Hola, soy Kathryn.

¡Hola familia!  I’m Kathryn, a New York-certified Spanish teacher from the US, living in Alicante Spain. 

I work with preteens, teens, and some adults. I’ve been teaching since 2012 and started online when I came to live in Spain in 2018.

I use authentic resources in class to expose students to real-world Spanish, get them speaking, and provide the tools to understand. The most important element in my classes is building confidence to knock out any fear of taking risks in the new language.
