Hello!
I'm Matteo, a native Spanish speaker from Bogotá, Colombia, with over 10 years of experience teaching Spanish to people from all over the world. I studied Political Science and International Relations both here in my home country and in the Czech Republic.
I’ve been close to the world of language teaching since childhood, as my mother is a teacher herself. Long before receiving formal training as a teacher, I was already absorbing the craft subconsciously!
For me, teaching means empowering—empowering a person to reach their goals, targets, and dreams. Language is the bridge we use to materialize emotions and thoughts, allowing us to connect with the rest of the world.
Ich als Lehrkraft
My methodology is unique to each individual. I invite you to be a co-architect in designing your study plan. Based on your needs, interests, and preferences, we will create a methodology that suits you—one where you not only learn but have fun while doing so.
I focus on creating deeply engaging lessons centered on conversation practice, using both academic and real-life scenarios. This allows me to evaluate your current level and create reading, writing, and listening exercises that will strengthen your language core.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
Learning is composed of both resilience and flexibility. In my opinion, the first allows us to set a path and remain steady with discipline, absorbing and learning further no matter the external circumstances. Flexibility means keeping an open mind to new methods of learning and being able to approach new challenges with innovative responses.
I combine both to create a deeply engaging classroom environment where we work together toward your fluency.
Matteo is very professional, engaging and interesting. He came prepared with the first lesson with a video for me to watch based on my bio that he had read so that we can discuss it. He gives me appropriate homework and helps correct my pronunciation and my grammar in a positive upbeat way. Matteo is interested in the world, has traveled a lot, is intellectual and it seems we can talk about anything. He is very positive and his accent is neutral and useful for me since I travel both to Spain and to Mexico (and hopefully soon to South America as well). I recommend him highly. He's on time, was flexible and understanding when I had computer issues on our first lesson, is patient, and just a pleasure to have as a teacher.
