About Me
italki teacher since May 24, 2021InterestsFoodWritingReading
Hello! I'm a Bolivian living in Bilbao, Spain. I am a native Spanish speaker, but I enjoy learning other languages: I am highly proficient in English, have basic French, and a little German. I studied Communications and specialized in Writing for Film and TV in Vancouver, Canada. I love writing fiction and am currently working on some projects.
I am a very passionate person in general, with many hobbies: I love traveling, playing music, chess, reading about science, space, animals, and much more. I'll be sharing a variety of content in Spanish—give it a try!Me as a Teacher
When I lived in Vancouver, I had the chance to teach Spanish. I realized that you don’t always need traditional classes to learn a language—the best way is to practice with a native speaker. I’m happy to offer conversational and creative classes with you. By exploring each other’s cultures and habits, we can make impressive progress.
We’ll also review grammar and other basics, but don’t worry—we’ll do it lightly, at your own pace. I promise our lessons will be both fun and interesting!
¡Nos vemos en el aula! My lessons & teaching style
I offer two kinds of lessons:
1. Conversational: Let’s use this platform to get to know each other. This class will be mostly based on your interests and goals. We’ll assess your level and identify common mistakes. I enjoy getting to know people and consider myself a good listener, so I’ll be there for you :).
2. Creative: When I was in Vancouver, I had to write in English. Writing is great because it helps you stop translating everything and start thinking directly in the language. I’ll share my creative experience with you, and we can write about anything you like. I promise you’ll see real progress!My teaching material

I really enjoyed my first conversation with Jose, and I am very much looking forward to the next one. He has many qualities that I really value in a teacher: attentiveness, warmth, curiosity, a relaxed attitude, and interest in a wide range of topics.

Hablar con José es siempre un placer – no necesito viajar a un país hispanohablante para sentir el alma del idioma. José es muy erudito, por lo que no tiene ningún problema en discutir cualquier tema en un español más o menos avanzado (según lo desees). José, gracias por tus lecciones, que me llenan de ligereza.

José is a great teacher. The conversation was easy and enjoyable. He helped me with words I didn't know and was very supportive!

I enjoyed my lesson with Jose. We had a lively conversation about all kinds of things. I was curiously about his life growing up in La Paz and he had many interesting stories to tell.
