Learn Colombian Spanish with a real paisa.

Personalized 1-on-1 lessons designed for your goals. From complete beginner to confident speaker, I'll guide you step by step. I speak fluent English, so I can explain everything clearly.

How I teach

Conversation first — always. Grammar slots into place around it, the way it does in real life.

— Vero, your teacher
My method

Built around you — not a generic curriculum.

Total beginner? We'll build a real foundation, with explanations that finally make sense. Already conversational? I'll push your accuracy and stretch your range — in Spanish, the whole time. Because I'm fluent in English (C1), I can meet you exactly where you are.

Every lesson is prepared specifically for you, every week. Whether you fall in love with paisa music, a specific telenovela, or learning to cook arepas — we bring it into the work.

What you'll learn

Four ways students actually use Spanish.

Every plan is personal — the four below are the most common shapes a student's lessons take. We'll build yours together in the first session.

  1. 01

    Conversation, for real life

    For students living in Medellín, partnered with a paisa, or just tired of feeling like a tourist. We focus on cafés, friendships, taxis, paperwork, and the small daily rituals that make a place feel like home.

  2. 02

    Travel preparation

    For students preparing to spend real time in Colombia or Latin America. Practical phrases, regional differences, navigating outside tourist Spanish. By the time you land, you won't need a translation app.

  3. 03

    DELE & grammar

    For students working toward the DELE certification or who want a methodical, classical foundation. Targeted grammar, written exercises, and exam-specific preparation — at A1, A2, B1, or B2.

  4. 04

    Adult beginners

    For students who haven't been in a classroom in twenty years and feel rusty about it. No pressure, no embarrassment. We move at your pace, and we celebrate when you order coffee in Spanish for the first time.

What people say after we work together.

Britt Preply · January 2026

¡Me encanta hablar y aprender con ella! She is super nice, friendly, makes you feel comfortable. She answers all of my questions about Colombia and Medellín (I have a lot) and explains things slowly, never talks too fast! She helps me learn things that I have found difficult to understand in the past.

Veronica is a friendly and professional teacher who makes learning easy to follow by explaining everything step by step. She takes notes during each lesson and shares them afterward, which really helps me review my mistakes and pick up new vocabulary. I definitely recommend taking classes with her.

Veronica is such a great teacher! Lessons are tailored to my aims and the class notes are great! My speaking and pronunciation has improved so much — thanks so much!
