About Damaris
My name is Damaris, and I am a certified Spanish as a Foreign Language (ELE) teacher with formal training from Oxford House Barcelona, a language school fully accredited by the Instituto Cervantes - the world's most prestigious institution for Spanish language education, recognized internationally as the official authority on Spanish teaching standards.
My certification was obtained through a rigorous, comprehensive program that covers the most current and effective methodologies in language teaching, including communicative language teaching, task-based learning, lesson planning and sequencing, learner needs analysis, grammar and lexical instruction, phonetics and pronunciation, and the use of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR/MCER) to assess and guide student progress.
I bring to every lesson not only solid academic preparation, but also genuine teaching experience working with adult learners from diverse cultural backgrounds and language levels. I have designed and delivered complete lesson plans, units, and courses for learners ranging from complete beginners (A1) to upper-intermediate speakers (B2), always following internationally recognized teaching standards.
My virtual teaching experience includes conducting live online classes via Zoom and Microsoft Teams, managing interactive tools and activities, adapting in real time to students' needs, and creating a productive, engaging, and supportive learning environment - all of which are essential skills for effective online language instruction.
I am deeply committed to my own professional development. I continuously update my knowledge of current ELE methodologies, explore new teaching resources and platforms, and reflect critically on my practice in order to offer my students the highest quality of instruction possible.
When you book a lesson with me, you are not just hiring a native Spanish speaker - you are working with a trained, certified, and dedicated language professional who takes your learning seriously and is fully committed to helping you achieve your goals.
Your progress is my priority. Your success is my greatest reward.

I use the communicative approach, which means my students learn Spanish by actually USING it from the very first lesson - not by memorizing endless grammar rules or translating word by word. Every class is designed around real-life situations, meaningful conversations, and practical vocabulary that students will actually use in their daily lives. I combine:
️ Conversation practice from day one
Structured grammar explanations - clear, simple, and always in context
Vocabulary building through themes, chunks, and real expressions
Listening and pronunciation work - so you sound natural and confident
️ Reading and writing activities - developing all four language skills
Interactive games and activities using platforms like Educaplay to make learning fun and engaging
Constant feedback - gentle, encouraging correction that builds confidence
A TYPICAL LESSON WITH ME:
Every lesson follows a clear, logical sequence designed to maximize learning:
Warm-up (5 min) - We activate prior knowledge and ease into the topic with a question or light conversation
Presentation (15 min) - I introduce new language (grammar, vocabulary, or functions) through context, never in isolation
Guided practice (15 min) - We work through exercises together, building understanding step by step
Free production (15 min) - You use the new language creatively and spontaneously in conversation or activities
Wrap-up (5 min) - We review what we learned, I give feedback, and we set goals for next time
Every lesson has a clear objective, and by the end you will always walk away having learned something new AND knowing how to use it!
WHAT SETS ME APART:
Instituto Cervantes accredited certification - my training follows the highest international standards for Spanish language teaching
Native Spanish speaker - born and raised in Puerto Rico, I bring authentic, natural Spanish to every lesson, including cultural nuances, regional expressions, and real-world language
I teach adults - I understand that adult learners have busy lives, specific goals, and different learning needs than children. My lessons respect your time, your intelligence, and your pace
Warm and patient teaching style - I create a safe, judgment-free space where making mistakes is celebrated as part of the learning process. No pressure, no stress - just real progress
Highly personalized - before we start, I conduct a needs analysis to understand exactly what you want to achieve. Your goals shape every single lesson
Virtual teaching expertise - I am fully equipped to deliver engaging, interactive online lessons using Zoom and Microsoft Teams, with shared screens, interactive materials, and breakout activities
WHO MY LESSONS ARE FOR:
My lessons are designed for adult learners (18 and older) of all levels:
Complete beginners (A1) - starting from zero, learning greetings, introductions, and basic everyday language
Elementary (A2) - building confidence with everyday conversations, present and past tenses, and essential vocabulary
Intermediate (B1-B2) - developing fluency, tackling complex grammar, expressing opinions, and handling real-world situations with confidence
My lessons are especially perfect for:
People planning to travel or move to a Spanish-speaking country
Professionals who need Spanish for work
People who want to connect with Spanish-speaking family members
Anyone who simply loves languages and wants to communicate with over 500 million Spanish speakers worldwide
No matter your reason for learning, I will meet you exactly where you are and take you exactly where you want to go. ¡Vamos!

Damaris is an extremely passionate and professional teacher with the care of a mother, she will go above and beyond to ensure you are well taken care of!
I've known Damaris for many years and I've come to know her as a compassionate, patient person who is dedicated to helping others where she can. As someone who is learning to speak Spanish better, Damaris has been a great contributor to my improvement by teaching me the differences between Spanish and English. After each lesson, she encourages me to practice what I have learned by speaking with her and others who understand as much as possible. I believe that Damaris will make an excellent tutor for those wanting to learn Spanish.
I have known Damaris for many years and have always admired her patience, kindness, and ability to communicate with people. She is friendly, dependable, and genuinely enjoys helping others ️
Very supportive and patient with a great knowledge of the Spanish language. Her lessons are fun and easy to understand. Highly recommended!
