I’m Octavio Reyes, I'm Mexican and I'm 34 years old.
I’ve lived in France for 2 years and 1 year in Canada.
I studied Law and I have a Masters Degree in Criminal Law.
I’ve taught History, Geography, Ethics and Languages for the last 10 years.
I love to travel and to experience new cultures. It is something that has helped me to appreciate the beauty of my own country as well deepening my interest in other cultures.
I consider myself a happy and easy going person, a deep thinker and a good listener. I love to teach as much as I do being a student myself and learning from others.
Animals and the natural world in which they live are also things that are of great importance to me.
Me as a Teacher
Mi experiencia como profesor comenzó hace ya varios años.
En 2010 di clases de inglés básico en una escuela primaria en mi ciudad, Puebla.
En el ciclo escolar 2015-2016 fui profesor de Historia de México en nivel secundaria, así como de Cívica y Ética, además di clases de Francés básico a niños de primaria.
En el ciclo escolar 2016-2017 participé en un programa como asistente de idiomas, por lo que enseñé español en Francia durante 8 meses.
Trabajé 5 años como profesor de Historia, Geografía y Cívica y Ética, esta última en inglés, en una escuela secundaria.
Actualmente soy tutor de Italki desde hace ya cuatro años.
My lessons & teaching style
Mis clases son muy didácticas, me gusta que el estudiante intervenga activamente, por lo que habrá bastante conversación en ellas, tomando un tema cualquiera para poder desarrollar las 4 habilidades del lenguaje, lectura, escritura, expresión oral y comprensión oral.
Estoy convencido de que las pláticas no son suficientes, por lo que estudiaremos también gramática, en este caso, se utilizarán herramientas como textos o videos para una mejor comprensión.
La música mueve al mundo, por lo que esa será utilizada para mejorar la comprensión oral.
Me gusta escribir, por lo que intento promover esta actividad en mis estudiantes.

I’ve had a few classes with Octavio now, and I can wholeheartedly recommend his lessons to anyone looking to seriously learn Spanish. He is able to balance free-flowing conversations with structured lessons and it truly feels like learning from a friend than a teacher. Even when I slip up and make basic mistakes, he is patient and he walks me through it in a way that I am able to fix my own mistake, which truly helps as it sticks and I don’t repeat it.
So yeah, 10/10, absolutely recommend!

My Spanish is good enough that our lessons are mostly conversation. Octavio is curious about EVERYTHING and we have suce interesting conversations. Octavio also teaches my granddaughter who has just begun to learn Spanish and he is equally skilled with teaching a beginner 11-year-old.

Octavio is a wealth of knowledge. I enjoy the cultural tips and history just as much as I appreciate the help with my Spanish. Always a joy to chat with.
