I'm a native of Medellin, Colombia, and have lived in Seattle for over ten years. I originally came as an exchange teacher for a local Catholic school. I enjoy teaching, helping, and working with people of all ages and experience levels.

I have over ten years of teaching and tutoring experience. I earned my bachelor's degree in education at the University at Pontificia Bolivariana in Medellin and then taught and tutored at Universidad Catolica de Oriente. In addition to my experience teaching at the Seattle K-8 Catholic school, I have also worked with a number of other schools in the area, including one-on-one tutoring for kids, teenagers, and adults alike. I have also been tutoring for several years at Seattle Central College, in the transitional education ESL program, helping adult ESL students transition to life in Seattle.
I also have experience preparing students to do their DELE tests at all different levels in Spanish
For Spanish students, I love helping you to learn a beautiful and important world language and hope that you will be able to travel and use your hard earned skills. For ESL students, I was also once an ESL student in high school and university and know both the challenges and sense of accomplishment that comes from improving your skills.

Teaching and helping others is my passion; I love doing it. One of my biggest pleasures is that when I run into former students a year or more after I taught them, that they smile and yell "Hola!" to me. I hope that you will also be one of those students someday!

Spanish

I received my teaching degree from the University at Pontificia Bolivariana in Medellin, Colombia. After that I taught both Spanish and ESL at the University Catolica de Oriente in Medellin for several years. I was then a Spanish exchange teacher for one year at St. Alphonsus K-8 school in Seattle, WA. Since then, I have tutored Spanish on a one-on-one basis with both kids and adults, as well as working with a number of schools in the area, including St. Joseph K-8 and Seattle Central College.

Outstanding Spanish teacher

I started Spanish lessons to be able to speak to my wife in Spanish. I struggled for many many years to learn Spanish before I started lessons with Ximena. In as little as 3 months, I can now have interesting conversations with my wife that she understands. Furthermore, Ximena is well-planned, provides well constructed layered lessons, is flexible with the subject matter to provide language that will be applied in everyday life and provides feedback in a meaningful and constructive fashion. I would highly recommend Ximena to anybody looking to learn Spanish!

Very helpful!

My daughter is very anxious about Spanish this quarter. After meeting with Ximena one time, she came home feeling much more hopeful and well resourced going into the class. My daughter said "I know that she can help me."

An experienced teacher with linguistic training and training in Colombia

Ximena is from Colombia, where Spanish is spoken with one of the most loved accents in Latin America. She has training in linguistics having studied English in Colombia. Her residency in the US is interspersed with trips to Colombia and close contact with Latin American culture makes her an ideal tutor in Seattle

Great tutor!

Great tutor and fun person to chat with. She's patient and easy to understand and converse with. She is always prepared with appropriate lesson plans, but also enjoy just chatting in Spanish!

Spanish lesson

Thank you so much Ximena for helping our high school sophomore really understand Spanish. He's been behind because of a concussion and she's keeping him on track

Leo, 4 lessons with Ximena

Very happy

My daughter has had two sessions with Ximena so far and we're looking forward to many more. She has been taking Spanish for a while but has missed some really critical parts of how the language is structured. Ximena is reviewing what she needs to know and my daughter is ecstatic that she's receiving the very specific help she needs. We're looking forward to more tutoring and are excited that she can finally make progress in filling in the holes.

Peggy, 5 lessons with Ximena

ximena blends the power of empathy and that helps her relate the important work of teaching.

We are starting with phrases that will be pertinent to my next trip to mexico. Ximena is using structure of the basics to get me started with a foundation to build on.

Deb, 1 lesson with Ximena

Very knowledgeable and helpful!

I can't recommend her highly enough. She is a great tutor! She is very patient and knows her subject well. I would recommend her to anyone who needs help with Spanish.

Chris, 2 lessons with Ximena

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

Ximena does a wonderful job with our 7 year old twice a week. Our daughter has come so far in such a short time. We meet twice a week at a local library and our daughter looks forward to each class.

Tamar, 27 lessons with Ximena

Great session!

Ximena was very patient as we reviewed information to see where we should go after our first session. She is very organized and the her examples were easy to remember.
