Me as a Teacher
When I teach, my main objective for the student is that they understand, analyze, and internalize the information that they have just received. To achieve this, I make sure to build a relationship of trust and respect, so that, the student feels comfortable asking questions freely, dispelling any doubts and correcting errors.
My lessons & teaching style
During your learning I will use a method of continuous dialogue, answering your concerns and doubts, which is typical of everyone who learns a new language. From there we will cover topics related to the culture, dialects and jargon typical of Spanish-speaking peoples.
We will use mock dialogues typical of any probable eventuality to which the new Spanish-speaker may be exposed.

We have been having lessons with Héctor for a few months now, and he is great! He is always punctual for our lessons. He's very inquisitive and great at making conversation. We have been learning Spanish for a few years now, so he keeps to Spanish at all times for us, and we have been getting more comfortable with the Dominican accent. Lately we've been analyzing videos from the Dominican Republic (songs, speeches, etc.), and Héctor can always give us the local context behind the words/sayings.

Always wonderful! He's been giving me tailored vocab since I am hoping to become a nurse and want to be able to speak fluently with patients. I learn a lot and the lessons are always so fun!

Today we talked about the complicated history and relationship between Haiti and the Dominican Republic. It was interesting to see the differences between how race and nationality play a role in the United States versus Dominican Republic.

Hector is undercharging for the quality of instruction his students get with him. He's worth a lot more! He's a reflective listener who shows genuine interest in what I'm communicating at any given time. Conversation with him is organic and honest, even across language barriers. I'm in awe of his breadth of knowledge! I've brought up some pretty specific topics during our session (about Product Management, mental health, and computer science/engineering), and he's had something insightful to say about all of them. I have left our classes feeling not only impressed but inspired— not just about learning Spanish, but about life in general. Hector has that effect!
Sign up for class with Hector. You won't regret it.
