About Me
italki teacher since Jun 21, 2021InterestsTravelWritingHistory
I studied Social Communication at the Universidad Javeriana and a master's degree in Journalism from the Universidad de los Andes. Two years ago I started to learn French on my own. Later I proved that it was possible to learn a language on my own and today I can speak seven of them.
It was precisely my passion for travel that made me discover myself as a language lover. In fact, as the world returns to its normal state, I feel that learning a new language is the closest thing to travelling that we can do nowadays.
Me as a Teacher
Having learned English, French, German, Portuguese and Catalan I'm familiar with language learning processes. Although I have taken courses, I believe most of the process is autonomous. More than a grammar teacher, I would like to be a guide. It's crucial to fall in love with Spanish, which I plan to do with you through classes where I will also show you the exotic and colorful culture, landscapes and people of my wonderful country Colombia!My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are based on my own experience as a language learner. They can be customized according to your needs and learning style. If you wish, we can focus on speaking while you get grammar on your own through excercises and guides that I send. It is also possible to work together on tenses and rules in a more conventional way, if you wish to do so. I also use different resources such as diaries, texts, audios and videos in lessons where, besides the language, I show you the Colombian culture.My teaching material

Enrique is an excellent teacher who has a natural grasp of how students learn. He’s helping me regain my confidence in all aspects of Spanish after years of not using it. I’m amazed at how quickly it’s coming back working with Enrique.
