Hello, I am Marvin, a Native Spanish speaker from Costa Rica, I studied software engineering at my University. I really like teaching and helping foreign people who want to learn Spanish, I also like learning new languages like English and Japanese, so as a student I can understand how challenging it is to learn a new language and as a tutor I can help you to achieve and to master your goal in this great and interesting language which is Spanish. I have traveled to many places of my country, so if you are also interested in my country it will be a pleasure to tell you about many interesting places that my country has.
Feel free to send me a message, see you in my lesson.
Thank you.Me as a Teacher
I am a very friendly, fun and supportive Tutor. My lessons are adapted to any level and preferences in order to make sure the student feels comfortable and ready to learn, I also encourage my students with motivation, support and knowledge in each Spanish lesson such as Conversation Lesson where we focus on pronunciation, listening and fluency, in Grammar lesson we will focus on grammar and vocabulary.
About my experience in teaching Spanish, I used to help foreign students at my university in order to improve their language skills: speaking, writing, listening and reading, with an emphasis on communication and grammar.My lessons & teaching style
My goal is to help you to become more fluent in Spanish as quickly and effectively as possible. I like keeping my lessons relaxed and fun so that you can learn Spanish without any pressure. My teaching style is to have a normal and casual conversation which is interactive and designed with full language integration (speaking, listening) but also, I have Grammar Lesson which I will teach you Grammar, vocabulary and also many practices in order to develop and improve your Spanish skill quickly.
Finally, if you need any help (Presentation, Professional Interview, Essay or Homework), then it will be a pleasure to design a lesson with a specific focus on your needs.

Just had my first lesson with Marvin and it was the best class I've had on italki thus far. He explains concepts in a very simple, clear manner and just has a relaxed and cheerful demeanor which makes him easy to speak with. The time went by very quickly. Thanks so much Marvin! Looking forward to our next classes.
Acabo de tener mi primera clase con Marvin y fue lo mejor clase he tenido en italki hasta ahora. Él explica los conceptos en una manera muy simple y clara, y tiene un comportamiento relajado y alegre, que hace que sea fácil hablar con él. el tiempo pasó muy rápido. Muchas gracias Marvin! Estoy deseando que lleguen nuestras próximas clases.

I always enjoy my lessons with Marvin very much. He is a very good at helping you improve your conversation skills and is very patient. I am grateful to him for all the help he has provided me this last year. I know my Spanish would not be where it is now if it was not for Marvins help.

A great sesion with Marvin, as always. This time we did a reading (instead of conversatiion). The topic he first chose didn't interst me very much, so I requested another. Within seconds, he chose another text that was fascinating. Marvin knows just when to step in and help me, and when to let me figure something out on my own. He provides examples of vocab usage when i need it. This time had a few minutes left to discuss it after I fin
ished reading, so we each gave our perspective on the topic. I highly recommend Marvin!

I will continue taking lessons from Marvin for a long time. Each lesson is personalized to my level and each lesson he builds upon where we left off in the last lesson— introducing new content but also re-enforcing content that we learned previously. His lessons are catered to me and my hour with him always goes by so quickly because I have fun with him. If you are looking for a Spanish tutor—- Marvin is your guy!
