Hello everyone! My name is Julieta. I live in Córdoba, Argentina. I have more than 11 years of experience teaching Spanish to children, teenagers and adults. I love teaching! I adapt my classes to my students’ interest and as a Spanish immersion language teacher, I conduct them all in Spanish. But don’t worry, we can understand each other!
I graduated from UNVM (Córdoba, Argentina) as a language and literature teacher. I am also specialized in teaching Spanish as a foreign language. I conducted various trainings on creative writing, literacy, reading comprehension as well as communication.
In my spare time, I like to be with my family, go to the park with my pets and watch series. I am a very curious person that’s why I live reading and learning about the many cultures around the world.
It is my wish to accompany you in your beautiful learning journey.
Let’s start! I am waiting for you!
Vicky is from Buenos Aires, Argentina. She has been focusing on teaching Spanish as a foreign language for over 6 years. Not only does she loves to teach, but she also loves to learn languages. That’s why she speaks fluent English and is learning German. Apart from dedicating herself to languages, Vicky is an actress and is familiar with the different varieties of European and Latin American Spanish and their accents.
She adapts her classes to the student’s level and pace. The most important thing for Vicky is that her students feel comfortable and learn to communicate in a fun atmosphere. She uses authentic materials, such as videos, articles and songs for her students to be in contact with the « real Spanish » from day one and she is open to talk about any theme, from food and travel, to politics and philosophy.

Hi everyone! I'm Paola, a native Italian speaker from Lake Como. I've been teaching Italian professionally for three years to students from all over the world. I am friendly and easy going. I have a standard program that I adapt to my students’ needs, focusing more on conversational skills rather than grammar or vice versa. Depending on the students’ level, I can also use videos, texts, exercises, being flexible as possible according to
the preference of each student. Remember, learning a language has to be a fun activity, always!
I am a language student as well. I speak fluent English and Spanish, very basic French and I started recently learning Arabic (a crazy challenge!). It’s fun, especially when I travel. I actually travel a lot, I’m kind of a digital nomad and my students are used to follow my trips and share with me all their thoughts about different cultures, lifestyles, languages, etcetera…
So, I’m here to help you learn / improve your Italian skills, feel free to schedule a class with me!
Karole
French Teacher
Hello everyone!
My name is Karole, I am a native French speaker and I currently live in New Caledonia, a French paradise island (overseas community) located in the Pacific Ocean. I graduated from the University of Montpellier in France, in teaching French as a foreign language. I have been teaching French to foreigners for 8 years. I chose this profession because I really enjoy teaching others. I also appreciate exchanging and sharing with others, discovering our cultural differences which are so enriching and nourishing.
My parents are originally from Spain, so I myself grew up in this duality of languages. So, I know that it is not always easy, but I will do everything to make it as comfortable as possible for my students! My classes are dynamic and cover all the skills needed to learn a language: listening to recordings, reading various documents, grammar exercises (as fun as possible!) and conversation (oral expression). I can also offer homework, especially to work on written expression or grammar.
My specialization is teaching beginners (levels A0-A1-A2) as well as training for the DELF A1 and A2 exams and the TCF. I hope to see you very soon in my classes! À très vite!
Valeria
Italian Teacher
©2017 by PROLANG, LLC
Buongiorno! I'm Valeria, a native Italian speaker from a village near La Spezia, in Liguria, that is to say, on the northwest coast, between Genoa and Pisa. This province is known as Cinque Terre, five very pretty little villages between hills and sea. However, I am now living in Cadiz, the Atlantic city
of southern Spain, that almost borders Africa. I speak English, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese and I am currently learning French and Moroccan Arabic.
Studying a language is an adventure in which both creativity and control are practiced, a continuous discovery that involves constant self-improvement and broadens capacities, horizons and possibilities.
My lessons are personalized, highly structured and deliberately improvised. In my 25-year experience and studies I’ve been collecting methods, materials and strategies that match the students’ needs and styles of learning at all levels:
starting from scratch, improving their performance, preparing exams and practicing cross-cultural communication.
Since 2019, I have been working exclusively as an online Italian teacher, teaching students from various countries around the world. I am looking forward to working with you.
