Hello! My name is Alexander. I was born and currently live in Ecuador, but I have also lived for a long time in Venezuela and Spain, so I am familiar with a couple Spanish dialects 😜.
I do software engineering for a living and I am currently working remotely for a respectable software company ™️. I love programming and that's really one of the things that make my eyes light up.
Outside of work, I enjoy reading, writing and cooking; among other things. I am also an avid language learner. For me, language learning is a life-long journey that I walk every day with passion.

Ich als Lehrkraft
I was a teaching assistant at my university for 6 years, so I have experience working with students and getting across difficult concepts. I love languages and culture in general, so it fills me with joy to have the opportunity to help you learn a new language.
At work, I frequently hold sessions dedicated to sharing knowledge and teaching less experienced colleagues the tools that will allow them to perform their duties in the best possible way.
Lastly, and most importantly, everything I have ever taught I've taught with two things in my heart: passion and love. This is what drives me to keep on learning, and also what makes me want to share my knowledge with others.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
Before starting to learn human languages, I learnt programming languages. Today, I know more than 20. I have always been attracted to their shape, grammar and different levels of expressiveness. I find that the same is true for human languages.
My conversation classes will have a focus on making you feel comfortable and have fun with the language. We can have relaxed conversations on any topic of your interest, and if you are short on ideas I can also bring some of my own. If you are into that kind of thing, we can also do role-playing sessions, which I think are great for vocabulary acquisition for beginners.
