About Me
italki teacher since Jul 5, 2021
My name is Juan Pablo Vargas, I was born in Venezuela, but I live in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I am studying Economics at the University of Buenos Aires. I work as a translator and proofreader in both Spanish and English, I started in this area as a hobby in my teens, translating (and in some cases writing) Wikipedia articles, once my knowledge in both languages was sufficient, I was able to take this as a job. I have always enjoyed the process of sharing knowledge with others, that is why I started on Wikipedia and why later on I focused on teaching my mother tongue, to continue this process of spreading knowledge.
Me as a Teacher
I have taught several foreigners during the time that I have lived in Buenos Aires, I have also helped them to improve their pronunciation with conversation practices. My primary focus is on dialogue, since this way I can establish both the level of vocabulary and the interests of the student, and from there, I can assign particular resources to such student. If I find flaws at any point, we will reinforce knowledge through exercises and practice.
My lessons & teaching style
My approach to language learning is very interactive; learning with someone and having visual resources that are interesting to you is the ideal method, this helps your brain to keep information for the long-term more easily. That is why my main teaching tools are the dialogue on topics of interest to the student and the accompaniment with visual elements when necessary. Throughout this teaching process, constant evaluation is essential, since this way I can see the progress and know where reinforcement is needed.

Juan is absolutely fantastic. Always patient, teaches in a very methodical way (and uses an excellent book for this), and gives great examples to help me understand different concepts. I look forward to continuing this language-learning journey with him!

Juan is easily one of the best tutors on here. His knowledge of both English and Spanish is impressive, and he breaks down grammar in a manner that is easy to understand. A great balance of fun conversation and detailed explanation of my errors.

Juan Pablo is an excellent partner for conversational practice. He is smart, interesting, and fun to talk to. He is also good at correcting and, more importantly, explaining errors, in an easy way that does not disrupt the conversation.
