About Me
italki teacher since Jun 14, 2021Interest topicFilms & TV SeriesHistoryGaming
My name is Jesús and I'm from Barcelona (Spain), I've been always passionate about languages and I love learning new ones. I love fantasy and science fiction, so as you can expect I'm a big fan of The Lord of the Rings and Star Wars. I also love mythology, and I expend hours reading about Japanese folklore, Norse and Greek mythologies!Me as a Teacher
I've been teaching Japanese since 2012, and I became a certified teacher on 2018! Currently I'm a certified teacher in Spanish, and I have a lot of experience in teaching Catalan and English as well!My lessons & teaching style
Teaching from A1 to C2! Forget about memorizing infinite verb charts! We will make things dynamic and fun! I'll explain to you all the grammar you need in fluent English. If you just started with the language and we will add more and more Spanish or Catalan little by little! For higher levels we can work with everything directly in Spanish or Catalan.My teaching material

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 the best, I've made progress I never thought I would do with him. He's super super super smart, and knows how to frame things in a way that clicks with me. The lessons are relaxed, and they are a lot of fun. I'd recommend him to everyone!!

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!
