Hello! My name is Joaquín, and I'm from Lima, Peru.
For the past six years, I've been living and traveling in Europe, discovering and learning from its people, its history, and its culture.
I'm passionate about the humanities, and this is reflected in how I dedicate my time: linguistics. This discipline has helped me understand many aspects hidden behind human language.
Reading is another of my passions: from Homer's Iliad to Cervantes' Don Quixote, by way of ancient Greek tragedies and the fascinating short stories of Borges. Reading is an activity that accompanies me daily. Traveling is too; in a way, you could say that new cities are books that you read with your feet.
Currently, I am studying Linguistics and Applied Languages at the University of Cádiz, which has given me a broad and in-depth understanding of human language. In addition, I am taking a practical training course for Spanish as a Foreign Language (SFL) teachers at the Higher Center for Modern Languages at the same university.
During the lessons, we will focus on improving details such as pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, and listening comprehension, always taking into account the diverse cultural aspects of Spanish.
As a tutor, I will create a personalized language profile for each student to address their individual needs and areas for improvement. My lessons are immersive and will be taught entirely in Spanish, using English as a supplementary language when necessary.

Joquin is an incredible teacher. He tailors the sessions to your needs and levels. He flows between using the languages as you need and feel comfortable with. He's friendly, non-judgemental, and still focused and serious about your learning. I would recommend him to anyone looking to improve their Spanish skills.

Joaquín is a solid teacher! The material he uses in class is great for learning, he wants to make sure I understand the language and explains the reasoning behind certain language rules. He is patient and always on time and is dedicated to teaching. He challenges me when I try to take the easy route with my answers. I'll continue my Spanish learning journey with him!

Joaquín is a great Spanish teacher for conversational practice. He’s easy to talk to, relaxed, and creates a comfortable atmosphere that makes speaking feel natural. He’s also well-informed on a variety of topics, so conversations stay engaging and interesting. Highly recommended if you want to improve your fluency in a natural, low-pressure way.
