About Me
italki teacher since Oct 15, 2021Interest topicFilms & TV SeriesReadingArt
A curious fact about myself is that I am of Mayan ethnicity. I currently live in Guatemala, but I went to college in the United States, and half of my heart is in Brno, Czechia. I am passionate about art, languages, cultures and books. I graduated with a degree in arts in Arkansas and an M.A. in International Relations in Guatemala. // Un dato curioso sobre mi es que pertenezco a la etnia Maya en Guatemala. Estudié en los Estados Unidos y Canadá, y la mitad de mi corazón pertenece a la ciudad de Brno en la República Checa. Amo el arte, los idiomas, las culturas y los libros. Me gradué como licenciado en arte en Arkansas y tengo una maestría en relaciones internacionales en Guatemala.Me as a Teacher
I have experience teaching Spanish and English to a wide audience. My main goal is that you start feeling confortable speaking your target language with natives, losing the fear of expressing yourself with the wide or limited vocabulary you already posses. I have been in your shoes, whether it is preparing for the TOEFL, drilling grammar or trying to understand your favorite tv show, I can give you a hand to achieve your goals. // Tengo experiencia enseñando español e inglés a través de conversaciones. Mi objetivo principal es que te empieces a sentir cómodo hablando el idioma con un nativo y a perder el miedo de expresarte cualquiera sea el nivel de vocabulario que poseas.My lessons & teaching style
I focus on teaching through conversations. For that, we walk though a topic in a socratic way, which means I ask you questions about the topic. In a way, you are being interviewed and that allows you to express yourself as widely and freely as possible, with me jumping in to aid you in developing your language skills. // Me concentro en enseñar a través de conversaciones. En clase, tomamos un tema y lo conduzco de manera socrático, lo que significa que yo hago preguntas sobre el tema. De esta manera, estás siendo entrevistado y esto te da una oportunidad de expresarte libremente. Intervengo para serte de ayuda en desarrollar tus pensamientos y habilidades linguisticas.My teaching material

Walter has given lessons to each of my two children and he is so great with them! They are in a Spanish immersion program and I am struggling to meet their practice needs at home. Walter was very patient with them, met them each at their level of speaking, challenged them to stay in Spanish the entire time but was very helpful because his English is excellent. He is great with kids and just an excellent teacher! We have tried a few teachers and Walter has been the favorite!
