Hi, I'm Faruk and I will be your Spanish coach.
I was born in a beautiful city on the Caribbean coast of Colombia called Santa Marta and after 17 years I moved to Medellin where I did my studies in law.
I am a contract lawyer by profession and since 2020 I have been teaching Spanish as a foreign language by coincidence and there I found my vocation.
I currently live in Madrid, Spain with my wife Mathilde.
I am cheerful, friendly, calm and hard-working to achieve my goals. Always with a smile.
I am an audiophile and music lover, I also play the guitar and try to sing. I like technology and reading about it, as well as reading press articles in general. In my youth I used to play soccer.
Me as a Teacher
I have a very neutral accent in Spanish because my profession demands it and also because I have lived in several cities in Colombia and now in Spain.
As a teacher I am a friendly and patient but always professional. Because I have learned other languages I understand the needs of people who are trying to learn or improve a second language. That is why I will adapt to your needs and focus mainly on them to improve your Spanish.
I can help your Spanish in a fun and efficient way whether you are a beginner or advanced, emphasizing conversation where we will practice or I will explain grammar, verb conjugation, verb tenses and a lot of new vocabulary.
My lessons & teaching style
I like to create a pleasant and dynamic environment to make you feel comfortable and without any fear of learning or conversing. I try to make the most of the time we have in each lesson, always in a dynamic and interesting way.
Although we can also have a conversation on very diverse topics to enrich your vocabulary and your ability to discuss many subjects. Even in professional areas I can help you to write o translate texts and analyze them.

Faruk went above and beyond and prepared
a very helpful and interesting lesson about a grammar problem that many Spanish learners have, and he was really good at explaining the differences and reasoning. Faruk always comes to lessons prepared with something he wants to talk to you about, and his teaching style of mixing it up every lesson keeps things engaging and interesting.

Mr. Erebrie is the epitome of professionalism. Our class was well structured and thought out. I received much needed corrections on words I had been mispronouncing for years. Book a lesson while you can.

Loved my first class with Faruk. He is extremely friendly and a great conversationalist with firm interest in knowing exactly what your goals are in the language and how you can achieve them together. He has interest in making sure that you have ownership of the class and your activities in the classes align with your personal interests. After only one class, would definitely recommend booking classes with him to anyone looking for a tutor.

Faruk is a brilliant teacher. He is genuinely interested in who you are as a person and has a friendly natural teaching style. If you’re struggling with words or verb conjugations Faruk does a great job at hearing the mistake and kindly reminding you how to say it. He quoted Gabriel Garcia Marquez “Spanish belongs to those who speak it.” His teaching pedagogy is inclusive and so fun! Book him today you won’t regret it.
