About Me

Hello! My name is David, and I’m a native Spanish speaker from Colombia. Besides Spanish, I am fluent in English, Portuguese, and German. I’m a professional engineer, and in my free time, I enjoy playing the piano, watching TV series, playing soccer, and learning new languages.
I am a friendly, respectful, and approachable person who loves sharing my language and culture with others. Traveling and meeting people from diverse backgrounds inspire me, and I am passionate about helping students improve their Spanish skills. I believe in creating a positive, engaging environment where students feel comfortable and motivated to learn.
I look forward to supporting you on your language journey!Me as a Teacher
With experience traveling, living, and working in various countries, I bring a global perspective to my teaching. Speaking English, Portuguese, and German in addition to my native Spanish allows me to relate to the challenges of language learning. My approach focuses on creating a supportive, engaging environment where you can feel confident to practice and make mistakes as part of the learning process. Through interactive conversations and tailored feedback, I aim to help you build fluency and reach your Spanish goals naturally and enjoyably.My lessons & teaching style
Before starting the lesson, you can let me know if there's a specific topic you'd like to focus on and what your Spanish level is. This way, I can prepare the lesson and materials according to your needs, whether it's for travel, work, or simply improving your overall language skills.
We can discuss any topic that interests you, and I'll correct your grammar mistakes either during the conversation or at the end of the lesson. I’ll also help you expand your vocabulary and improve your pronunciation so you can sound more natural.
My favorite way to teach and learn a new language is through interactive and enjoyable conversations. I aim to create a relaxed environment and keep your high.My teaching material

Amazing lesson. I really enjoyed it. I was afraid since I am on a very entry-level with my Spanish, but the lesson was well structured. David knows what he's doing!

Thank you for your guidance and patience :) I'll try to use all new words at work this week, so that we can "practice and rehearse" more next time! Maybe when I remember them better, we could work on my pronounciation too? :) Have a good week, and see you soon!
