Hello! I'm Santiago, a native Spanish speaker with over 2 years of experience teaching online. I hold a certified diploma in teaching Spanish as a foreign language. I enjoy connecting with people from diverse cultures and teaching Spanish. I'm also passionate about reading, cinema, sports, history, and music. I learned English through school, movies, music, and life experiences, and I am currently in the process of learning Portuguese.
Ich als Lehrkraft
As a teacher, my students' needs are my top priority. I offer fully personalized classes tailored to each individual, whether it's for travel, work, cultural exploration, personal connections, and more. I always keep in mind that my audience includes non-native Spanish speakers, allowing me to adapt my speech pace and patiently assist those who aren't fluent in Spanish. I also find great joy in cultural exchange with my students, as it enhances the journey of learning a second language and broadens our understanding of the world. Establishing authentic connections with my students is of utmost importance to me.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
My teaching approach is based on 'comprehensible input' for effective language acquisition. We prioritize comprehension, laying a strong foundation for communication. This method exposes you to language slightly beyond your current level, encouraging growth. We focus less on complex grammar rules, making learning natural and enjoyable. Emphasizing authentic communication, you'll develop practical language skills swiftly.
Santiago is an amazing teacher. Each session is thoughtfully planned with many opportunities for me to gain comprehensible input (which is my main goal right now). Santiago checks for understanding and uses visuals, videos, and other media to ensure I am engaged. I also appreciate how creative Santiago is when helping me understand a phrase or concept without using English. Santiago fosters a calm and open learning environment where I feel safe and not embarrassed if I make a mistake. Thank you for being my teacher not just in Spanish but also about culture and the world. I always leave each session with something to think about or research more. :)

Santiago is an absolute pleasure. He is patient and kind. I always enjoy our lesson. He tailors the content to meet my needs for travel in Costa Rica. His lessons are interactive and personalized, but most of all so much fun! I highly recommend Santiago!

I’ve been studying Spanish with Santiago for a couple months. I am very satisfied with his teaching and will continue with him. His lessons are always well prepared and combine grammar, vocabulary and conversation. He is experienced and skillful teaching Spanish as a foreign language. In addition he is enthusiastic and fun to learn with. I recommend him highly!
I completed a 1 hour session with Santiago and it was perfect for my beginner level. Lots of encouragement and opportunities for comprehensible input. Helpful visuals and he checked for my understanding throughout. I really like Santiago’s teaching style. Looking forward to future lessons. :)
