Hello, I'm Ruth, and I am from Peru. I live in Cusco, the city of the Incas, where Machu Picchu is located. I'd love to be your future Spanish tutor! Likewise, I've been teaching for a while, working with a diverse range of students. This experience has helped me understand how individuals learn at different stages of life. Also, my knowledge of English allows me to connect with students and help them grasp the nuances of the Spanish language. I really enjoy teaching and supporting students to master my native language, of which I am very passionate.
My teaching style is all about making learning fun and interactive. I'll simplify things for you, especially boosting your confidence in speaking. It's important to note that our classes are mostly conversational because speaking is where you'll truly master Spanish. However, I'll adjust the classes to your needs. We'll discuss topics you enjoy and apply them to practical scenarios, empowering you to communicate effectively in everyday situations.
During our classes, I'll be typing out your mistakes. It's easy for me to spot errors since Spanish is my mother tongue, and at the end of each class, we'll go over them together. I'll provide you with regular feedback. This way, you'll be able to track and measure your progress and see how you're enhancing your language skills.
Beyond teaching, I have several hobbies and passions. I have a deep love for engaging in meaningful conversations and building connections with people. Additionally, I find immense joy in immersing myself in nature through activities like trekking and wholeheartedly embracing new challenges.
If you would like to experience one of my classes, I invite you to book a free class with me, and we can work together to achieve your fluency and linguistic goals.
I'm excited to see you in class soon!

I wanted to wait before writing a review to see if there was consistency in Ruth's approach. I am glad to say that she has always been very well prepared with a variety of topics that encourage conversations. I like that she writes out some of my responses and shows them to me so that I can see my own errors. She is also open to questions that are not necessarily related to the topic at hand but related to my overall understanding/learning of the language. (For example - I asked for some homework and she was very quick to come up with ideas.) She has been very patient and encouraging.

Ruth's lessons are always a lot of fun for me and I am learning a ton each time! I've done ~15 lessons now with Ruth and I've progressed my learning tremendously and has helped with weaknesses I did not know existed. It's great as well that she knows English so that she can help when I get really stuck!

Just finished another class with Ruth. She is such a great tutora, you feel comfortable right away with Ruth. She is really enthusiastic and is ready to start teaching from the moment the class starts. She is always encouraging conversation and looking for ways to help improve my speaking. I definitely recommend others to take classes with Ruth - you will thoroughly enjoy it.
