¡Hola chicos! Hey Guys! Salut les amis ! Ciao ragazzi!
I'm Felipe, a 23-year-old rêveur & native Spanish speaker. Though proud to be Colombian, I am studying a Bacherlor in French Linguistics in France; an unforgettable experience allowing me to improve my French and discover new cultures. I have visited Italy, Spain, Greece, Egypt, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands & many more. & just in case, I speak English, French & Italian.
I like hanging out with my friends, I adore my family, and I love partying & dancing. I truly enjoy music— especially EDM. Film & TV are what I feel most passionate about and I even have a movie-reviewing blog and I’m part of several movie-critic websites.
Me as a Teacher
I have been teaching English and Spanish as a freelancer both in French, Spanish and English on platforms as Upwork for four years now and I love it. Thanks to my neutral accent, my Spanish-teaching literacy and my unique, relaxed and friendly teaching approach, I am here to help you to improve your Spanish listening, writing, and speaking skills through personalized lessons. However, that is not my main goal here; my true purpose is to really get to know each other. That's what I have tried to do with my 166 students over my 1010 given sessions.
My lessons & teaching style
I’m a big believer in the efficacy of learning a foreign language at home. I did it that way. The only two paramount requirements are love for learning and having fun. So do not hesitate to reach out in order to schedule a session. Do not be afraid to talk to me; I know sometimes hold a conversation with a native speaker can be overwhelming, I got you, I live it day in day out, but it does not matter at all.
Let’s start this journey together now! I want to be neither your professor nor your tutor; I want to be your friend.
Remember! The more time we share time together, the more we learn from one another!
¡Adios! See you soon! Au revoir ! Ciao!

I have completed 30 lessons with Pipe and he continues to be as attentive, personable and professional as my first lesson. His “secret sauce” is that he is also a lot of fun. If you want to learn Spanish in stress-free environment sessions, then I highly recommend Pipe.

I can sing the praises of Pipe's teaching method and ability everyday. I've been studying with him for over a year and I have never had a bad or boring lesson with him. He is so engaging and fun making our lessons fly by and filled with laughter. In every lesson, we talk about current events in my life or in the world and the conversation takes off.
Today, we talked about certain ethnic foods that are actually American, such as chop suey, fortune cookies, and hoagies. He asked about Arroz Chino or what I call Arroz Frito or Fried Rice. I proceeded to tell him that it is very Chinese and something we do with leftovers. I even gave him my recipe for Arroz Chino. What I realized was that I did not know so many words in Spanish, but I do now. Instead of giving me the correct word or phrase, he lets me try to figure it out. This method works best for me.
Thank you Pipe for being my teacher!

Wow what a run !
+40 sessions of true friendship, amazing topics, classes, surprises, and a lot more. I can't get through this long break I am about to take away from Pipe's calls and material. µA true gifted guy with the right way to make you fall in love with the language, and the way he can be flexible to follow your recommended pace, and schedule. I can't wait to start the second run with him, a couple of months before I move to Spain / Colombia. Pipeeeeeeee ! You got it man I can't be worried for you and your bright future as a nice person, and a true language mentor, as we all need people like you in our lives to help us go through basics, and how languages can be overwhelming. Never stop what you do, unless you find something else with way more passion. It may be difficult as you transmit so much energy and joy in every single session. Te veo pronto amigo de colombia y cuidate. [french] Tu as géré mec félicitations pour le sprint! à bientôt à Gre ou ailleurs! Chao

I have never had a boring lesson with Pipe, whether it's a conversational class or one strictly based on grammar. I have been a Spanish student for over 10 years, and I have been studying with Pipe for over 2 years. He is one of my all time favorite teachers and I am still having fun as I am learning with him. I highly recommend Pipe whether you are a new student or someone who wants to take their Spanish to a new level.

Pipe has been a fantastic Spanish tutor! He will take the time to walk you through mistakes and help you understand how to say the sentence correctly 🙌which I think is awesome because the main reason we take Italki lessons is to improve our ability to speak in the target language🙏.
