I still remember the first day of my Spanish class with Santiago; I only knew a couple of words in Spanish such as Hola, Gracias, and 'Café con leche y croissan, por favor'. His passion toward teaching has walked me through the steps to practice speaking Spanish. His patience and quick wit make me feel comfortable even when I make some mistakes. Besides his affability and encouragement, I appreciate him being attentive in every single class with meticulous attention to my mistakes. For me, the best part of his class is that he does not give me a right answer immediately, but nudges me to guess the correct one so that I can feel like ‘I Accomplished Something Great!’ I want to express my sincere gratitude to you, Santiago and I am psyched for the next class! ¡Hasta pronto!

After a couple months of having to take a break from studying Spanish (because life got busy), I was super happy to get back to my lessons with Santiago. My first lesson back today, he helped provide realistic dialogues to help me review what I remember and help gauge what we need to work on moving forward as a beginner. Santiago always provides a fun, positive energy to our lessons, which helps motivates me. Santiago's method of providing examples of "real life communication" combined with grammar concepts, is unlike any other tutor that I have worked with. It's so much fun, that even when he checks to see if I understand correctly, I don't feel frustrated or like I'm being "tested" :D. Santiago will patiently help guide me to THINK and APPLY as needed, to help me understand the concepts. I've experienced a LOT of tutors on Italki (from learning French and now Spanish), and I can honestly say Santiago is one of the BEST and a favourite tutor of mine! ¡Muchas gracias Santiago!
