About me:
.jpg)
¡Hola!
I'm María Pía, I'm a Speech-Language Pathologist and Certified Spanish Teacher by the Instituto Cervantes. Language and communication have always been important in my life.
To me what SLP and teaching Spanish have in common is that both help people to have a voice, to express themselves, to be able to understand others, to communicate.
I believe language shapes the world and a new language expands your world: it connects you with more people and cultures. You discover new ways of looking at the world and understanding it. It adds to your life!
My priority is that you learn Spanish, its diversity and culture around it, enjoy and have fun along your camino:)
My training and experience as a SLP allow me to identify specific needs, learning styles and adapt methodologies to maximize your learning.
We will speak Spanish from day one! Are you up to discovering it?
