learn relevant vocabulary and usage, at whatever level you are at.

I also offer Conversational Medical Spanish for A2-B1 students. In these classes, we role-play doctor-patient scenarios together, practice medical vocabulary, dialogues, and patient cases from different specialties. This interactive approach helps students gain confidence in real-life medical conversations.

I will be happy to teach you and support you in your learning of Spanish language! Feel free to contact me with any additional questions or to schedule a lesson!

Great Tutor!

Carina is the best! She is able to quickly adapt the lesson to match your skill level, and she uses a variety of activities to keep the lessons fun and engaging! She is also great at explaining new concepts and always checks in to make sure she isn’t going too fast or slow :)
