Hello, my name is Álvaro and I live in Spain. I’m a certified Spanish teacher; I started teaching in 2016 and I haven’t stopped since — it’s one of my passions. I’m also an electronic engineer, and at the age of 17, I began playing basketball professionally in Spain, which I continued until the age of 21, when I could no longer study and play at the same time. I love travelling, reading, cooking, photography, and history — and I hope we’ll get to exchange recipes! I’m patient, I speak with a clear accent, and I will repeat anything you don’t understand as many times as necessary. I care about getting my students to speak from the very beginning. In my opinion, speaking is the most important part of learning a language, and that’s the way I teach. There is plenty of practice and conversation in my classes, always adapted to your level and needs. I use an online document, so you won’t need anything — I’ll provide you with everything necessary. In this online doc, you will be able to see our lessons, and after each one, you will find exercises to help you practice. In addition to that, I find it useless to teach vocabulary out of the blue; memorizing words that you might never use is pointless. I prefer to create the need for using specific vocabulary. Once you need it, you can ask me, and I’ll tell you what it is, show you these words in the document, and also add them to a spreadsheet that includes a translator. This way, I can keep track of every new word you learn in class...

Great introductory lesson. Gave me lots of confidence in moving forward with him. He showed me the resources and teaching materials he uses and encouraged me to speak in Spanish. I look forward to our next lesson.

Alvaro is a friendly tutor who is great with conversations. He prepares lessons that have me developing my skills and provides homework to help me to practice after lessons. We have great conversations and if ever I get stuck on a word, he helps me to pronounce it so that I can continue my thoughts. I would recommend Alvaro to other students who want to practice speaking and develop confidence with conversations.

Álvaro is great! He has a kind, attentive, and caring personality, and it's very easy to talk with him about practically anything. His explanations and corrections are clear and super-helpful.
