¡Hola! Soy Alex, de España. He sido profesor e investigador de filosofía en la Universidad de Zaragoza, the University of Cambridge, the University of Melbourne y en 東京大学. Ahora soy profesor universitario de español y filosofía e Investigador Principal de un proyecto de investigación sobre diálogo filosófico en el aula de español financiado por el Ministerio de Educación japonés. ¿Tienes un nivel intermedio/avanzado de español y quieres perfeccionar tu expresión oral? Te invito a explorar el diálogo filosófico. A través de un texto, aprenderás a generar preguntas, reflexionar y practicar vocabulario y gramática de forma natural. No necesitas saber filosofía. El objetivo es conversar de forma significativa sobre temas que te interesen y ganar fluidez. Como profesor, mi rol es ser un facilitador. Lo importante para mí no es transmitir conocimientos, sino guiar a mis estudiantes a formular sus propias ideas, a indagar y a profundizar en ellas. Intento crear un ambiente donde la curiosidad y la reflexión sean las protagonistas. Con este método, además de mejorar tu español, desarrollarás habilidades filosóficas clave como el pensamiento crítico, el pensamiento lógico y el razonamiento abstracto. Esta metodología es la misma que practico en mis clases a nivel universitario. Mi disponibilidad en italki es limitada, pero me gustaría ofrecer estas clases a más estudiantes. Si te interesa, escríbeme e intentaré abrir un hueco para ti.

I really value Alex’s staunch commitment to his philosophical approach— it lends itself to conversations that would actually happen between people— not just small talk. Meaningful conversation is generated and his open-mindedness and respect is precious. Alex provided a great amount of homework to do (which was optional) and I did all of it in preparation for our lesson. The homework helped me immensely in generating discussion and using my voice, personal thoughts, and knowledge. Alex is very adaptable and eager to dive deep into topics in a way that surprises me and excites me! Cannot wait until next week :)

Alex has a unique methodology and it's very involving and focused on practicing language and thinking in it. That's exactly what I need to improve my Spanish.

Wow what an incredible introduction to this platform— a very personal and creative teacher who cares about YOUR interests, philosophy, and how to expand your thinking in Spanish. I am extremely impressed and buzzing with excitement at the thought of being able to talk about what we discussed in the intro session and am grateful for the time he will spend outside of our sessions preparing. He is clearly a very compassionate and open-minded person who would adapt to any kind of student no matter what motivates them to learn. I cannot wait until the next week :)
