About
I am Raquel, a Spanish teacher with training in translation and Spanish language and literature. With more than 3 years of classroom experience and more than 3,500 online classes, I have helped students of all levels to speak with ease and understand the real and everyday Spanish that we speak every day.
My method? A combination of flipped classroom and communicative approach, with interactive materials and real-life situations so that you speak naturally and manage to integrate in Spain. Whether you are learning for travel, work or personal growth, I give you the structure and guidance you need to speak with confidence and be 100% yourself in Spanish.
