¡Hola! I'm Eduardo, I come from Mexico but I'm currently living in New York City. I'm a native Spanish speaker and can speak English fluently as well. I can also speak some Mandarin and German, languages which I'm also studying here on italki! Besides studying languages and teaching Spanish, I'm also a composer and I love playing and writing music. I'm always looking for new music to listen to in different languages or that represent different cultures. Patient and flexible! I started learning languages over 10 years ago, and so I know what is like to be a student. This helps me to better understand and adapt to each students needs, since we all learn differently. I've had experience with complete beginners as well as more advanced students. And have helped some to prepare for tests as well, which I'm a big fan of. I've also had experience working with doctors, and so if you're one yourself we can work on healthcare related Spanish too. Whether you're looking to practice through conversations, or follow a more structured plan I can adapt to you. I do have a preferred book I like to use, but I'm always interested in learning about new books or methods. And I do like to give homework, just as long as it helps you to have something concrete to work on between lessons. The progress one makes as a student relies largely on the work done outside class, and so I encourage working on your own as much as possible so as to get the most out of our lessons.

Eduardo is really fun to talk to, very patient, and has a great memory. He always lets me speak without interrupting but remembers to correct me later, always in subtle way. He sends me useful notes in the chat about words I didn't know, or suggests new words when it comes in handy. He knows how to keep the conversation going, and he never once asked me to write a review even after all the many classes I have taken with him. So I figured it was long overdue. We never run out of topics to talk about, since he always seems genuinely interested in many things and knowledgeable about them as well. If you're a musician or especially if you're a guitar player you're gonna have a blast talking to him! (which is definitely the case for me). I think my Spanish has improved quite a bit over the past year thanks to all the conversations we've had. Mil gracias, Eduardo!

Eduardo is an excellent Spanish teacher. He is very friendly, and it's incredibly easy to have conversations with him. Lessons are always fun, and the time just flies by. Eduardo is highly knowledgeable, and you can talk with him about any topic. He is very patient and explains and corrects in a kind and supportive way, making sure you never feel uncomfortable.

I really enjoy my sessions with Eduardo, and felt comfortable and at ease with him from my first lesson, despite being a beginner in the language. He is patient, good-natured, and kind, and I feel supported in my attempts to use the language; even though I make tonnes of mistakes, Eduardo is selective in his corrections and guidance, and I don't get overwhelmed or discouraged.

After more than 30 classes with Eduardo, I’m confident in saying is a fantastic teacher. He easy to talk to and has knowledge over a wide range of topics. I also enjoy how he compares typical Mexican dialect with words heard in other countries. I would highly recommend him to anyone!
