Great for beginners, kids, and people who are finally looking to use what they've learned on Duoling ¡Qué onda! My name is Miguel, and my last name is Bear (I know, it matches my bear-like appearance). I love my God, my family, my job as a teacher, and I'd love to meet you! I worked and lived for a while in Chicago and Houston, and thanks to that, I love the United States (except for the northern winters). I've been a Spanish teacher on Italki for 6 years (and I can't get bored of it) My focus is on conversation, NOT grammatical perfection. Communication is number 1 because we're human, and that's what we strive to do: communicate! I'll tailor the lesson to your needs. I like to use modern books with real vocabulary and audio apps like Pimsleur that build on your listening and speaking skills. I work with an approach based on ORAL and LISTENING comprehension. Every class begins with a series of questions, ENCOURAGING the student to SPEAK as much as possible. For specific topics that cause a bit more confusion (For vs. To be, Past vs. Imperfect, Subjunctive vs. Indicative) we work with many examples to get a DEEPER understanding of the different use of these topics. Mainly we´ll use GOOGLE DOCS to create homework and exercises with PODCASTS and MULTIPLE CHOICE TESTS. I also work with: GOGLE FORMS, PDFS, and ARTICLES.

Miguel Bear is a fantastic teacher whom I cannot recommend enough. He has nailed the right balance of free-flowing conversations while working on grammar and vocabulary. There is structure but not so much to stifle learning. Give him a try!

Miguel is a fantastic Spanish teacher. His lessons are structured, engaging, and fun! I've noticed a big improvement in my confidence in speak and understanding since starting classes with Miguel. I plan on taking many more!

Miguel is an excellent teacher who is both very engaged with conversation and willing to pause to discuss things I need to work on. I would recommend him to anyone who needs to practice their conversation skills.
