About your spanish tutor
I’m Michelle Urquijo, a trilingual language educator from Colombia with a Bachelor’s degree in Spanish and Foreign Languages. I have over 7 years of experience teaching and tutoring students of all ages and backgrounds in both classroom and virtual environments. I’ve worked as a Spanish language assistant in France, taught French and Spanish in Colombian schools, and supported learners through customized, dynamic lessons tailored to their goals. Whether you’re preparing for an exam, building your conversation skills, or exploring Latin American culture, I bring patience, energy, and real-world experience into every class. I specialize in pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary development, and cultural immersion, always adapting to your pace and learning style. Let’s make language learning exciting, practical, and empowering and unlock your full potential in Spanish!

Spanish classes highlights
My teaching approach is grounded in the action-oriented methodology proposed by the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). I believe that language is not only a system of rules to memorize, but a powerful tool for real-life interaction. Therefore, I design my lessons around authentic communicative tasks that allow students to use Spanish in meaningful, practical ways. I encourage learners to actively participate, take risks, and become confident speakers through simulated situations, cultural discussions, and personalized activities. Over the past 7 years, I’ve taught students of all ages from children to adults across different settings, including public schools, private institutions, and one-on-one virtual tutoring. My experience as a Spanish language assistant in France has deeply shaped my teaching style: I focus on intercultural understanding, creative problem-solving, and student-led learning. I integrate grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, and culture into every session, always adapting to the learner’s pace, background, and goals.
