WELCOME TO OUR ONLINE SPANISH SCHOOL!
¡Hola! My name is Cristina and I am the founder and director of Spanish Desde Casa. I am a Spanish teacher specialized in children and teenagers.
​
I was born in Valencia, Spain. This city is located in the Mediterranean coast and it is the third biggest city in Spain.
I have a Degree in Early Childhood Education - Elementary Teacher from the University of Seville, Spain, and a Master's Degree in Educational Psychology from the University of Valencia, Spain.
I am also a certified ballet instructor and worked in a dance academy in Valencia for over 8 years. Dancing is one of my passions!
I decided to become a Spanish teacher when I met my husband on a trip to NYC in 2016. Traveling is another one of my passions! I've visited a lot of countries in Europe and also the USA and Canada.
I studied a Specialized Diploma in Methodology of Spanish as a Second Language from the Cervantes Institution.
​
After that, I taught in Spanish schools in Valencia and Toronto, Canada.
​
For the love of traveling and teaching I decided to become a full time, online Spanish teacher. After 3 years of experience, I started my own business: Spanish Desde Casa was created in January 2020.
​
Now I am a mom of a little girl and we currently live in Santa Barbara, California, where I am also teaching home-based lessons at my cozy apartment- I have a Montessori-inspired corner set up!

During her teaching journey, she had the opportunity to teach Spanish to foreign students for the first time at a high school in Spain. From that moment on, she decided to focus on teaching Spanish, as she thoroughly enjoyed that school year not only teaching her language but also sharing her culture. She is an animal lover and really enjoys cooking!
