Tuve Jorge como profesor cuando estaba en Medellin y estamos continuando por Italki. Él enseña en una manera fácil para entender y me ayuda mejorar cada vez que hablamos.

Jorge was incredibly well prepared, and provided a perfect mix of grammar rules with conversation practice. I could definitely tell this was not his first time teaching!

Jorge is smart, interesting, prepared, professional, and engaged as a teacher. I am enjoying working on reading and conversation with him, and appreciate how he remains attentive to unobtrusively correcting my ( many!) mistakes during our often lively and always interesting conversations. He is really good at explaining nuance and context, and at helping me express myself in more sophisticated ways. I spent a lot of time looking for a teacher who combines intelligence, interest in literature, conversational skill, humor, and attention to detail, and I feel super fortunate to have found Jorge-- Highly recommended!
