About

This course is perfect for beginners!  If you're feeling a bit intimidated about learning Spanish, this is the course for you 🫵. We'll cover some basics, from the alphabet and sentence structure to phonics, pronouns, basic verbs, and nouns, plus a few extras. And don’t worry, I’ll make sure learning is fun and engaging 🕺🕺, so you can expect Kahoot games, memes and tiktoks in this course. Hope to see you here soon 🎉!!

Tutor Qualifications

I'm a native Spanish speaker, born and raised in Costa Rica. I’ve never taken formal Spanish courses, but I have participated in public speaking and Spanish literature classes, allowing me to understand and express myself at a college level. I’ve also helped many friends and family members improve their writing, reading, and speaking skills.

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

If you want to make progress, I recommend attending as many classes as you can. Learning a language should be something you want to do, not a chore, so I don’t want you to feel forced. However, anyone with more than 3 unexcused absences will be withdrawn from the series.

About the Tutor

Hi, I'm Evita I am excited to look for communities where I can learn and help others too. I'm here to help with maths, science, and Spanish as I'm a native speaker. I usually spend my free time reading (mostly romance), playing piano and drawing. When I'm not doing these, you'll find me doing all sorts of things, crocheting, making flower arrangements, papercrafting, programming and dancing.
