Tutor enfocado en la práctica de conversación ¡Hola! Soy un hispanohablante nativo de Costa Rica, tengo un nivel intermedio de inglés y un nivel principiante en portugués. Algunos de mis pasatiempos son: aprender idiomas, leer, el fútbol e ir a acampar. Me gusta mucho que mis estudiantes se diviertan mientras aprenden español, para ello usaremos videos, presentaciones, juegos, canciones, imágenes, entre otros. En clase, hablaremos principalmente en español pero si eres un principiante podemos cambiar a inglés de vez en cuando. En mis lecciones tendremos conversaciones sobre distintos temas, básicamente sobre cosas que te gusten. Además, no me gusta sólo utilizar un tipo de recurso, sino varios para no hacer la clase aburrida.

Emmanuel is a teacher that obviously is passionate and takes a lot of pride in what he does. He is very attentive and he goes out of his way to make you speak and speak with confidence. Every class is enjoyable and it's always a pleasure to be able to practice and improve my Spanish with Emmanuel.

Not only is Emmanuel the most naturally gifted language teacher I have encountered, but his preparation and professionalism help rank him as the best of the Italki teachers. He manages the classes effortlessly from casual conversation to prepared materials. During all points of the class, he will talk about culture, teach new words, help with pronunciation, and so much more. The thing he does undoubtable better than any other teach is GIVE CORRECTIONS, which I love. He gives a good variety and amount of corrections (pronunciations, word choices, verb conjugations, etc. etc.) and does so in an extremely nice manner while keeping the conversation and class going. He also gives the right number corrections, meaning he doesn't bog down the class with them. Emmanuel is so much better than other professors that cost much more than him. He is absolutely the best and really should charge more!! I always look forward to chatting with him. He's nice, interesting, and THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I really enjoy my Spanish lessons with Emmanuel. He explains things clearly and in a way that feels encouraging. The lessons are well structured, but still relaxed and conversational, which helps me feel confident speaking. He’s patient, attentive, and adapts the lessons to my level and goals. I always leave the class feeling motivated and more comfortable using Spanish. I’d definitely recommend him to anyone who wants to learn Spanish.
