My name is Leonardo and I'm 42. I'm from the north west of Spain, Galicia.I have a high-level Bachelor Degree in History from the University of Santiago de Compostela. Where I also achieved my History PhD in September 2002. My studies included courses in English, Art, History, Geography and IT. I have a lot of experience learning languages, so I know how it works and how it is to learn this new language. I have also some experience teaching Spanish through language exchange in England with people from my college, and I've been teaching in other websites.
Me as a Teacher
I think that the best way to learn a language is conversation, and during my lessons we´ll talk about different topics . I'll use articles, news and exercices to get you talking. You'll see your listening skills, vocabulary and fluency growing, and the most important, your confidence, which is the clue and the best feature that a language learner should have. We'll make learning fun, easy and entertaining. So, what are you waiting for? Feel free to book a trial lesson and we can start learning together! I hope we can meet, I'm sure we'll get on!

Leonardo is very interesting and we had a dynamic discussion! He allows me to talk and make mistakes and suited the lesson to my needs. I will definitely do another lesson.

It was a great chat! I wish we had a better internet connection, though.
