I am a very dynamic, flexible, and experienced teacher. Also, because I have learned to speak other languages like English or Chinese, I know exactly what you feel and what you need to reach your goals. Been there, done that!

I had a few classes with Manuel, and I think I will continue doing so. I found his classes are very structured, balanced with listening, grammar and reading activities. I leaned some Spanish before, therefore Manuel did some test on me at the very beginning and found out my weak areas straightaway.
