Meet the teacher:   Grillys Cleveland – Spanish Instructor

Hi! I am Grillys Cleveland, your Spanish Teacher. I’m originally from Venezuela, and throughout my career, I’ve been fortunate to achieve success both in my home country and here in the United States. I’ve held leadership positions across different industries, and one experience that stands out is when I worked as the manager of a claims department at an insurance company.  During that time, I noticed an increasing demand for Spanish-speaking support. The challenge was that the hiring process for bilingual employees was lengthy, there were not too many candidates available, and the technical training took a considerable amount of time. That’s when I came up with an idea: I decided to offer Spanish language classes to existing employees who were interested in learning. The response was amazing! Employees became highly engaged and motivated, learning quickly and applying their new skills in real-world situations.


The success of that initiative was incredibly rewarding, but what excited me the most was that it reignited my childhood dream of becoming a teacher. A few years later, I had the opportunity to teach Spanish at the college level. The success and progress of my students have been my greatest motivation, and now, I am excited to take this passion online to reach even more students.

Why do I believe that learning Spanish is important?
Learning a second language not only expands professional opportunities but also offers significant cognitive benefits. It enhances memory, sharpens problem-solving skills, and helps maintain mental agility.
Spanish, in particular, is an invaluable language to learn. It is the second most spoken language in the U.S. and the fourth most spoken worldwide, following English, Mandarin, and Hindi. Additionally, Spanish is the official language in 21 countries, making it a powerful tool for both professional growth and personal enrichment. Mastering Spanish allows for deeper cultural immersion and enriches travel experiences, fostering meaningful connections with Spanish-speaking communities around the world.

What can my students expect from this course?
My classes are engaging, dynamic, and interactive. From the very first lessons, students learn pronunciation rules, enabling them to pronounce any Spanish word accurately within just two sessions. This immediate success boosts their confidence in speaking.

Additionally, students build their vocabulary by forming complete sentences rather than memorizing isolated words. This structured approach accelerates learning, enhances retention, and empowers students to communicate effectively in real-life situations.

What do I consider as the key to successfully learning Spanish?
The most important lesson I instill in my students is to overcome the fear of making mistakes and to start speaking Spanish from day one. Confidence grows through consistent vocabulary acquisition and regular conversation practice. I emphasize that corrections should never be seen as setbacks but as valuable learning opportunities. My goal is to ensure students develop strong pronunciation and grammatical accuracy while feeling supported throughout their language journey. By embracing this mindset, they will progress more quickly and communicate with greater fluency.
 

I invite you to join me on this exciting journey—let’s make learning Spanish an engaging and rewarding experience!
