Hola! Hi! I am passionate about teaching languages and I am here to help you boost your language skills through dynamic lessons, in which I will do my best for you to feel confident to ask any kind of questions so you can keep improving your abilities.

I love to work with authentic materials such as videos, movie clips, songs, different kinds of text, idiomatic phrases and more, so that my students can gain a wide understanding of the language and are able to communicate.

I have been teaching English as Second Language for four years now in different contexts, to different ages and all different levels. I have taught in Argentina to children aged 8-11 at A1-A2 level; teenagers aged 12-18 (all levels, from A1 to C1); and also adults at levels A1, B1+ and conversation classes.

As regards Spanish, I have experience at Bard College, NY, USA. I taught classes here during the Fall of 2023 and Spring 2024. This was part of a Fulbright FLTA scholarship I got. I gained lots of experience teaching my native language, which I love! During my time in the USA, not only I focused on Spanish lessons, but I also completed a TESOL Certification and continued to tutor in English as a Second Language to students of different cultures and different background languages.

My goal is that you can communicate effectively in the target language in a real-world context! What is yours? Contact me and let's get to work on it together! :)

I had the pleasure of working with Lucila as my Spanish tutor during Intermediate Spanish 202 at Bard College, NY. As an Argentine on a Fulbright Scholarship, she brought passion and expertise to our weekly sessions. Lucila was always well-prepared, focusing on grammar, common homework mistakes, and providing valuable feedback. She enriched our learning with readings, videos, poetry, and music related to Spanish literature and film, which deepened our understanding. Lucila also helped with exam prep and class projects, ensuring we were well-prepared for success. In addition to tutoring, Lucila hosted weekly Spanish tables where she introduced us to delicious Argentinian food she made herself. Her enthusiasm for teaching, combined with her dedication and care for students, made her an exceptional tutor. It was truly a pleasure learning from her and benefiting from her expertise.

Lucila was my tutor for one semester and in essence, she was a huge help in advancing my knowledge and understanding of the Spanish language. She was always patient with me when I would draw a blank on a word or conjugation (which was often!) and would help me work my way through, ensuring that I comprehended what I was saying. The methods used to learn and practice the language were always engaging and never boring; we played a variety of games that focused on vocabulary and gramatical concepts, watched clips of Argentinian novelas to practice our comprehension skills, and talked amongst ourselves to practice conversing in Spanish with low stakes. If you are looking to improve your Spanish or begin learning the beautiful language, I highly recommend working with Lucila to reach your goals!
