Viviana Carolina Fuentes Hilares

I am a Psychology student and I completed the advanced level of English at ICPNA, which allows me to communicate clearly with foreign students and understand the challenges that can arise when learning a new language. In my classes, I adapt to each student’s level, pace, and goals, whether they want to improve their conversation skills, strengthen their grammar, expand their vocabulary, or prepare for traveling, studying, or working in a Spanish-speaking environment. I like my lessons to be dynamic and practical, we work on conversation from the very beginning to build fluency and confidence, while also dedicating time to explaining grammar in a simple and clear way, using real-life examples and everyday situations to show how Spanish is actually used.

I also incorporate cultural aspects, common expressions, and the differences between formal and informal Spanish so that learning feels natural and meaningful, not just theoretical. Additionally, my background in Psychology helps me create a supportive and trusting environment, understand different learning styles, and adapt my methodology according to each student’s needs, encouraging active participation and steady progress. I monitor each student’s development, set clear goals, and provide personalized materials to reinforce what we cover in class. My main focus is not only for students to memorize rules, but to truly understand how and when to use them, gaining confidence, autonomy, and the ability to communicate naturally in a variety of contexts, making Spanish a practical and valuable tool in both their personal and professional lives.
