Adriana L.

Spanish/French Instructor

Hola! My name is Adriana, and I am a French and Spanish teacher. I am from Bogotá, Colombia, where we speak a very neutral Spanish—perfect for communicating with people from different Latin American countries.

I have taught Spanish to children, teenagers, and adults in France, the United States (having lived in beautiful North Dakota and Minnesota), and India. I hold a bachelor’s degree in language teaching from a university in Colombia and a master’s degree in Spanish literature and culture from a French university.

My passion is teaching language through cultural immersion so students not only learn its structure but also gain a deeper understanding of different people and places while making connections to their own culture. I design lessons based on students’ interests, allowing them to talk about their favorite activities. My approach to grammar ensures that students spend minimal time memorizing rules and more time speaking and using the language in real conversations. Every class is unique, and I enrich the learning process through music, arts, leisure activities, and literature.

I am curious, proactive, and very patient. In my free time, I enjoy reading, watching sitcoms, and spending time with my family. I also love listening to English and French music. Looking forward to sharing my experiences with you!
