Katia Duranza
About
As a teacher, it is my goal to adapt to the needs of each student. Not only regarding their schedules, but also in their preferences and objectives.
In addition to my training and experience in Spanish and English, I create spaces of trust in which my students can relax and feel able to ask and speak in Spanish without fear of making mistakes, thus achieving a constant advance in language management. I also provide creative activities, that include games, music and even puppets!
The satisfaction of my students when they realize that each time they speak, they write and read better and more fluently. I make sure that my students enjoy each class, which makes me enjoy them as well.
Also being in contact with people who enjoy learning and who are constant in what they do is a very rewarding experience

Katia is great! I scheduled my first lesson with her and she started right on time, even messaged me right before to ensure I was ready. She makes you feel very comfortable speaking with her in Spanish and goes just slow enough to make sure you really understand. She has a great way of explaining things in both English and Spanish. I am looking forward to more classes with her.

Katia tutored my daughter in college level Spanish. I cannot thank her enough for the extra time she spent planning each session and explaining thoroughly what was taught that day and what the goals were for the next session.

Katia taught me numerous ways to think about and learn the Preterite and Imperfect tenses. She understands fundamentally how to teach Spanish. She made sure I understood the basics first and gave me tips that only an experienced teacher could

Katia is very professional. We always get a reminder of our lesson and an excellent follow up on what she and my daughter worked on. Truly helped my daughter excell in Spanish!

Katia is a very passionate Spanish tutor. She is patient and knows how it is important to build a foundation at the beginning. I have the sense that if I stayed focused and practice, Katia will lead me to way of learning Spanish from a foundation of understanding that will allow my skills in reading writing and speaking this beautiful language grow and blossom.
