About Lara
My name is Lara and I am from Alicante, Spain. I began my graduate education as a second language teacher, working to obtain a master’s in teaching Spanish as Second Language at the University of Alicante, Spain. My professors inspired me to pursue language learning through communication and the use of culture with approaches based on relevant, motivating and intellectually engaging tasks. I studied a M.A in Hispanic Linguistics at the University of Illinois at Chicago, US in 2020-2022 and a Master’s Degree in the Teaching of Spanish as a Second/Foreign Language in Alicante, Spain in 2017-2019. I gained experience in both research and teaching areas with topics that involve Spanish as a Second Language and Spanish for Heritage Speakers in the U.S. My Bachelor degree is in English and Literature at the University of Alicante, Spain. My MAs degree led me to teach in multiple countries including Spain, Poland, Italy, and the United States, where I have used my teaching abilities to engage students in the language, culture, history, and diversity of the Spanish speaking countries I have a large experience and qualification as an instructor of Spanish at the university level (2021-2023) and Spanish teacher for teenagers and kids at the school level (2015-2018). From 2022 to 2023 I was a Visiting Lecturer of Italian and Spanish for beginners at the University of Illinois at Chicago, DePaul University and Dominican University, all in Illinois. From 2018 to 2020 I worked in a pre-college educational school in New York City. In 2017 I was awarded with a grant to complete a 6-month international internship as a Spanish teacher at Casa de España, an official language academy in Wrocław (Poland). I was also awarded with a grant to complete 2-month internship as a teacher assistant at Università degli Studi di Salerno, Salerno (Italy) where I observed and carried on activities and tasks for undergraduate Spanish beginners to intermediate language courses. I also worked as Spanish/English Student Teacher in schools in Alicante, such as King's College, The British School of Alicante. I consider myself a flexible and creative teacher, and I always try to make my students feel comfortable in class. I believe that teaching is not only nourishing other people’s lives with knowledge, but is also the process of never stopping learning oneself! =) Lara

¡Hola estudiantes! My consistent sense of curiosity about learning and teaching Spanish in a multicultural environment brought me to New York after living and teaching in many different places around the world, such as Poland, Italy, Canada, Australia and the United States. I provide a comfortable learning environment where students can become functional speakers of Spanish, acquire cultural communicative competence, develop critical-thinking skills, and gain insight into the nature of language and culture. I aspire for students to view me as both a teacher and constant resource in their academic endeavors. As an instructor, I am passionate about trying different activities that involve all the language skills: reading, writing, listening, and speaking. I adapt the activities in my classroom to be as interactive as possible for the students :)

I recommend Lara %100 as a teacher. She has understood my needs very well and she knows how to adapt her classes to what I am looking for in a lesson. I was worried that I would not understand everything, but she makes things so easy and enjoyable that one hour goes so fast. Actually, I love how she focuses the lessons on a communicative approach. Not only am I learning grammar and vocabulary but I feel that my oral communication skills are growing a lot. Definitely, the money spent here is a great deal with Lara!
Lara was my colleague at the University of Illinois Chicago, where we both taught Spanish. She is such a wonderful instructor! She is patient and extremely generous, both with students and other instructors as well. She is energetic, dynamic, fun and very creative; she always shared with me very cool activities and ideas! Furthermore, she’s very communicative, and helps to develop critical thinking and cultural awareness among students. Not only a great teacher, but she’s also a lovely person ;)
Lara is a very good teacher, she prepares the classes and adapts to the student's needs. For this reason I recommend learning this language with her.
Lara is an excellent Spanish instructor! She has tons of teaching experience in various settings, so she's able to adapt her style to individual needs.
Lara taught me to speak spanish fluently. When I started I had a basic level of spanish and It was difficult for me to speak in public and have conversations with native speakers. She created for me a structured learning program and the result was amazing. After a couple of clases I noticed the difference with other language schools and institutes. It was very practicle and her way of teaching is very constructive which helps a lot if you need to learn a language from scratch. Apart from giving clases, she is always available for her students.
I know Lara, she is a highly recommended Spanish teacher with previous experience teaching in New York and Chicago.
Good teacher, works hard with her students and gets them to do their best in their classes.
