About me: 
Hello everyone, I’m Xiomara Hernández and I’m from Honduras. 
I am 26 years old and I have been teaching languages since I was 18. I love teaching languages because it is a way to exchange culture and meet new people. 
Five things about my personality: 
I am kind.
I am punctual.
I am patient.
I am fun.
I am energetic.
Hobbies: 
In my free time, I love dancing because it is a way to release stress. I literally dance everything: bachata, merengue, salsa, a little bit of reggaeton, and “punta,” which is a dance originated from the Garifuna people (an ethnic group from Honduras) 
. I also enjoy spending time with my friends and family 
, traveling 
, taking pictures 
, playing volleyball 
, listening to different types of music 
, reading romantic books 
, baking 
, and volunteering 
.
Languages: 
I am a native Spanish speaker. I love Spanish because it is the official language in many countries in Latin America, and a word can be expressed in different ways.
Just take a look at this example:
The different ways to say “friend” (amigo) or to get someone’s attention in different countries:
Honduras: ¡maje!, compa, or alero.
Mexico: cuate.
Chile: weón.
Argentina: pibe.
Colombia: parce.
I also speak Italian because I studied it at university, and my Master’s degree is in Italian.
Last but not least, I can speak a little bit of English. So, if you, as my student, don’t understand something in Spanish, I can provide you with examples in English as much as you need.
Teaching: 
My approach to teaching can be summarized as the way I would have preferred to be taught. I believe that making mistakes is a good way to learn, so feel free to make them with me.
Nice to meet you!
