Meet Orfi – Certified Spanish Language Teacher
A Certified Native Spanish Teacher with 20+ Years of Experience
If you’re looking for an experienced, highly qualified, and results-driven Spanish teacher, you’ve come to the right place! With over 20 years of professional teaching experience in the United States and Japan, I specialize in helping students of all backgrounds achieve fluency and confidence in Spanish.
As a native Spanish speaker from Colombia, I bring the authenticity of the language to every lesson. However, I also have extensive training in Castilian Spanish from Spain, allowing me to adapt lessons based on the Spanish variant you prefer—whether Latin American Spanish or European Spanish. This flexibility ensures that you learn the vocabulary, pronunciation, and expressions that best suit your needs.
I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Hispanic Linguistics from the University of Hawaii and multiple certifications in Spanish teaching from prestigious institutions, including the Cervantes Spanish Institute and DIC International. My teaching experience spans from elite corporate training for executives to engaging, interactive lessons for young learners, always with a commitment to delivering high-quality, results-oriented language education.
