Spanish Teacher since 2019 | 4,300+ Lessons given on italki |LGBT+ | Conversation, Grammar & Culture Hi! I'm a native Spanish teacher and I've been teaching since 2019. I have taught more than 4,250 lessons on italki and have also worked in language schools, helping students of different ages, levels, and goals build confidence in Spanish. I'm passionate about languages, culture, and travel. Over the years, I've traveled throughout Latin America, learning about the linguistic and cultural diversity of the Spanish-speaking world. This experience allows me to help students understand different accents, expressions, and regional varieties of Spanish. I also have a background in theater, music, dance, and other performing arts. These experiences help me create engaging, dynamic lessons that encourage communication, creativity, and confidence. My lessons are personalized and adapted to your needs. Whether you want to improve your conversation skills, strengthen your grammar, work on pronunciation, or prepare for a trip, we'll create a plan that works for you. I strive to create an inclusive, respectful, and judgment-free learning environment. Safe space for LGBT+ and queer students. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ I can help you with: • Conversation and fluency • Grammar • Pronunciation • Spanish for beginners • Latin American culture • Music and media in Spanish • Regional accents and dialects • Spanish for travel I'd love to help you reach your Spanish goals!

They are the only person I feel like I truly get to understand the Spanish language fully. Classes are mixed with laughter, cultural exchange, and even history lessons on the language. I'm always looking forward for our classes! Thanks to them that my Spanish has improved sooooo much in the last few months. 🤍🫡

Dax is always a great conversationalist, and strikes a good balance of asking me questions to encourage my speaking, as well as speaking himself about what's going on in his life etc. Great conversation partner and a very cool person!

I really enjoy my lessons with Dax! They listen patiently and help me with what I am trying to say in Spanish. They make the lessons very relaxed, calm and comfortable. I have also had a chance to be party of their poetry class in Spanish which is a lot of fun. I highly recommend taking classes with Dax! Tim

Dax is extremely professional but still is kind and open to playful moments as not to keep the learning stuffy or boring. They do a lot of work creating learning material and made me feel comfortable fumbling through my lessons. I appreciate the space that they gave me to try but also the direction they'd provide throughout. They also are very knowledgeable in different words and cultures around Latin America so if you are looking for a specific dialect or regional knowledge, they are able to help focus on those parts too. I'd definitely recommend Dax for anyone but especially LGBTQ+ people because they have a lot of working knowledge around grammar and being inclusive in the way we talk.

Just finished my fourth lesson with Dax -- he is wonderful. Easy to talk to and inserts vocabulary at the right places. Love my lessons with him.
