Milena Saavedra

Hello, my name is Milena. I am from Bogotá, Colombia, and I currently live in São Paulo, Brazil. I am a native Spanish speaker and I speak both English and Portuguese fluently. I am also learning French. I love languages and being able to communicate with people from different cultures, nationalities, and circumstances. I love reading, riding my bicycle, and drinking good coffee (especially learning and teaching about delicious Colombian coffee). Traveling is my passion! Hello, my name is Milena. I am from Bogotá, Colombia, but I currently live in the State of São Paulo, Brazil. I am a native Spanish speaker and I also speak English and Portuguese fluently; I am currently learning French... As you can see, I love languages and being able to communicate with people from different cultures and nationalities. I really like reading, riding my bicycle, and drinking good coffee. I have been working as an ESL teacher since 2013. I've had the opportunity to teach students from many countries, across all continents, and of different ages, from 2-year-old children to 65-year-old adults. Everyone has the capacity to learn a new language! I've been teaching in person since 2013, but since 2019, I have been teaching online. This allows me to use very interactive tools. I believe the best thing I can share as a tutor is my own experience learning languages, guiding learners to discover their own methods of learning (each individual is unique), and doing my best to keep their motivation alive! Conversation will be the focus to determine your learning process, but brief explanations about grammar (or any other questions) will have a place in class according to your needs and goals!
