Über mich
italki-Lehrkraft seit 19. Jan 2022
Hello! My name is Ignacio and I am keen to help you improve your Spanish.
After a career spanning over 25 years in a global setting as an officer of the United Nations managing international aid, I have retired early to enjoy other things I like, and as such, now I have plenty of time to tutor students further their conversational skills and broaden their vocabulary.
I studied in the US, France and Japan and worked overseas in Asia, Africa, Europe and the Americas. I realize that my background is very useful in connecting / communicating with my students. I am equally fluent in French, English and Portuguese, while I remain a learner in many other languages, wherever I have lived!
Ich als Lehrkraft
I have been tutoring conversational Spanish for the past 10 years, first as a hobby with friends, presently as a part-time activity to help students deepen their knowledge of the language beyond grammar and textbooks. Presently, I tutor in conversational Spanish online. I like to make my classes fun to ensure you are enjoying yourself as I find that students retain more information and learn more this way.
My students include those who want to improve their spoken Spanish, pilgrims on the Camino de Santiago, retirees & expats about to move to Spain...
* I teach levels A2 (advanced beginners or pre-intermediate) & above.
I welcome your feedback in the Reviews section to continue improving.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
My conversational classes are intended to help students improve their oral skills, both practical conversation as well as pronunciation.
My methodology is simple and effective:
1- Understand the student's needs and define learning goals.
2- Propose a teaching approach based on students' preferences and combining various resources (for ex. Q&A, audio, video, role play, text, etc).
3- Maintain a structure with purpose, we don't talk randomly.

Very friendly and relaxed guy. I like that he doesn't let a bad expression or two get in the way of a conversation, I am looking forward to more lessons with him.
