I am Jeff, a dedicated Spanish teacher with a unique background from Colombia, the US, and Italy. I cut the academic fluff, focusing on practical, real-world Spanish for survival. Since 2017, I've specialized in helping professionals and students. My expertise includes DELE & SIELE exam preparation and niche Spanish for Business, Medicine, and Travel. My lessons are personalized, sympathetic, and patient. We build confidence and fluency fast. I teach the vocabulary examiners look for—and the bad words you need to survive. Spanish is cool; let's master it!

I've had several conversations with Jeff and all of them have been engaging and easy going. This is very important to me since I am trying to take my intermediate Spanish to a more communicative level - talking about everyday life in a more personal, detailed and nuanced way. Jeff is very patient with all my errors and is able to explain Spanish language usage clearly and with examples. We conduct 99% of our conversations in Spanish. Jeff is an enthusiastic teacher, prepares well for each lesson with conversational prompts and listens. I can recommend him wholeheartedly for an enjoyable conversation.

I really liked this class because of the teacher's friendly approach. He tries to understand the problems of individual students and gives them space to express themselves. He supports them in speaking their target language independently, meaningfully and decisively. At the same time, he corrects them if they make a mistake, but he is always kind. He tries to make the classes fun and interesting according to the needs of the individual.

Salamat kaayo, Jeff, sa tanang paningkamot ug kahago. Padayon ta'g panarbaho nga magkauban aron mahimong mas abanse pa gyud ang akong Spanish - nga walay sagol nga Portuguese! I have taken a few lessons with Jeff, and he is a wonderful teacher! From the first class he's listened to my needs and interests, and customized lesson plans that are tailored specifically to my goals. The class topics have been very interesting, which encourages me to converse and practice my Spanish even more.

Jeff is a great teacher. I've been taking lessons with him for years now. He's been very patient with me as I learn Spanish at my own pace. He encourages, is kind, and develops interesting and engaging lesson plans. I recommend him as a Spanish tutor and teacher. Jeff es un gran maestro. Llevo años tomando clases con él. Ha sido muy paciente conmigo mientras aprendo español a mi propio ritmo. Alienta, es amable y desarrolla planes de lecciones interesantes y atractivos. Lo recomiendo como tutor y profesor de español. Espero con ansias otro año de conversaciones y lecciones con él. ¡Feliz año nuevo! I look forward to another year of conversations and lessons with him. Happy New Year!
