Gabriela Celis
Co-founder & Product
Native Spanish speaker from Nicaragua. Builds the voice-first product that makes practice feel like a real conversation, not a flashcard. Obsessed with the moment a learner stops translating and starts thinking in Spanish.
We watched friends move to Mexico, Colombia, Costa Rica and Argentina with 6 months of Duolingo streaks — then freeze the first time a landlord asked for the deposit in Spanish. Apps teach vocabulary. Real life demands fluency in specific situations. So we built both: country-specific written guides here, and a voice tutor that lets you rehearse them out loud at TutorIA.
Most Spanish learning resources are built for European Spanish. Ours are built for the dialects you actually hear in Mexico City, Medellín, Buenos Aires, Santiago, Lima, San José, Managua and Santo Domingo. Different slang, different rhythm, different politeness norms — taught by people who live them.
Our entire philosophy is the 80/20 rule of conversation: learn the high-frequency words for the specific situations you'll live, and practice them aloud — daily, with feedback. Reading helps. Speaking is what makes you fluent.
