Bio

I am a dedicated language educator with nearly 10 years of experience teaching Spanish and English as a Second Language (ESL) to learners of all ages, from elementary-aged children to adults.

I am a dedicated language educator with nearly 10 years of experience teaching Spanish and English as a Second Language (ESL) to learners of all ages, from elementary-aged children to adults. My teaching journey has taken me across the U.S. and to countries such as Colombia, Spain, and China, where I’ve had the opportunity to work with diverse groups of students. I also have experience and success working with students to help them secure jobs in their second language or pass standardized tests such as the TOEFL and IELTS. In addition to classroom teaching, I’ve worked as an instructional coach, supporting teachers in implementing second-language strategies in their classrooms, and I’ve designed language curricula tailored to the unique needs of different learners.

I hold a degree in Spanish language and am certified in ESL, which has provided me with a strong foundation to help students achieve their language goals.

My teaching style is dynamic, engaging, and immersion-focused, aimed at building students’ confidence and helping them communicate effectively in a short amount of time. Students and parents often describe my classes as a positive and engaging educational experience both in-person and online.

It would be an absolute delight to help you or your child reach your language goals!

Patient and Nurturing

When Motola arrived for the first tutor session, my 8 year old son turned bright red and had tears in his eyes, he wanted absolutely nothing to do with school or Spanish over the summer. Luckily reaching out to Motola for a tutoring session was the best thing I ever did for my three boys (8, 6, 6 yrs old). All three are in a dual language program in McKinney and with no Spanish at home really needed extra help that I could not provide. After the first meeting, all three have looked forward to her lessons. She teaches them songs, sings with them, finds funny and silly ways to keep them engaged. She is very kind and patient. All three boys feel extremely comfortable with her and are open to making mistakes and laughing with her while they learn. She has been nothing but a blessing. Finding a tutor that sets your children at ease so they are open to trying and making mistakes and celebrating successes is hard to find. She has been instrumental in their language development this summer!

Great and Thorough Tutor

Ms. P was very patient and thorough during the lesson. Today during the lesson she went through the material in great detail and explained all the topics very well. I highly recommend Ms. P to others seeking to learn Spanish.
