{TEFL Certified/ Prior ESL Volunteer Tutor/ Science, Technology, & Sociology Undergraduate} ¡Qué es la que hay mi corillo! I’m Emilio, a TEFL-certified English tutor from New York who loves conversational English and slang. My mixed roots (Puerto Rican, Italian, German, Hungarian) fuel my passion for languages—I speak Spanish and am learning Portuguese. I’ve taught students from Haiti to Japan using music, movies, and pop culture to make learning fun. Whether you’re mastering small talk or decoding slang like "no cap," let’s make learning YOUR language journey. ¡Vamos! I am a certified online TEFL teacher, and I’m excited to teach English as a professional tutor on this platform. I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Science, Technology, and Society, with double minors in Latin American Studies and Sociology.

It was my first time taking a class on italki, so I was nervous and a bit anxious. But Emilio made the class feel friendly and comfortable, and I was able to relax and talk easily in no time. He explains the parts I struggle with using various examples that help me understand right away. He also gives me precise feedback on the areas I want to improve. I'm looking forward to more lesson with Emilio!
