¡Hola! Soy profesor certificado por el Instituto Cervantes, especializado en español práctico para viajeros, profesionales y expats. Con mi formación en Turismo Sostenible y años enseñando a extranjeros, te ayudaré a hablar con naturalidad en situaciones cotidianas: desde pedir en un restaurante hasta cerrar un trato. Mis clases son dinámicas y culturales, enfocadas en expresiones reales de México. Además, hablo inglés y portugués para apoyarte en cada paso. ¡Aprendamos juntos!Me as a Teacher
Are you planning to go on a trip to a Latin American country?
Are you going to move to Mexico?
Do you want to communicate with your boyfriend/girlfriend' family?
I have a DELE certification as a Spanish teacher by El Instituto Cervantes. I have taught Spanish for five years and have extensive knowledge of grammar and spelling.
I love my language and I'm determined to help you to improve your Spanish in an interactive, interesting and fun way. I adapt the classes according to your needs. As I studied Sustainable Tourism, I'm very familiar with the most common and useful expressions for tourists and travelers, in addition, I speak intermediate English & Portuguese. Let the lesson begin! My lessons & teaching style
My classes are not traditional. We don’t spend the lesson going through a textbook or completing repetitive exercises together. Instead, I provide study materials before class, so you can review them in advance and come prepared.
During our lessons, we focus on:
-improving your grammar and precision
-developing your speaking skills
-using Spanish in a natural and practical way
Each student follows a personalized learning plan, adapted to their goals, level, and learning style.
If you want to use a textbook, each lesson is based on a specific topic from it. I assign pages to review before class, and then we use our time together to practice what you’ve studied—My teaching material

Dar is the most excellent teacher to prepare you for the DELE. The classes were a simulation of the speaking part of the DELE exam, in which I would present a discourse, followed by Dar's questions, then a negotiation about a prescribed topic - exactly as in the real exam. After this, Dar would correct every error I made, which was essential and crucial for me. I really appreciated this specific feedback. Dar knows the DELE inside and out; exactly what is required, how to approach it, examiners' look-fors and what would cost marks. The resources he has are limitless and directly useful. In addition, Dar is very friendly, welcoming and positive, and really puts you at ease. I advise anyone who is serious about passing the DELE to take classes with him.

Darwin is a terrific teacher. I’ve had several on line Spanish teachers and and he is the best. He keeps the conversation flowing and comes back later to correct mistakes. He is prepared and professional. I recommend him highly.

Darvin is a patient teacher who takes time to evaluate your Spanish level and adjusts the lesson accordingly.
