Fun, Immersive, and Focused : Learn Spanish with a Native Spanish Teacher/Tutor with years of experience!

¡Hola! My name is Mariella Gunderson (former Mariella Munoz), and I am a native Spanish tutor with a degree in Education and a passion for helping students achieve fluid communication. With more than 20 years of experience teaching both adults in individual or small-group settings and children from Pre-Kindergarten through Middle School in private institutions, I have developed a versatile approach that meets learners exactly where they are. I understand that learning a foreign language can often feel overwhelming. To combat this, I utilize a fun, immersive methodology that prioritizes understanding and speaking from the very first session. Rather than focusing solely on rote memorization, I teach "real-life Spanish." Having traveled extensively throughout Latin America, I also provide my students with valuable insights into the regional nuances and cultural differences that make the language so rich. In addition to general language instruction, I offer a specialized track for medical professionals. These classes focus on medical terminology and clinical communication, empowering healthcare providers to bridge the language gap and provide more effective, compassionate care to their Spanish-speaking patients. I pride myself on being highly reliable and deeply committed to my students' progress. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to the opportunity to discuss how I can help you or your organization reach your language goals. ¡Hasta luego!
