WHY LEARN SPANISH WITH INA?
I AM A NATIVE SPEAKER AND I’VE BEEN AROUND
I was born and raised in Buenos Aires, Argentina. It was there that I found out about my passion for languages and my passion for teaching. I decided to combine both of them and this is what came out of it: I’ve been teaching Spanish since the early 90’s and it is what I have been doing for a living ever since! Having near thirty years of experience makes me quite confident on my skills.
IT IS FUN!
One of my personal goals when teaching is for students to get to have fun while learning. I believe that a joyful environment is key in the learning process. I encourage students to feel confident enough to tell me what is working for them and what is not, so that it becomes a really personalized experience.
IT IS AFFORDABLE!
Some people believe that learning a new language will take expensive lessons. That is simply not true! One of the good points of learning Spanish with me are my fees and flexibility.

Ina is an incredible Spanish tutor. I have been taking lessons with her for the past 3 months. I’ve previously taken Spanish lessons as an adult and have struggled and given up, but she has been able to really make a difference and break … More through. Not only have I improved my Spanish skills but she has also improved my confidence.
She is positive, giving me words of encouragement when I stumble over words and offers compassion and empathy, which makes a big difference!
She encourages me to practice on my own and to do homework because it really does make a difference even if it's just 10 mins a day. I like how our sessions are friendly and it helps me feel more relaxed and comfortable. She is always kind and patient when we have to repeat an exercise if needed. The sessions are a mix of worksheets, workbook and off the cuff chatter which is great, it keeps you on your toes!
I recommend her to anyone and am grateful to be learning from a skilled teacher! -

Ina is absolutely wonderful! I simply can not think of a single time where I’ve been disappointed with her teaching quality and approach. She also happens to be a very warm and wonderful exceptional person.
Ina is very clear in her teaching … More and incredibly patient. She is very willing to review grammar as frequently as I need to. I was raised with a grandparent and a parent who spoke Spanish to each other but discouraged the kids from speaking Spanish. This caused some very bad habits on my part and some shame that impacted my readiness to learn Spanish.
However, I made a commitment when I turned sixty to finally learn Spanish! I fund Ina on the internet about a year ago and am SO happy I did. I am extremely pleased with my progress and have Ina to thank.
If you are looking for a concise and patient teacher, AND someone who makes you laugh, call Ina. You will not be disappointed!! -

When Covid started in March 2020 I had a lot of time on my hands so I decided to dust off the cobwebs from my high school Spanish brain cells, buy a workbook and start studying Spanish on my own. I was fairly consistent with this for a … More year, using workbooks and the internet. I felt that my progress was going slower than expected, and I realized I actually needed to SPEAK Spanish in order to progress faster. I searched online for a teacher for one on one online instruction and found Ina. This has been the greatest decision. Ina determined my level of Spanish and we began lessons from there. Every minute of the lesson is beneficial. We speak back and forth in Spanish and she gently corrects me when necessary. We also use the workbook she requires so there is always homework to go over. She is always on time and there is no time wasted during the lesson. Ina is also very nice and easy to work with. She was my first ever Zoom meeting! I highly recommend her if you want to begin learning Spanish or take your current knowledge to the next level. -
