Catalina_Perez_Spanish_with_Catalina.jpg

My name is Catalina Pérez,
I am from Medellín, Colombia.

Currently I live in San Francisco, California. I studied International Business and moved to the U.S.A. in 2005 where I completed an M.B.A. and have worked in International Sales and Marketing for multinational companies doing business in Spain and Latin American countries. 

​

My teaching journey started with close friends who wanted to learn Spanish for traveling and for their real estate business.  In 2020 I joined a Spanish Institute from San Francisco, teaching Spanish Online. Now I can say that I have found a new passion in teaching Spanish!  In March 2022, I completed a University Course Specialization for teaching Spanish as a foreign language, from Universidad Europea Miguel de Cervantes in Valladolid, Spain.

I also enjoy exploring, cooking and sharing creative Latin American Cuisine.

 

I deeply believe in integrating the practice of good communication and empathy with different cultures, which is essential to live in harmony with people of all backgrounds.
