Hola! 👋🏼
My name is Héctor and I'm looking forward to helping you improve your Spanish. I'm passionate about economics, history, politics, geography, nature, and music.
I speak English fluently and some French as well, currently I'm learning Portuguese.
I love sharing my culture and knowledge with people from all over the world.
Can't wait to hear from you! :)
Me as a Teacher
As a language student myself, I'm familiar with all of the struggles that come within the process of acquiring a new language, that's why I'm a very practical, patient and laid back teacher. I believe the key to proficiently learning a new language is by making mistakes and solving them through practice.
My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are customized based on what you expect to learn and your interests. I think the best way to learn a language is by including all of the tools of an inclusive formation. Additionally, I will share with you songs, movies, and a lot of other Mexican culture that will help you immerse yourself into the Spanish-speaking world.
Lessons with Hector are like chatting with a friend but also can get plenty feedback on my Spanish. Hector would correct me if I used a wrong word or grammar. I really appreciate his corrections and patience!

Otra lección asombrosa y fascinante! Héctor es muy amable, paciente, e interesante. Siempre tenemos conversaciones intrigantes y cuando hablamos es como estoy hablando con un antiguo amigo. Tengo muchas ganas de hacer más lecciones con él.

Hector is a fantastic teacher! He just explained something I’ve been struggling with for about 50 years in a 30 min lesson! He explains, writes it out for you and repeats it. If you want to learn how to speak and understand Spanish, I recommend him as a teacher.

He commented, compared, and contrasted sports in each country. Very interesting! Also, we were able to determine different aspects of public choice. Fantastic! Finally, he was very patient with me as I was tired and slightly under the weather. Based on my limited knowledge, it was refreshing for him to speak some. I learn the vocabulary and sentence structure in that way. Great motivator!

He was very patient as I had to utilize the skill of storytelling. Anyone who knows about Spanish grammar understands that it can be very challenging for a non-native speaker, especially for an older language learner. Also, we were able to compare different and unusual foods found in Mexico. Very cool!

Thanks for clarifying the graphs and topics surrounding economics! It is wonderful to get an economics lesson in Spanish. It definitely increases my academic vocabulary.
