Learn Colombian Spanish from a teacher who truly gets English Hi, I'm Matteo — a native Spanish speaker from Bogotá, Colombia, with over 10 years of experience teaching students from around the world. What sets me apart is simple: I'm a fully bilingual teacher. My English is at a C2 level, which means I don't just teach you Spanish — I explain it in a way that makes sense to an English speaker. I understand the nuances, the false friends, and the moments when your brain seems to fight the language. I've experienced the language-learning process from the other side. My background in Political Science and International Relations, which I studied in both Colombia and the Czech Republic, shapes how I approach communication: with precision, critical thinking, and cultural context. I'm a person of wide interests — politics, history, culture, music, travel, and current affairs — which means our conversations are never dry. I adapt lessons to what genuinely interests you, whether you're learning for work, travel, relationships, relocation, or personal growth. My approach is conversation-first, always clear, and tailored to your specific goals. Together, we'll build the confidence and practical skills you need to use Spanish naturally in real-life situations. If you're looking for authentic Colombian Spanish from a tutor who truly gets English, I'd love to help you reach your goals.

I've done a few lessons with Matteo and he's great! He's very patient, punctual, and come to each lesson with a plan. He is fluent in English so he can always help me get through an issue if I'm stuck. Matteo is also very well educated and informed about current events. So we never have a shortage of things to talk about as I like to discuss current events as well. I highly recommend him and will continue taking lessons with him.

Matteo is very professional, engaging and interesting. He came prepared with the first lesson with a video for me to watch based on my bio that he had read so that we can discuss it. He gives me appropriate homework and helps correct my pronunciation and my grammar in a positive upbeat way. Matteo is interested in the world, has traveled a lot, is intellectual and it seems we can talk about anything. He is very positive and his accent is neutral and useful for me since I travel both to Spain and to Mexico (and hopefully soon to South America as well). I recommend him highly. He's on time, was flexible and understanding when I had computer issues on our first lesson, is patient, and just a pleasure to have as a teacher.
