About Sofía

For my lessons, I pull from my personal experiences as a first-generation Spanish-American and knowledge acquired from my B.A. in International Relations. My degree focused on cultural, historical and political studies in the Spanish-speaking world. I am also a certified translator, which has provided me with intimate knowledge of grammatical structures and niche vocabulary. I also took high-level Spanish courses throughout my undergraduate career, which included essay writing exclusively in Spanish. While taking these classes, I assisted fellow students in editing essays in Spanish as a peer tutor. I have also assisted high school students with levels 1-5, AP Spanish Language and AP Spanish Literature (the latter two of which I took in high school myself, and achieved 5s on both exams).

I am an incoming NYC Teaching Fellow in Spanish Language, Grades 7-12. I will begin my position as a Spanish teacher with the NYC DOE in September 2026. In October 2025, I also earned an MPhil in Political Thought and Intellectual History from the University of Cambridge. My thesis was on language and intellectual colonization in the 16th and 17th century Spanish Empire.

I customize lesson plans based on your skill level, featuring exercises that engage with Spanish and Latin American history, films, music and literature. I offer a free consultation before we begin our lessons to discuss your personal language-learning goals, and we will utilize the first session to create a lesson plan and timeline adjusted to your needs.

I pre-make vocabulary and grammar flashcards before each lesson for us to go over in class, and give you access to study on your own. Each of my lessons are based around specific themes, customized around your learning objectives. Previous themes have included:

1. ¡Vamos de Viaje! (Let's Go On a Trip!)- Study of future tense and travel vocabulary by creating a travel itinerary to a country of the students' choosing.
2. Un Momento Histórico (A Historical Moment) - Study of preterite/imperfect tenses and thematically relevant vocabulary via a study of historical text from a provided list of options, or of the students' choosing.
3. ¿Cómo se Pronuncia? (How is it Pronounced?) - Phonetic study and coaching via a select Spanish/Latin American film within a genre of the students' choosing, picked by me according to skill level.
4. ¡Habla Como un Nativo! (Speak like a Native Speaker!) - Learning colloquial slang from a film in a particular country's dialect. I am very familiar with a wide variety of Spanish dialects, and especially with Spain Spanish and Chilean Spanish.
5. Literatura Esencial (Essential Literature) - Reading select passages of the most iconic works of Spanish and Latin American literature for reading comprehension and vocabulary-building (I am a big fan of horror and magical realism!). For lower skill levels, I also have access to an on-tap reserve of YA novels in Spanish.
