I have over ten years of teaching and tutoring experience. I earned my bachelor's degree in education at the University at Pontificia Bolivariana in Medellin and then taught and tutored at Universidad Catolica de Oriente. In addition to my experience teach...

My daughter is very anxious about Spanish this quarter. After meeting with Ximena one time, she came home feeling much more hopeful and well resourced going into the class. My daughter said "I know that she can help me."

Ximena is from Colombia, where Spanish is spoken with one of the most loved accents in Latin America. She has training in linguistics having studied English in Colombia. Her residency in the US is interspersed with trips to Colombia and close contact with Latin American culture makes her an ideal tutor in Seattle
- Donald P. from Seattle, WA
Great tutor and fun person to chat with. She's patient and easy to understand and converse with. She is always prepared with appropriate lesson plans, but also enjoy just chatting in Spanish!
- Serena L. from Boardman, OR
Thank you so much Ximena for helping our high school sophomore really understand Spanish. He's been behind because of a concussion and she's keeping him on track
- Leo S. from Seattle, WA
My daughter has had two sessions with Ximena so far and we're looking forward to many more. She has been taking Spanish for a while but has missed some really critical parts of how the language is structured. Ximena is reviewing what she needs to know and my daughter is ecstatic that she's receiving the very specific help she needs. We're looking forward to more tutoring and are excited that she can finally make progress in filling in the holes.

We are starting with phrases that will be pertinent to my next trip to mexico. Ximena is using structure of the basics to get me started with a foundation to build on.

I can't recommend her highly enough. She is a great tutor! She is very patient and knows her subject well. I would recommend her to anyone who needs help with Spanish.
- Chris J. from Seattle, WA
Ximena does a wonderful job with our 7 year old twice a week. Our daughter has come so far in such a short time. We meet twice a week at a local library and our daughter looks forward to each class.
- Tamar D. from Bellevue, WA
Ximena was very patient as we reviewed information to see where we should go after our first session. She is very organized and the her examples were easy to remember.
- Alicia J. from Mercer Island, WA
I started Spanish lessons to be able to speak to my wife in Spanish. I struggled for many many years to learn Spanish before I started lessons with Ximena. In as little as 3 months, I can now have interesting conversations with my wife that she understands. Furthermore, Ximena is well-planned, provides well constructed layered lessons, is flexible with the subject matter to provide language that will be applied in everyday life and provides feedback in a meaningful and constructive fashion. I would highly recommend Ximena to anybody looking to learn Spanish!
- Aidan V. from Seattle, WA
Ximena is an excellent tutor. Today, my second lesson, she helped me increase my vocabulary and my confidence in speaking Spanish!
- Harriet H. from Seattle, WA
Ximena is extraordinarily friendly and works with you to figure out what your goals are. She also is quite perceptive and able to determine ways in which to better improve your Spanish. I hope to update this review as I progress with my learning!
- Monica Q. from Seattle, WA
Ximena is an outstanding tutor. She listens to the client and is able to design lessons at a challenging level that meet my needs. Xamina does a great job of holding me accountable for the tutoring session as well as providing additional resources to work on throughout the week. It's an excellent use of my time:

- Shannon L. from Seattle, WA
We sat down and she conducted a review of my current abilities. We then looked at the requirements for the exam I wish to take and she started working on a lesson plan to get me where I need to be. Very engaging and patient teacher.
- Cameron B. from Seattle, WA
Ximena really helped my high-school daughter make progress in her Spanish. In just one hour she accurately identified her strengths and proceeded to build on them so real progress was made. Gracious person, approachable and professional, we will definitely be calling her again!
- Sandy S. from Seattle, WA
After weeks of feeling completely overwhelmed and lost in my Spanish class at college, one lesson with Ximena and I'm pretty sure I will pass this class while learning an enjoyable language. I've no doubt that without her help I would be very close to failing. Thank you Ximena.
- Karen P. from Seattle, WA
I am a beginner in Spanish and Ximena is very patient with me. She is 100% the real deal and was exactly what I was looking for. I am excited to see how far i can go in my Spanish journey. I would recommend Ximena to any level student.
