Rebeca

I am from Guatemala. I love to teach Spanish because I meet wonderful people and I have had the opportunity to travel to different countries. My students describe me as being responsible, flexible, creative and patient.

I love to travel, hike outdoors, and make clothes. I also like to read about the history and culture of my country and the rest of the world. I enjoy spending time with my friends and family.

Teaching Style

My teaching is flexible because each student is different. I can tailor your lesson by having a conversation on social life, travel, health, politics, or any topic you desire. If you prefer, you can learn Spanish by reading stories and articles in your new language. This will allow you to improve your grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation. How would you like to learn this wonderful language?

You can make suggestions or follow my lead. We can find a way to make your lessons a learning adventure. If you want homework, I can produce custom lessons and translation exercises, We can also practice real-world interactions with audio and video on different topics.

I have worked with people of all ages and levels, from beginners through intermediate to the advanced level. I teach Spanish for travelers and professionals, such as teachers, engineers, economists, interpreters, and doctors. I can also tailor the lesson content to your profession. My English is near the intermediate level.

What do people say about Rebeca?

Before online tutoring, I tried group classes at our local community center to learn Spanish. I love to work online because the one-to-one classes really focus on my level, interests, and needs. My tutor, Rebeca, is patient, encouraging, and always fun to work with.”

I survived my first lesson without valium thanks to Rebeca. She is extremely calm and knows how to pace the lesson well. I also learned so much about Guatemalan culture that I was unaware of. Muchas gracias, Rebeca!”
