Paciente, claro y adaptable. Creo que todos aprendemos a ritmos y de maneras distintas. Explico la gramática en lenguaje sencillo y la conecto con situaciones reales. Diseño clases según tus metas. Como aprendiz de idiomas, conozco los obstáculos y puedo ayudarte. Prioridad: comunicación real por encima de memorizar reglas.
Patient, clear, and adaptable. I believe we all learn at different paces and in different ways. I explain grammar in plain language and connect it to real situations. I design lessons around your goals and learning style. As a language learner myself, I know the roadblocks and how to overcome them. Priority: real communication over memorizing rules.My lessons & teaching style
Adapto las clases a tu nivel, metas e intereses. Dos formatos: conversación con temas que te interesan, lecturas, vocabulario útil y correcciones claras; o clase formal con gramática, ejercicios, práctica oral y escrita y simulaciones. Todo a tu ritmo. Al final de cada sesión, recibes notas y sugerencias concretas para avanzar.
I tailor lessons to your level, goals, and interests. Two formats: conversation on topics you care about, with readings, useful vocabulary, and clear corrections; or a formal class with grammar, exercises, speaking and writing practice, and role plays. All at your pace. At the end of each session, you get notes and concrete next steps.My teaching material

I'm impressed by how Azael can go with the flow as I forgot to send him what I wanted to work on beforehand! I read in prior reviews that he is good at explaining and clarifying concepts that you may struggle with. I brought up two grammar topics that I get confused in when speaking and trying to understand Spanish. I really feel that he was able to go with the flow and I FINALLY understand them in a more solid way. Thank you!!

Amazing!! My favorite thing about learning Spanish with Azael is that I feel like I am his only student - even though he has a full schedule!! I started knowing nothing about Spanish. Now I have a basic vocabulary, can conjugate basic verbs, count numbers, and also got over my fear of speaking a language I am not fluent in. Thank you very much.

Azael is very easy to talk with and does a great job of providing real time correction while also taking notes for study afterwards. So far we have just spent time discussing random daily topics conversationally, which is exactly what I desire.

Azael is an outstanding teacher. I am amazed at how he manages to be so engaged and responsive in each and every class. He is also patient and supportive when I make mistakes as all language learners do. I have learned very much Spanish. He is the best!!
