About me
I'm a native Spanish speaker from Bogotá, Colombia. I'm passionate about languages myself — I speak Spanish, English and Italian — so I know exactly what it feels like to be on your side of the lesson.
I hold a diploma in teaching Spanish as a foreign language and I'm a certified Professional Teacher on italki, where I've been teaching since 2017: more than 8,000 lessons with 450+ students all over the world.
I genuinely love my job. I keep updating my methods, create my own materials, and seeing my students make progress is what makes me proud and happy 💛.
Outside class you'll find me listening to music, spoiling my pets, planning my next trip or reading a good book — and yes, they all make great lesson topics.

I like to spread my positivity and smile all the time with my students. I'm genuinely a happy and very approachable person.
Don't be afraid of making mistakes. I don't mind repeating or explaining something again — there are no silly questions!
You'll always feel comfortable in our lessons. I look after your weak spots with the resources and examples you need.
The method
We work on new structures, words, listening and pronunciation. No dusty textbooks: I create my own presentations, games, quizzes, PDFs, audio and video.
We put it into practice with role-play and entertaining conversations. My classes are interactive — no awkward silences!
You get a personalised Google Doc with notes from the lesson, plus homework to keep you moving between classes.
🇨🇴 En español, ¡desde el primer minuto! In class we speak Spanish as much as possible — I switch to English or Italian only when you really need it.
Role-play, interesting topics, games and entertaining conversations.
My classes are interactive — we both participate, always.
Each student is unique. I customise materials and topics around you.
I help you measure your Spanish level and track how far you've come.

I'm so happy that Julieth is my teacher. She is absolutely amazing! I've taken Spanish on and off for years. However, once I started taking classes with Julieth, my Spanish immediately improved. Julieth makes learning fun! All of the games, exercises, and conversations we have are interesting and engaging. Taking classes with Julieth will enable you to take your Spanish to the next level.
I have taken weekly Spanish classes with Julieth since October 2019. She is a great teacher, motivating, positive and well organised. She always has new ideas on how to teach me new things in Spanish — videos, texts, conversation — and classes never get boring.

I have been working with Julieth for a little over a year now and have taken over 100 lessons. Besides being an amazing teacher she keeps the lessons fun, dynamic, and interesting. It is clear she is passionate about what she does and wants the best for her students. Julieth makes me feel comfortable but at the same time gives me the push that I need. She does an excellent job of combining grammar, conversation, and structure into each class. With her help I am confident I will reach my goal of becoming fluent. I couldn't ask for a better teacher!
Julieth is a truly wonderful teacher and I am sure it has to do with her being a beautiful person. I completed 37 lessons with her and each one of them was enjoyable as much as it was productive. Julieth has a rare gift: she knows how to listen attentively and how to keep the conversation flowing, with humor, intelligence, enthusiasm, curiosity and sensitivity.

One of the most important things a language teacher can do is keep the student interested — especially at those frustrating times while learning a foreign language. Julieth does this with grace and in an elegant way. She will keep you engaged and make you feel comfortable, yet she has a way of challenging you to work things out at your level. She is dedicated and a joy to work with.

¡Claro que sí! My Spanish from scratch lessons (A1–A2) start from your very first words: pronunciation rules, useful vocabulary, how to introduce yourself and more.
