¡Hola! Soy Sofía.
I’m a language teacher and a translator with a passion for languages, travel, arts, and different cultures.
I’ve been to more than 40 countries, taught Spanish in 4 of them and nowadays I continue to explore the world as I work and travel. I’m from Argentina where I spend most summers, some months you might find me working remotely wherever an internet connection allows.
To me, language is a tool to connect with other humans and to get us closer to each other. I’ve found that once you know the language of a people, you can finally relate to them as an equal, in a more authentic and humble way.
Why is my travelling experience so important?
Well, apart from being ready to discuss any topic with an open non – judgmental mind, my years around the world have given me (and continue to give me) a true understanding of what language topics should be taught, when and why.
How important is grammar?
Is pronunciation relevant?
Do you have to know all the tenses to consider yourself “fluent”?
Is there a “magical formula” for learning a language?
Are all languages the same?
Is writing important?
What is the “level” of a student?
Which is the “best” Spanish dialect?
Those are some of the many questions that I’ve asked and answered before, and with those answers, I have developed my teaching method.
This is what I firmly believe in:
- $Everyone can learn Spanish, no matter the age or mother tongue.
- $You might learn “faster” if you already know a second language, or if your mother language is Latin derived.
- $Practicing regularly makes a difference. Do your homework!
- $Not everyone learns in the same way. Experiment! Maybe flashcards are good for you, maybe writing, maybe reading. Don’t be afraid to ask your teacher for suggestions.
- $Levels are standards for exams. You might be great at reading but struggle to communicate in a basic situation. Don’t trust levels so much, follow your goals.
- $Grammar is important, it is like the “skeleton“ of the language, but it doesn’t mean that you must get everything perfect to be understood. Perfect grammar takes time and lots of practice, be patient!
- $The Spanish language is as varied as the countries that speak it and my method aims at teaching a neutral form, unless you specifically want to learn the Argentinian way.

Success stories
“I’ve been working with Sofia going on two years now. Out of the 20+ Spanish teachers I’ve had on different platforms, she definitely ranks as one of the most organized, professional, and knowledgeable teachers I’ve had. Lessons are structured based on student’s levels and needs, materials for homework (exercises, articles, etc.) are shared prior to class, and she always comes to class engaged with good energy and ready to help me meet my language goals. Also worth noting that her command of English is native level.”
“I’ve been taking lessons with Sofía for over a year now and she is one of the best tutors I’ve had. I asked her to help introduce me to more Latin American literature, and she’s gone above and beyond to introduce me to famous writers as well as those known in smaller circles. My reading comprehension has skyrocketed after our classes and I’ve gone from struggling heavily with Spanish texts to being able to now comfortably read the majority of what I come across.”
“I could always count on her to come to class on time and to be well-prepared. Despite her considerable knowledge of Spanish grammar concepts, literature analysis, and Latin American world history, she never came across as a “know-it-all”, and instead was so patient, kind, and easygoing. Every lesson felt like a lesson with a friend (who makes you feel smarter by proxy, lol!). Sofía is a truly great professor who you will not regret spending time with. ¡Gracias, Sofía!”
“Sofia is an amazing teacher! It’s been about 18 months and in that time I’ve gone from knowing no Spanish to being able to speak and comprehend more than I could have imagined. Sofia is always prepared, encouraging and fun! I recommend her to anyone – Gracias Sofia!”
“I really love having Spanish classes with Sofia! She is sweet, patient, and caring. We’ve talked about many topics and I think both of us have had a better understanding of each other’s culture. Feel free to make mistakes in the class because she would nicely point it out! Thank you so much and wish you all the best:)”
“Sofia has been a brilliant teacher. She is patient and helpful and has allowed me to work at my own pace. I’m looking forward to the next lesson!”
“Me and my friend have been studying Spanish with Sofia for almost a month, and it’s going great! Sofia is very motivating and patient teacher and cheer you up even for a small success, wich iss very helpful espessialy for total beginners like us. Classes are interactive, we speak more nd more each class and learn new vocabulary and grammar in use, not only in theory. Materials are always well prepared, and Sofia makes notes during the class, so we don’t lose any piece of information we covered, which is really helpful! Muchas gracias!”
“Sofia is a wonderful, patient, and dedicated teacher. She really puts her heart into her work and is committed to her students’ growth. Highly recommend her!”
“Sofia is a very good teacher. I have a learned a lot from her this past year, enough to feel confident in conversing with other native Spanish speakers; I have even made friends from Mexico and the Dominican Republic. She is always prepared and her classes are very engaging. You can really see her passion for teaching. ¡Gracias por todo Sofia!”
“Sofia is a fabulous teacher! In addition to being warm, encouraging, and easy to talk to, she does an amazing job tailoring my lessons to my specific needs. I am working on preparing for an oral exam that will cover topics very specific to my profession, and Sofia creates lessons that help me practice this niche and sometimes very technical vocabulary. Thank you so much, Sofia!”
“Las clases con Sofía son siempre interesantes y están bien preparadas. Gracias a ella he hecho grandes progresos y soy capaz de expresarme con más fluidez y precisión en español. Sofía es amable, paciente y explica las cosas con detalle. Recomiendo las clases con ella a cualquiera persona que quiere avanzar su español.”
“Sofía is really helping me progress so much! I basically started from scratch and now I can really understand a lot and am starting to get better at responding in Spanish. Sofia always has a great structured way to teach grammar and provides great resources to practice outside of class. I feel really lucky to have her as my teacher.”
“ALL CAPS BECAUSE I WANT EVERYONE TO KNOW HOW AMAZING OF A TEACHER SOFIA IS !!! SHE CUSTOMIZED LESSONS THAT FIT MY LEARNING STYLE AND SHE IS VERY UNDERSTAND AND PATIENT. SHE IS ALWAYS UPBEAT AND FULL OF SMILES AND I TRUELY APPRECIATE HER!”
