¡Hola! Hello! Benvinguts! いらっしゃい!Bonjour! Willkommen! Benvenuto! Добро пожаловать! Hola! Soy estudiante de 4º en la universidad 🎓 de filología anglo-germánica. Llevo 5 años en italki y me encanta hablar sobre anime, cámaras, LGTBQ+, ballet, idiomas, culturas, estudio, deporte, Harry Potter, LOTR... Espero verte pronto en clase :) I am not a professional teacher, so I am not qualified to actually TEACH English/Spanish/Catalan, but I can help you PRACTICE. I do not have any teaching materials (workbooks or exercise books). Any readings we do in class, the student should find for themselves. But working with me (a native speaker) will help you improve your speaking, writing and reading skills in an informal and casual way! I always take 5 minutes before/after class to get ready for my next student. This means 30 minute classes =25 mins, 60 min classes =55 mins I offer these lesson options: 1) Conversation Practice: Sessions will consist of light, casual and fun conversations. Talking together will help improve your English skills, and when you make mistakes I will be here to help correct you in an encouraging manner. 2) Reading Practice: Student picks a free online book/article to read during class, and then we will discuss it. This helps with pronunciation and expanding your vocabulary. 3) Describing pictures

As always, Juan Carlos has given an excellent lesson. We have a pretty good routine. We begin the session with normal conversation, sharing recent events and chatting like friends sitting in a coffee house. About halfway through the lesson, we transition to the part where I read Harry Potter aloud to practice my Spanish pronunciation of words. It's fun, and I love it. In our regular chatting session, I didn't understand "Gavarres." We opened a Google Map to show me. That worked. However, that made me want to ask about different parts of Spain. Juan Carlos helped me find a place in Barcelona where I only had fragments of memories to piece together "Mosaic tiles of a lizard." We found Parc Grüell, and it was delightful. I received all these lessons while practicing following directions to manipulate Google Maps and conversing in Spanish. For this Thanksgiving, I am very thankful that I've found a teacher who is so flexible and so incredibly patient.

Very encouraging and helpful. I asked if we could do an activity where I described various nail art designs, and he helped me learn new vocabulary and describe the designs in a way that made sense.

Multumesc foarte mult pentru lectie. A fost foarte incurajator sa vad ca ma descurc mai bine decat credeam, sa te inteleg si sa vorbesc. Multumesc pentru corectari si pentru ca mi ai oferit metode mai naturale de a vorbi decat aplicatiile pe care le folosesc. A fost o prima lectie foarte buna. Mult succes cu studiile, stiu ca ai sa te descurci de minune.

Maravilloso profesor, muy cercano, hace que el tiempo vuele y la experiencia no sea solo útil si no también muy divertida. Recomiendo para todas las personas que se sientan inseguras o tengan vergüenza.

This was a great class! Juan Carlos was an excellent guide to Castellano spanish. He has an excellent balance between being casual enough to teach slang words and provide context to the implications of vocabulary, yet professional enough to correct my pronounciation. It was an excellent hour that went by very quickly and I'll certainly be booking with him again.
