Kelly Delgado
Language Coach
Hola, I’m Kelly and I’m Cuban. 🇨🇺 I’ve been working with non-native Spanish speakers for about a year now.
My passions are languages, cooking, and writing. Besides Spanish, I also speak English and beginner French. Currently, I am in college studying a BBA degree taught in English, so I understand how difficult it is to learn a new language and the challenges of communicating with native speakers.
That’s why I have a lot of patience to teach and a few tricks I’d like to share that will make learning easier. My teaching style involves lots of conversation and learning through examples.
The most important thing in class is having a positive attitude, the rest will come along the way.
If you want to learn how we speak Spanish in Cuba or simply improve your Spanish skills I am here to help you achieve your goal!
