I have a degree in Cultural/Historical Tourism from the Universidad Central de Ecuador. I also have a diploma in teaching Spanish as a second language from the Institute IE.

I have been tutored in Spanish by Carina for 3 years. She is patient, kind, understanding, helpful. It feels like you’re talking to a friend when you speak to her. She is very knowledgeable about the Spanish language, grammar, conjugations, tenses. She is the best at what she does and I look forward to every lesson with her.

I had the pleasure of taking Spanish classes with Carina, and I can’t recommend her enough. I started from zero, and thanks to her guidance, I’ve made amazing progress. She’s incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and always adapts to your pace and learning style. Her teaching approach is both encouraging and effective, truly a wonderful professor! Clarisse

I met Carina when I was living in Quito working at an international school. When I first arrived all the teachers who wanted to learn Spanish, highly recommended her. We spent two hours every Sunday together for about three years. We lost touch when she moved to Cuenca. A few years ago we reconnected and now she is teaching me online from California.

She easily assesses your level. She also speaks very clearly and at the appropriate pace for you. She knows how to teach Spanish as another language far better than any other teachers I have had. On top of that, she has the patience of a saint. If I could give her more than five stars, I would. She is the best!

I have been Carina's student for many years. She does an incredible job of providing engaging comprehensible input at my level. From day one, I was able to communicate with her in Spanish. Carina is a master at breaking down complicated grammar concepts in a way that I can understand and implement immediately into our conversations. If you are looking for the best way to understand and apply the Spanish language, Carina is the teacher for you!!
