¡Hola! Soy profesor de español e inglés con +10 años de experiencia y 19,000 clases en iTalki. Me apasiona crear un aprendizaje divertido y a tu medida, ya sea para gramática, conversación o viajes. Mis alumnos logran avances rápidos (¡de A1 a B2 en poco tiempo!) porque adapto cada lección a tus debilidades y ritmo. Cuando no enseño, disfruto de la tecnología, el deporte y el cine—¡hablemos de tus intereses también! ¿Listo para un viaje lingüístico hecho para ti? ¡Reserva tu primera clase!
Me as a Teacher
In our first lesson, I'll chat with you to understand your language level and find out where you need help. We'll also figure out what your future lessons should focus on. Some of my students quickly progressed from A1 to B2, showing that with the right effort, big improvements are possible. I'm open to giving homework when needed.
I teach teenagers, young adults, and adults eager to learn. Unfortunately, I don't teach young children. Looking forward to helping you on your language journey!
My lessons & teaching style
I create classes based on what you need. Whether you're starting from scratch, working on grammar, or just practicing speaking, we can customize the lessons. I'm very flexible and, most importantly, I enjoy teaching.
