My name is Jesús, and I’m from Barcelona, Spain. I’ve always been passionate about languages and I truly enjoy learning new ones. I’m also a big fan of fantasy and science fiction (The Lord of the Rings and Star Wars are among my favorites). Another passion of mine is mythology: I can spend hours reading about Japanese folklore, as well as Norse and Greek myths! Besides languages and books, I also love art in many forms. I enjoy painting, drawing, and working with ceramics! it’s a way for me to express creativity and relax at the same time.* I’ve been teaching Japanese since 2012, and in 2018 I became a certified teacher. Over the years, I’ve had the chance to work with students from many different backgrounds and levels, which has given me a lot of insight into how people learn languages. I’m currently a certified Spanish teacher, and I also have extensive experience teaching Catalan and English. Having taught different languages for so long has allowed me to develop flexible methods and adapt my lessons to each student’s goals and interests. I teach all levels, from A1 to C2! Forget about memorizing endless verb charts, we’ll keep things dynamic and fun. I’ll explain all the grammar you need in fluent English, making sure everything is clear from the very beginning. If you’re just starting out, we’ll gradually introduce more and more Spanish or Catalan into the lessons. And if you’re at a higher level, we can work directly in Spanish or Catalan to make your learning exper...

Jesús has a great structured approach to teaching Spanish to complete beginners, introducing new grammar concepts in stages, with many exercises to reinforce them. He has also created his own materials that are great to use as references. I am very happy with the progress I am making.

I I feel incredibly fortunate to have found Jesus as a Spanish teacher! Learning Spanish has been a goal of mine for some time, finally, this year I decided to try out several teachers on this platform and Jesus’ organized lectures and flow of our meetings stood out above all others! He possesses an exceptional talent for meeting the needs of a student where they are at in their linguistic journey. Each lesson is engaging and thorough, additionally, he provides supplementary material and exercises to continue your learning outside of the scheduled lessons. In just a couple of months, I already feel so much progress in my understanding of the language—the structure of his lessons allow for a clear understanding of tenses and conjugations. If you find an opening in his schedule, book it, you will not regret it!

Un profesor maravilloso. Jesús es el mejor. After more than a year of studying Spanish with Jesús, I have come a long way. His teaching method is very good for all levels. He has a good pace, going through the most important grammar quickly so that you can start practising and speaking quickly. He has given me a good feel for the Spanish language. There's still a long way to go from beginner, now advanced, to fluent, but I'm looking forward to continuing with Jesús. Our conversations are now almost exclusively in Spanish. It gives me a good feeling and confidence. It just takes practice. Jesús can be strict, but he has a lot of patience. It's worth it because Spanish is such a beautiful language and it makes you feel good to speak it.

Jesús is a super nice and fun teacher who uses very creative, yet simple and practical methods to explain Spanish grammar. It’s also very fun to have conversations with him and he is very patient with mistakes, making you feel comfortable.

Jesús is the best Spanish teacher I’ve found, and now that I’ve found him I’m not letting him go! :D His classes are very well structured with a good balance of grammar practice and conversation. He explains things clearly, but even more importantly, he encourages me to figure things out for myself, which makes the learning process more active. He’s very engaging, and most of all, the lessons are fun - I always look forward to them!
