Me as a Teacher
I hold certifications in Teaching Spanish as a Foreign Language from both the Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana and Instituto Cervantes. With over 3 years of experience in online teaching, I have accumulated hundreds of hours guiding students in learning Spanish. It has been a rewarding journey, and I continue to be passionate about helping others develop their language skills.
My lessons & teaching style
My specialties are Spanish for beginners and for travel purposes. I believe that the key to learn a language is to use it right from the start, even if you don’t have any previous knowledge of Spanish.
I adopt a communicative approach aiming to make your learning journey as enjoyable and easy as possible. I see language as building blocks, enabling students to gradually progress from individual words to complete sentences. I prioritize speaking skills initially and then introduce grammar and new vocabulary in a more natural and intuitive manner.
By focusing on practical communication my goal is to provide you with a solid foundation and empower you to engage in meaningful conversations.

As an adult learner, Miguel was an excellent choice as my first teacher. He brought with him patience, humor and a historical knowledge of Spanish that was incredible. His communication and teaching is very fun and casual, while still professional and efficient.
