Erika is an excellent tutor, who has helped me with both my conversational skills, my vocabulary, and grammar. She has taken the time to get to know me and my goals with learning Spanish and provided me with exercises and homework to get me closer to my goals. Her lessons are enjoyable, and she gives me room to chat openly, while providing feedback after about how to improve my fluency and speak Spanish like a native speaker. Highly recommend her lessons! :)

Erika is a great teacher, she really took on board my focal points and included them in the lesson. She takes time to explain words and concepts while speaking very clearly. She provides me with more materials if I need them and gives me just the right amount of homework.

My specialties
Conversational Spanish
I run my own Spanish conversation group once a week where I have students with A1.2 and A2 levels. I bring my own games to introduce vocabulary and then practice with basic role plays, interviewing a classmate and reporting to the rest of the class.
Spanish for beginners
I started teaching Spanish to beginners in Germany around 15 years ago. Over the years, I’ve helped many students build a strong foundation in the language — from their very first words to holding full conversations with confidence.
Spanish for children
Raising my own child bilingual has been one of my most rewarding teaching experiences. Even though we live in Germany, my child speaks perfect Spanish, which has given me valuable insight into how children learn and maintain a second language naturally.
Business Spanish
When a German company opened a branch in Mexico, my home country, I was hired to help bridge the cultural and linguistic gap between both teams. I trained HR professionals responsible for hiring staff in Mexico and prepared employees who were relocating or traveling there.
Mexican Spanish
As a native speaker from Mexico, I have been teaching Mexican Spanish for many years to students of different backgrounds and levels. My lessons focus on authentic communication, everyday expressions, and the rich cultural aspects that make Mexican Spanish unique.I help learners understand not only the language but also the nuances, idioms, and rhythm of real Mexican conversation.
