I’m a local in the beautiful Santa Barbara, CA. I enjoy teaching Spanish and English on a one-on-one basis or in small groups. It could be online or in-person. After many years of working for both academia and the corporate world, I am now dedicated to helping individuals acquire and improve their language skills.

Together we can improve your Spanish/English fluency and put together immersion programs as found in my beautiful Colombia.
Because they believed and demonstrated their language learning skills in the real world.
Nury was one of the best teachers I have ever had. She helped me build the confidence to grow my skills in Spanish from simple transactional “getting by” Spanish, to being able to express myself to people from another culture. Using Nury’s guidance, my work in Spanish language countries has been transformed. Thank you Nury!
I had the privilege of learning Spanish with Nury for four years. Not only is Nury an excellent teacher, able to teach to any level of experience or proficiency with ease, but she is one of the most compassionate teachers I’ve ever worked with. She invests so much time and energy into her students’ growth because she genuinely cares and wants them to succeed. She always goes the extra mile, whether that’s finding ways to connect with her students on a personal level or by sharing with them the beauty of language and culture. I cannot recommend Nury as a teacher highly enough.

Anyone would be lucky to have Nury as their language instructor. She creates learning experiences for individuals, teams, and organizations that are highly engaging and effective. Nury is able to meet her students where they are at and transform them to the next level. She creates a safe and open environment where her students feel comfortable to take risks, make mistakes, and fully engross themselves in the language, enabling them to reach their goals.
Everyone who’s ever worked with Nury will say the same thing: she is an exceptional teacher and an inspirational leader. What makes Nury’s style so effective is her ability to tailor to each individual’s language level and learning needs. She taught me how to better my conversational Spanish for my personal and professional life and I can’t thank her enough. In addition to all her great qualities as a teacher, Nury is just one of the most amazing and energizing people you could spend time with. I would highly recommend her!
Nury is an exceptionally talented language teacher. She is effective, patient and always keeps the lessons fun and engaging. When I started working with her, I didn’t know any Spanish and wanted to learn some basics for when I traveled to Mexico for work. After working with her once a week for less than 2 years, I could have basic conversions, which greatly improved my comfort level when traveling and helped me connect better with my colleagues. I highly recommend Nury for anyone looking to learn a new language.
Nury is the best. She made Spanish lessons so much more than just learning the language. They were an opportunity to connect and share with colleagues and were often the best part of my day. Nury is an absolute rockstar and would be an asset to any organization looking to further develop their company culture.
I have had Spanish lessons with Nury for over two years, starting at beginner level and working my way to intermediate. Her highly individualised and tailored teaching style enabled me to travel to Spain and Mexico after one year and communicate with local engineers and technical staff to achieve complex tasks. Especially the focus on conversation and cultural understanding in her lessons is highly effective and empowers all her students to gain confidence in communicating in another language and travelling. I would highly recommend taking lessons with Nury if you seek a fun and effective learning experience.
I had the pleasure of knowing Nury since my beginnings at our company. I got the best introduction I’ve ever had. She knew how to teach me how to love work, just like Nury gives her best in everything she does. Throughout the time we worked together, Nury showed me how to improve every day: some days asking the right questions, other days giving the perfect answers. Impressive person and incredible professional!
Nury’s teaching extends beyond mere language instruction – she illuminates the culture and essence of Spanish. Over three tumultuous years at a hectic startup, I had the privilege of learning with her. Nury’s empathetic approach stands as a pillar of patience amidst the chaos, ensuring progress without guilt or pressure. A single session with her is more impactful than a week on any language app.
Nury es una excelente profesional. Su pasión por la enseñanza se refleja en cada experiencia que compartes con ella y su dedicación para asegurarse que cada participante alcance su máximo potencial es realmente inspirador.
Nury was my workplace Spanish instructor for over 4 years and curated her teaching style, content and services for my specific needs. I was most interested in communicating technical topics to a range of audiences and Nury created a space where I could practice presentations, explain experiments, and clarify nuance with new vocabulary and phrases. This mentorship enabled me to effectively communicate, build rapport and successfully complete projects with partners in Spain and South America.
Learning a new language can indeed be challenging, but it is so rewarding to see and experience the results of language acquisition in the real world.
Taking the first will help you build up your confidence and trigger your motivation.
Maybe… maybe not, but you will become fluent enough to survive in the language and culture you want to learn.
