Hi! I'm Ana Paula, from Mexico City. I'm passionate about languages and love sharing them with others to exchange cultures!
Spanish is my native language, and I learned English from a young age. I began learning Italian at 13 but stopped after a year. Later, during university, I decided to give it a second chance and continue my Italian journey by teaching it to myself and by traveling to Italy for six months, volunteering and living in small towns.
This experience gave me the opportunity to gain better skills and understand everyday conversation.
I don’t believe in overwhelming grammar or memorizing endless lists of vocabulary. Language learning should feel practical, confidence-building, and connected to real life.
My Teaching Technique
That’s why my lessons are dynamic and interactive. I incorporate songs, stories, videos, and other creative tools to help improve memory and language comprehension.
Since everyone learns differently, I adapt my material and the level to your needs, all while having fun along the way!
