About Me
italki teacher since Nov 5, 2024InterestsMusicArtTravelReadingHistory
Mexican translator and writer currently living in Brazil. I came to this beautiful country to study, I fell in love with a Brazilian woman, we got married, and now my life is here. I have worked as a linguist in the corporate industry for a long time, but I'm trying to switch to a career that is more in touch with people.
Escritor y traductor mexicano, residente en Brasil. Vine a este bello país a estudiar un posgrado, me enamoré de una brasileña, nos casamos, y ahora mi vida está aquí. Ya trabajé mucho tiempo como lingüista para el sector industrial, pero busco cambiarme a una carrera más en contacto con las personas.Me as a Teacher
I try my best to understand each student's needs. If you are simply trying to practice your Spanish, we can have a meaning conversation, or if you need help to pass a test or achieve fluency, I'll tailor our lessons to achieve your goals.
Hago mi mejor esfuerzo por comprender las necesidades de cada estudiante. Si sólo buscas practicar tu español, podemos tener una conversación significativa, o si necesitas ayuda para pasar un examen o alcanzar fluidez al hablar, adaptaré nuestras lecciones para que alcances tus metas. My lessons & teaching style
I believe learning a language comes hand in hand with getting to know the culture of the countries that speak it. That's why my lessons include artworks, poems, short stories, and short films.
Creo que aprender un idioma es inseparable de conocer la cultura de los países que lo hablan. Por eso, mis lecciones incluyen obras de arte, poemas, cuentos y cortometrajes.My teaching material

The only word that comes to my mind to describe my lesson with Enrigue is 'exceptional'. We talked about so many topics, went all round the world and exchanged many ideas opinions and experiences. Excellent! 👍

Enrique is a talented teacher. He draws from many different books and materials to put together an interesting and useful class. He is very insightful and I enjoy his classes not just for language learning but also for his insight when thinking about and analyzing text, which I have not been able to practice since college.

Enrique is kind, patient, and intelligent. I wanted to have a better understanding of cultures in Latin America through literature, and Enrique is an expert not just in the material but also in facilitating discussion. I thoroughly enjoyed the lesson and look forward to our next one. Gracias, Enrique!

I am really enjoying my lessons with Enrique! His lessons are thoughtfully designed with conversation, grammar exercises, and critical engagement with art and literature. His knowledge of the arts is a huge asset to him as an educator, both of language and of literature and culture. Very fun and dynamic. I highly highly recommend!
