About Me
italki teacher since Dec 27, 2018
I began teaching English in Costa Rica, where I lived for over 10 years. My passion for languages has led me to study Spanish, French and Portuguese and has played a key role in my work as a teacher. In addition to these interests, I also make time for reading, biking and playing the guitar.

Me as a Teacher
As a language learner, I identify with my students and am able to give them study tips that took me years to figure out. I enjoy meeting new people and consider myself a person who is easy to talk to.
Como alguien que ha aprendido varias lenguas, me identifico con mis estudiantes y puedo darles consejos para estudiar que me tomó años aprender. Me gusta conocer gente nueva y me considero una persona con quien se puede hablar fácilmente.
My lessons & teaching style
My goal is to have an authentic conversation and maximize the student's talk time by listening and asking questions. Rather than interrupting people, I prefer to take notes and provide them with personalized feedback regarding their grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation.
Mi meta es tener una conversación auténtica y maximizar la producción lingüística del estudiante escuchándole y haciéndole preguntas. En vez de interrumpir a mis estudiantes, prefiero tomar apuntes para darles retroalimentación personalizada con respecto a su gramática, vocabulario y pronunciación.

Ross is an excellent teacher. I have learned a lot of Spanish working with him. He is very patient and easy to work with. I highly recommend Ross if you are looking for a language teacher.

I'm always amazed you always have a bunch of interesting thoughts to discuss and your ability to track every single mistake of mine at the same time. You're a true professional.

Ross has a gift that is not possessed by every teacher. Such an elegant eloquence is rare these days. He's not just teaching a language, he is dancing with the language, and it's contagious :) Thank you, Ross!
