About Me
italki teacher since May 24, 2021Interest topicFoodWritingReading
Hello! I'm a Bolivian living in Bilbo, Spain. I am native Spanish speaker, but I enjoy learning other languages: I have a high English level, a basic French and a little bit of German. I studied communications and specialized in Writing for Film and TV in Vancouver, Canada. I love writing fiction and now I am working in some projects. I am a very passionate person in general, because I tend to have plenty of hobbies: I love traveling, playing music, chess, reading about science, space, animals and a lot more. I'll share with you a variety of content in Spanish! Give it a try!Me as a Teacher
Back when I was living in Vancouver, I had the chance to teach Spanish. I realized that you don't always need to go to standard classes to learn a language. The best way is to practice with a native speaker and I am willing to have conversational and creative classes with you. By getting to know each other's cultures and habits, we will make some impressive progress. We will also revisit some of the grammar and all that jazz. I know you have other things to do, but don't worry because we will do all of this lightly (it depends on you). I promise you that we will have some fun and interesting lessons!
¡Nos vemos en el aula!My lessons & teaching style
I offer you two kinds of lessons:
The first one is conversational. Let's use this platform to get to know each other. This class will be based mostly on your interests and main goals. We will analyze what your level is and what are your common mistakes. I love to know people and I think I am a good listener, so I'll be there for you :).
The second lesson is about creativity. When I was in Vancouver, I had to write in English. When you write, the great thing is that you stop translating everything and rather end up thinking in that other language. I offer you my creative experience so we can write about anything you want to. I promise you will see some good results.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.

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.

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.
