"Learning a language is one of the most rewarding adventures anyone can embark upon. I can help you navigate the challenges of learning Spanish with kindness, humor, tons of creativity, and insight from wherever you are."

 

¡Hola! I’m Rocío.


A teacher, creator, and cheerful troublemaker from Madrid, based in NYC, dedicated to help you become a confident Spanish speaker with outstanding results in real time — while having a blast.


 

"My work is devoted to teach and motivate you - even when the challenges of mastering a new language seem insurmountable - and to make time fly, with lessons presented in a clear, organized manner but that are hardly cookie-cutter."

 

What makes my Spanish classes fabulous?

My dynamic and varied teaching style means that it doesn’t feel like work. I tailor the content to reflect your interests, curiosities and needs and use relevant examples from Spanish, Latinx, and Latin-American culture. My fluency in English allows me to communicate each lesson with great clarity. The Spanish language is fun, dynamic, cosmopolitan – just like the classes I teach.

Want to know more about me?

I’m from Alcalá de Henares, Madrid, hometown of Miguel de Cervantes, author of Don Quixote, and a historical university city where the first ever Spanish grammar book was written. I moved to New York City in 2006. (To my parents, this was the equivalent of moving to another planet.) I started teaching 20 years ago, after graduating from the University of Fine Arts in Madrid. I have taught at the University of Barcelona, been a guest lecturer at the University of Alcalá de Henares since 2008, and taught Spanish at Instituto Cervantes New York since 2011. I have a passion for art, food, and fashion. I design my own clothes and host culinary events over Zoom from my charming space in the Upper East Side.
