About Mirna
Hola! I'm Mirna, a native Spanish speaker from Mexico with a passion for languages and cultures. I hold a bachelor's degree in Foreign Language Teaching, a diploma in EN-SP Specialized Translation, a Licence Professionnelle or L3 degree in International Hospitality by the University of Nantes (France), the Cambridge Teaching Knowledge Test certificate (TKT), and two C1 language proficiency certificates in English and French: Cambridge Advanced English (CAE) and Diplôme Approfondi de Langue Française (DALF). My passion for languages translates into 20 years of learning languages myself (currently fluent in four) and more than 1400 hours of Spanish tutoring. Thanks to my personal and academic journey, I have gained a deeper understanding of the language acquisition process. This led me to develop effective language learning strategies (that I'll share with you!), as well as various teaching techniques for different student profiles and learning styles. In my pursuit of offering engaging lessons, I have also created (and I keep creating!) original materials, as well as comprehensive and adaptable lesson plans. These have proven fruitful throughout my daily practice, benefiting students of all backgrounds.

MY APPROACH I truly believe that learning a language is no different from learning any other new skill. It takes time, dedication, patience, and a lot of practice! There's enthusiasm, frustration, excitement, discouragement, and even emotions such as anxiety and nervousness when it comes to speaking. As a teacher, I like to accompany my students throughout this process by providing a comfortable and safe space where they can make mistakes, gain confidence, and have a real sense of their progress. It is also important for me to establish a connection with my students, and I do so by being open and engaging in authentic, real-life conversations. After all, we learn languages to communicate and successful communication includes both comprehension and speech. HOW WILL YOU LEARN? On the one hand, spontaneous, natural conversation will be at the core of our lessons, as much as you will allow, and dependent on your level. On the other hand, with the aid of study materials, we'll go through the functional elements of the language and grammar, which will be quickly applied in a real-life context. You'll be able to work on systematization exercises, emphasizing repetition over memorization (don't worry, it won't be textbook boring!). I will provide further written and oral practice for each study subject customized for a student's strengths and weaknesses. Beyond the core learning process, we'll make time for pronunciation, vocabulary, written expression, or reading comprehension, guided by your progress and specific goals. Do you want a full conversation session? It is possible! Let's talk about it. LEVELS Advanced beginners through advanced users of the language (A2+, B1, B2, C1), university students, adults, and professionals.

Mirna is an amazing Spanish teacher! She makes learning fun and easy to understand. Her focus on conversation has really boosted my confidence, and she’s always patient and helpful. If you want to improve your Spanish, Mirna’s the best!
I have been learning Spanish with Mirna for at least twice a week for over two years now. I have had several Spanish tutors over the years and simply stated, "Mirna is the best". She is always prepared for our classes and teaches using a variety of techniques that makes her classes interesting and very fun to attend. Her classes are tailored to your needs and goals and she has the patience of a Saint. She also has a great sense of humor. Mirna engages you with "real life" conversations that give you the confidence to speak Spanish in public with total strangers.
I cannot speak highly enough about Mirna and I HIGHLY recommend her for your private Spanish tutoring.I have known Mirna for almost three years and have been taking on line Spanish tutoring services from her during that time. Mirna has been instrumental in my Spanish learning journey and I give her much of the credit in the realization of my dream of becoming proficient in my beloved second language. In addition to her impeccable qualifications, Mirna possesses a unique ability to accelerate the learning process and make concepts "stick". There have been a number of times where I somehow recall a rule or an expression and immediately apply it in the moment. During our lessons she keeps the subject matter interesting and often I am amazed at the depth I am able to communicate. This professor is always well prepared, on time and "on her game". Anxiety and fear held me back for a long time but Mirna knew just how far to push me until, over time, I was able to overcome these emotions and become so much more comfortable. While Mirna is a native Spanish speaker, it is her command of English that really has helped me better understand the more difficult concepts. Immersion is great but when all else fails, an English explanation can be a life saver. I have had numerous "aha" moments in this way. Language learning still requires a significant amount of study time, but with Mirna as your tutor, I am confident you will reach your goals.
I’ve been learning Spanish with Mirna for around 2 years now and my Spanish has steadily improved from a beginner to an advanced intermediate level. Mirna personalises our lessons, not only according to the gaps in my knowledge base, but also to my interests and passions. This means that lessons are bespoke to me and address the areas where I need to improve, using subjects that I like. These customized lessons coupled with the fact they’re one on one means that I – as a student – receive a much richer learning experience than other language classes I have attended in a group setting. Moreover, besides being an excellent teacher, Mirna also brings the right blend of humour, encouragement, and excitement to the class that maintains and inspires motivation. I thoroughly intend to continue my Spanish learning adventure with Mirna until I hopefully (she would say assuredly) reach fluency.
