¡Hola! I'm Hector and I'm a Spanish and English teacher with many years of experience.
Me as a Teacher
As a teacher, I believe the most important thing for a student is to feel comfortable while learning. I try my best to make students feel engaged, and motivated to practice and learn while they do most of the talking, even if they're just starting out.
My lessons & teaching style
tMy lessons are mainly conversational, but I make sure that every lesson, each student gets to learn and practice something new, whether it is vocabulary, common expressions or grammar structures. We can talk about any topic you like, or focus on some specific part of the language, either way after some lessons you will see improvement in your ability to understand and speak the language.
Please don't hesitate to ask me any questions about the lessons, I'm confident as a teacher that I can adapt to your needs, and good luck on your language learning journey!

I've been studying with Hector for 2 years. He's the best! Always challenges me and helps me understand difficult concepts. There is never a question or topic he won't address. Love my classes with him.

Hector es un gran maestro, la conversación fluyó sin pedo y me proporcionó con algunas notas sobre vocabulario o varias errores que había cometido. Super chido, gracias Hector!
