Mariana S.
Mariana Semerjion is a certified DELE examiner for all levels and an experienced Spanish teacher at the renowned Instituto Cervantes. She holds a Master’s degree in Teaching Spanish as a Foreign Language from Universidad Nebrija, and she has helped countless students successfully prepare for the DELE exam.
