Introduction
¡Hola! My name is Karen, and I’m a native Spanish speaker from Colombia. I’m currently in my final year of university, graduating next year with a minor in Spanish and a focus on translation. I have over four years of experience tutoring Spanish, and I love making language learning enjoyable and accessible! My classes are interactive and fun. We’ll explore Spanish through reading comprehension, video-based learning, song translation, and grammar practice. Lessons are always tailored to your level and interests, whether you're just beginning or looking to refine your skills. I aim to create a supportive and encouraging learning space where you can feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes. Learning a new language can feel intimidating, so I always try to approach teaching with patience and compassion. The price listed is for a 30-minute session, perfect for focused, flexible learning, but we can absolutely talk about other options if you’re interested in a 1-hour lesson instead. I’d be happy to help you on your Spanish journey. ¡Vamos a aprender juntos!

Karen is teaching me Spanish. She is tailoring her instruction to my level and is teaching me in a way that makes me feel relaxed and able to speak a foreign language right from the start. The one-on-one instruction is helping my pronunciation and ability to converse well beyond what I would be a able to do with textbooks or software.

I've had multiple Spanish tutors over the last few years, and Karen is the best. She is friendly, professional, and tailors lessons to my interests. I would highly recommend her!

It has always been difficult for me to learn Spanish in a classroom setting, so I opted for a private instructor, and I am very pleased to be working with Karen SIerra. She uses different techniques in her teaching -- reading, speaking, videos, stories, and verb conjugation. It is great that after each class she gives me the materials we used in our session, not as homework, but for me to have and review if I wish. The little Spanish I do know is just a simple, family Spanish as I am a second generation Mexican American who was raised speaking English. My goal is to become conversationally fluent, and with each class, I gain more confidence I am going to be able to do that by working with Karen. We also work together virtually which means I can continue with her when I move or when I am traveling. I highly recommend Karen if you are a beginner, or like me, someone with some knowledge of Spanish who wants to learn more.

I have had a great experience with Karen so far. Her method of teaching the language is very seamless and easy to pick up! I feel like I have already learned so much in just 3 classes and would totally recommend her as a Spanish teacher.
