With over 10 years of experience teaching Spanish and linguistics, I specialize in Spanish as a Second Language, with a focus on Spanish pronunciation. I have taught a wide variety of students, including children, teenagers, adults of diverse nationalities and backgrounds, heritage speakers, and undergraduate and graduate students, in online and in-person settings. Additionally, I have trained Spanish as second language teachers, sharing my research and supporting them in using teaching tools, techniques, and methods.

As the academic coordinator of UNAM Los Angeles, I organized academic programs and cultural activities, promoted academic exchange, and developed educational programs, courses, and workshops. I was recognized as an organized, energetic, and resourceful leader.

I highly recommend Professor Aída Espinosa for any job related to the teaching of Spanish as a second language, including teaching training courses. Enthusiastic and committed people like her are invaluable in supporting academic work. —Martha Jurado, Centro de Enseñanza para Extranjeros (CEPE), National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM).
What really sets Aida apart from other teachers is that she understands how to keep her students motivated throughout the language learning process which is one of the most important elements for a student's success. To do this she draws on the student's interests and her own knowledge of Latin American and Mexican culture. —Hartley Voss, Writer
The pedagogical impact that Aída had also derived from her student-centered approach to teaching. Care and compassion pervaded the atmosphere in class, which was important given that speaking Spanish can cause a high degree of anxiety among heritage Spanish speakers as they typically lack formal training in the Spanish language. Aída was encouraging and supportive of all the attendees [of our Spanish course] regardless of their baseline proficiency in Spanish. —Fernando Estrada, PhD, Associate Professor at School of Education Loyola Marymount University
