¡Hola! Soy Sebastián, apasionado por convertir estudiantes de español en hablantes seguros. Como especialista en conversación y cultura hispana, combino mi formación en Filología Hispánica con métodos dinámicos para que hables desde la primera clase. Amante de la literatura, el cine y los viajes, creo que el idioma es una puerta a realidades diversas. ¿Listo para aprender *usando* el español, no solo memorizándolo? ¡Vivámoslo juntos! Before being a teacher, I am a student, that is why my classes are designed from the student's point of view. My approach is communicative, and I use grammar only as a support. My goal is that my students can be linguistically competent in different real-life situations with native speakers, whether speaking, listening, reading or writing. The most important thing for me is that we have fun while learning. There are many methodologies for language teaching, the one I use is the one that best suits the student's needs. I like to work on projects where at the end of the course you can use what you have learned with native speakers in real situations that are useful to you. I use the 4 most common skills in language learning: listening, reading, writing and speaking.

Sebastián has been an amazing teacher for me, I started off with little to no knowledge of the Spanish language, and he has been so patient on my path to learn. He is so great at weaving lessons with current events and personalizing them according to your interests. He is not only a great teacher, but a very nice person and goes the extra mile for his students. He is a great choice for anyone hoping to learn a new language.

Sebastian is an excellent teacher. He shows interest in any subject you choose to talk about from reading, politics to traveling and food. He is also very helpful in correcting me and finding fun and educational activities to do. The hours always fly bye and my Spanish skills have advanced largely. Gracias por todo✨✨✨

Sebastian is a professional teacher. He helps me with gramatics and pronunciation. I'm waiting for lessons with him every time. Unlike many teachers, he is very educated and with him interested to discuss various topics. He is also attentive and conscientious .
