What I Offer
I use a cognitive linguistics approach to help you understand the logic behind the language. Instead of memorizing rules, you’ll see how Spanish speakers conceptualize ideas—making it easier to grasp complex topics like the subjunctive mood or tricky prepositions. This method helps you think in Spanish naturally and use structures more accurately and confidently.
✨ Whether you’re a beginner or just want to sound more natural, I’ll help you get there with warmth and clarity.

Marcela is an amazing teacher. Her classes are fun and I’ve improved so much without feeling stressed!
I needed Spanish for my job and had many gaps in grammar. Marcela's lessons helped me improve quickly and feel more confident. She's patient, clear, and knows how to present complex grammar topics in an easy way.
I started taking lessons with Marcela before traveling through South America. Her classes were fun, super practical, and full of cultural tips. I felt much more prepared to speak with locals and understand the language beyond textbooks.
