¡Hola a todos! I'm a Dominican native Spanish speaker and certified ELE teacher with over 5 years of experience. I study Psychology, which helps me understand how each student learns and how to boost their confidence when speaking. I’m passionate about languages, I speak English, French, and some Mandarin which allows me to not only better connect with my students but also to understand their challenges learning my language. I always seek to improve my teaching by taking courses and exploring new methods that make learning more effective and engaging. My goal is to help you be fluent and feel comfortable speaking Spanish through personalized and structured lessons.

Highly recommended! Patient, knowledgeable, and perfectly paced! I have been taking weekly lessons with Iván for the last 4 months. Iván is incredibly knowledgeable and patient, which creates a comfortable learning environment. He provides a wealth of new vocabulary and helpful corrections, but does it in a way that is never overwhelming. My spanish speaking has immensely improved thanks to these weekly lessons. Do yourself a favor and book with Iván!

I cannot say enough good things about Ivan! He’s a fantastic teacher, very patient, and is able to cater to your current skill level. Before I started lessons with him, my speaking skills were non-existent and now in a month, I have been able to piece together sentences comfortably. I know that in no time I will be able to become conversational in Spanish, with his help! His lessons are a mixture of structure and conversation. Personally, I love this because it allows me to link what I am learning into an every day scenario/situation. I highly recommend him!

Very practical trail lesson. Ivan gave a review of different materials that he can use during classes and gave a brief sample lesson. The lesson was entirely in Spanish, and he did a great job explaining concepts or words I didn't understand while continuing the speak in Spanish. I finished the trail lesson with my brain already engaging in Spanish.

Ivan is a great tutor. His teaching style very patient, attentive and reassuring. I like the fact that he corrects and provides explanations to me in Spanish (and English if necessary lol) which helps me improve my listening and comprehension. I am looking forward to continuing lessons with him.
