About Stephanie
I worked as a software engineer for years, having originally learned much of my own Spanish while relocating for work rather than through traditional classroom study beforehand. Five years into teaching now, I've worked with about eighty-five students, many of them fellow professionals or students heading into international careers themselves. My tech background gives me unusually direct insight into exactly what kind of Spanish actually matters in a modern workplace, insight generic teachers often lack completely. I work particularly well with students in or entering professional fields, since I understand precisely the specific communication challenges that environment genuinely presents day to day. My teaching style is practical and structured, reflecting my own engineering background, though I remain genuinely patient with students working through unfamiliar, sometimes intimidating material. I have guided numerous students toward confident workplace communication, drawing on real, lived professional experience rather than purely academic Spanish training alone. Students consistently tell me the specificity of my work-focused lessons feels far more useful than generic classes they tried previously elsewhere. I take genuine pride in helping students walk confidently into a meeting or write a genuinely clear professional message in Spanish. After five years, I remain genuinely passionate about this practical teaching approach.

I learned much of my own Spanish while working in tech abroad, surrounded by documentation, stand-up meetings, and code reviews rather than a traditional classroom setting. My lessons lean heavily toward practical, tech-relevant Spanish, reading documentation, writing clear messages to colleagues, explaining technical ideas simply and confidently. Vocabulary focuses on workplace and technical communication, the exact words I personally needed and often lacked during my own early, confusing days working abroad. Grammar gets taught through real workplace writing, emails, messages, technical explanations, since that's genuinely where I noticed my own Spanish needed the most improvement. I run mock meetings and workplace conversations, giving students realistic practice explaining technical or professional work clearly under mild real time pressure. Listening practice includes workplace meeting recordings, exposing students to natural, sometimes fast speech they'll actually encounter in real professional environments. I teach students to ask clarifying questions confidently in meetings, a skill that took me embarrassingly long to develop myself during my early career abroad. Writing clear, concise professional messages gets dedicated focus, since I watched unclear communication cause real confusion and wasted time repeatedly in team settings. Every lesson stays genuinely practical and workplace-focused, built from real professional experience rather than generic assumptions.
