Marla Rivera Profile Photo

Language Coach

Hola, I’m Marla from Guaynabo, Puerto Rico. 🇵🇷 I currently live in Indiana with my husband and two dogs.

I prefer to teach with visual aids and everyday examples, stories, and vocabulary. I'll help you practice conversational Spanish and answer any questions. I’m a Spanish translator and interpreter with a master’s degree in those fields from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

I also speak English and French. I’ve always had a passion for learning other languages and enjoy them as much as I do teaching them.

I enjoy reading, writing, and playing video games in my free time.
