¡Hola, me llamo Kara!

I am excited to help you plan, study, and live the Spanish language. I understand the challenges that come with language acquisition and excel in helping students of all ages and skill levels overcome them. I strive to create a comfortable and enjoyable learning space for all my students.

¡Hola, me llamo Kara!

I am excited to help you plan, study, and live the Spanish language. I understand the challenges that come with language acquisition and excel in helping students of all ages and skill levels overcome them. I strive to create a comfortable and enjoyable learning space for all my students.

I now teach using the OWL (Organic World Language) method, which means our sessions focus on speaking, listening, and thinking in Spanish right from the beginning. Just like learning your first language, you will grow in confidence through organic, natural communication. My lessons always include plenty of conversation, so you’ll be using Spanish immediately in a real and practical way.

Experience:
I have a Bachelor's degree in Spanish Language and Literature and have been speaking the language for over 10 years. My studies included living abroad in Oaxaca, Mexico, and even performing in Spanish theatre. I have taught children in elementary, middle, and high school, as well as college students and adults learning independently. I believe anyone—at any age or ability—can learn Spanish!

What to Expect:
The first lesson will evaluate where to begin your personalized Spanish journey. I will guide you through the learning process, providing individualized curriculum, targeted feedback, and recommendations that meet your goals. With OWL, expect to be speaking, interacting, and growing your Spanish skills in a way that feels natural and confidence-building.

Group Lessons:
Having additional people to practice Spanish with is helpful and fun! Group classes are done through Zoom or can be hosted by one of the participating students at their residence. Contact me for more information about group and in-person classes.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to message me! ¡Hasta pronto!

Great Spanish Teacher!

Kara's been teaching my daughter Spanish for the past six months and she's been awesome! Super patient and professional. My daughter has made great progress and actually enjoys her lessons. Big thumbs up for Kara!

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

Kara is great at designing lessons that really fit her student’s learning styles. She listens well to her students needs also and then customizes things accordingly.

Knowledgeable and a patient tutor.

I enrolled with Ms. Kara for my child’s Spanish tutoring and she is truly an amazing teacher. Extremely patient and good at teaching. She gets down to the student’s level to explain things and prompts them to speak about their interests and about themselves in Spanish which I feel is a very effective way to learn any new language. Not to mention all the tons of resources (both through books, apps & other online resources) that she has referred to assist with the learning. I highly recommend her to anyone trying to learn Spanish. Thank you once again Ms. Kara!

Excellent Spanish Tutor!

I have been working with Kara for about four months, and I LOVE working with her! I am an adult learner and wanted to learn Spanish for fun and for strengthening my cognitive abilities. I started Duolingo several months before I began to work with Kara, and although it is a great program, I knew I needed a one-on-one tutor to really improve. She does an excellent job teaching me the fundamentals such as verb tenses, parts of speech, and other language rules. We also work on my reading aloud, comprehension, and conversational skills each week. Kara gives me homework during the week to strengthen what we've worked on, which is very helpful. In our sessions, she does a good job allowing me time to figure things out and also correcting me in a helpful way as needed, and she also repeats her words in English as needed so I can understand and learn. I highly recommend Kara as a tutor for any language or subject!

Helpful and Patient Tutor

Before finding Kara, my son was struggling with Spanish and he was feeling discouraged. After a few weeks with Kara, my son's teacher reached out to say that she could see how much progress my son was making with his Spanish. Highly recommend Kara.

Kara is very knowledgeable/enthusiastic and we hit the ground running! I am looking forward to working with Kara on future sessions, she is inspirational. I left the first session feeling that I can really learn a second language.
