About your teacher
Hi, I'm Camila — Spanish teacher
Medellín, ColombiaMálaga, SpainParis, France
🎓 Hispanic Philology🕊️ MA in Peace Culture & Human Rights✏️ +1,000 lessons
I'm Colombian, though I currently live in Paris. I'm a workshop facilitator and researcher, with experience in research and hands-on work with communities and audiences across many sectors, countries and ages. My field is Hispanic Philology — which is where my love of teaching Spanish comes from.
With me you'll learn natural, everyday Spanish in a simple and lively way, built on a conversational approach. My real calling is working with people, so you'll always get teaching full of heart and dedication.
We'll use music, short films, movies and interesting current topics to make learning more fun, more thoughtful and more human. You'll have your own notebook to track your progress and revisit lesson content whenever you like. You'll also get a Drive space with resources and the vocabulary lists we build together, little by little. :)
"It will be practical Spanish, taught with a great deal of patience and love."

Frequently asked questions
Any questions?
How does the subscription work?
+
When you subscribe, Stripe charges you automatically every 4 weeks. You'll get your personal Cal.com link to book lessons whenever you like within that period. No contracts — you decide when to cancel.
When can I cancel my subscription?
+
You can cancel freely from the first 4 weeks after your subscription starts. Cancellation is done directly from the Stripe portal (you'll get the link by email). Your access continues until the end of the period you've already paid for.
What happens if I don't use all my lessons within the 4 weeks?
+
You can carry over 1 unused lesson to the next 4-week period. Any other unused lessons are lost. I'd recommend planning your lessons from the start of each period to make the most of them.
Can I cancel or reschedule a lesson?
+
Yes, with at least 24 hours' notice, from your Cal.com link. Cancellations with less than 24 hours' notice are not made up.
What time zone do you use?
+
I currently live in Paris (CET/CEST). I already teach students on several continents, so my hours are flexible and I adapt to your time zone.
What's in the progress notebook?
+
With every lesson you get a digital notebook where you can follow your progress and revisit session content any time. It's your own personal learning tool.
Can I access individual lessons without a subscription?
+
Yes. In the Content section you'll find self-study lesson packs (Grammar or Vocabulary) at €50 each, with no subscription needed. Some lessons are free. You can also take one-off lessons if, for example, you need help preparing for an interview, a presentation or a specific situation.
How do I access the exclusive content?
+
When you subscribe to any plan, you'll receive access to the library's exclusive content by email. It's renewed every 2 months.
What is the Conversation Club and how do I join?
+
The Conversation Club is a series of weekly 60-minute sessions on Google Meet, in groups of no more than 8. Each week, every group works on a set topic: you prepare a little beforehand, then we practise together through active listening and joining the discussion. It's designed for people who already have some Spanish. Right now the Tuesday 7 pm (Paris time) group still has places; if that time doesn't suit you, write to me: new groups open as demand grows. You join with a subscription of €40 every 4 weeks (€10 per session; €8 for my students). Missed sessions can't be made up.

What is a "Rinconcito"?
"Rinconcito" — more than a name
"Rinconcito" is the diminutive of "rincón", meaning corner — a word we use fondly for those places that matter. It can be a small space in a house or a city, but also an intimate, safe place inside us where we keep memories, feelings and important moments. Hence the expression: "I keep you in a little corner of my heart".
El Rinconcito del Español is exactly that: a close, human, safe place to inhabit Spanish and allow yourself to be someone in this language.

Spanish conversation club El Rinconcito
A weekly space to talk in Spanish about a set topic: a little preparation before the session, then 60 minutes of listening and real practice in a small group. For people who already have some Spanish, come and build fluency, and meet other people around the world learning Spanish.

🕖 7 pm (Paris time) · Google Meet
👥 Groups of 8 people max, so everyone gets time to speak. This time doesn't suit you? Write to me: new groups open as demand grows.
How it works
One topic, 60 minutes of practice
All you need is some Spanish and the wish to speak. Each week your group works on a set topic: you prepare a little beforehand, then we explore it together during the session.
📋
1. Subscribe
You subscribe in 4-week periods (4 sessions) and join a group that still has places. Each group is capped at 8 people, and places go in order of subscription.
📝
2. Prepare the topic
Before each session you receive the topic and a little preparation (key vocabulary, a short text, an audio clip or a few questions) so you arrive with ideas.
💬
3. Log in and talk
On your group's day we meet on Google Meet: 60 minutes of active listening, joining the discussion and vocabulary in real context.
Who is it for?
For learners who already have the basics
The club is designed for people who already have some Spanish and want to build fluency. Everyone experiences the session in their own way, but everyone listens and everyone takes part.
🔰 Starting from scratch?
Basics first
If you don't have the basics yet, I'd recommend starting with private lessons with me: you'll pick up the essentials quickly, then you can join the club to practise and speed up your learning.
You listen to native speakers and other learners, reuse the vocabulary you prepared and jump into the discussion. The best training for losing your fear of speaking.
📗 Advanced
Debate and nuance
Argue, add nuance and dig into the week's topic: current affairs, culture and society across the Spanish-speaking world. Ideal for keeping your Spanish sharp.
Group with places available
Book your spot
The Tuesday 7 pm (Paris time) group still has places. Here are the topics it will explore in its upcoming sessions: current affairs, culture, everyday life and society across the Spanish-speaking world, all carefully chosen.
