About Me
italki teacher since May 14, 2014
Besides loving languages, I also very much enjoy learning about and discussing tech, pop culture and history. I love games of all types as well, especially those with inbuilt narratives. Although I do not do it as often as I used to, I used to travel a fair bit, both for my personal enjoyment and as part of my language learning routine, and I have been to the US, Japan, England, France, Italy, Uruguay, and multiple states within my home country of Mexico.
I became a Japanese teacher around 2010 after spending several years working hard towards earning my JLPT level 3; some years later, as an experiment, I decided to try applying what I had learnt about teaching and motivation in Spanish and acquired a diploma by the Cervantes Institute for teaching Spanish as a foreign language.
I am best geared to teach intermediate and advanced students, but I'm more than happy to help you create a solid foundation if you're willing to work hard from the very beginning.
I am very passionate about creating spaces for conversation between my students and I. I will always focus first on helping you start creating thoughts and ideas of your own and communicating ASAP. I generally take about 2-3 classes to figure out a student's strong and weak suit, and I always try to modify my classes to work better with each individual student.
I have a 10 minute tardiness tolerance policy. I will also gladly return your fee if notified of a problem.

Siskia does a great job of keeping the conversation in constant motion. She challenged me this evening to explain my children's future in Spanish, it was interesting and fun.

Muy buena conversación. Siskia tiene una manera muy expresiva de hablar y siempre aprendo mucho vocabulario nuevo. ¡Gracias y hasta pronto!
