¡Hola!
¡Hola!
My name is Carmen Diaz. I’m so glad you’re here!
About Carmen
I am the owner and founder of Press 2. My story began in Guatemala, where I was born to a Guatemalan mother and a Spanish father. I moved to the US at a young age, becoming truly bilingual in English and Spanish and understanding both cultures. I've always had a passion for languages and a curiosity about other cultures. My love for languages, teaching, and human connection led me to start Press 2 to teach Spanish in a fun and effective way.
I remember the process of learning a second language, and I relate to how intimidated and self-conscious students feel when they are at the beginning stages of speaking a foreign language. Press 2 provides a safe environment to practice until you become comfortable speaking in other settings. When we are in class, you are my priority.
I find value in my work when I feel I contribute to improving my students' lives. I know I've done my job when you communicate with family and friends, talk to clients, or enjoy a vacation to a Spanish-speaking country. That's my goal; that's what makes me happy. Whatever your goals are in learning Spanish, I am here to guide you along the journey.
My goal is to provide you with the necessary tools to get to a conversational level as fast as possible. I also want you to have fun while learning and learning interesting things about Spanish and the culture.
Press 2 is based in Washington, DC, but we serve students virtually all across the United States and beyond.
