Certified Spanish and English teacher with more than 7 years of experience I have experience with teaching online as well as in a traditional setting. Being a language learner myself, I know what the most common challenges are when learning a language and the most successful ways to overcome them.

Spanish/English Tutor For Kids & Adults | Beginner Spanish (A0–B1+) | Conversation & Grammar English 🇺🇸 Hi! I tutor English and Spanish and I’m a university student majoring in Spanish (Linguistics & Teaching). I focus on clear explanations and natural communication. I'm freshly back from study abroad in Madrid, so feel free to ask me anything. English is my native language, and my lessons are fully personalized to your goals. No scripts, no busywork. 🌟 Español 🇵🇷🇩🇴 ¡Hola! Soy estudiante universitario especializado en Español (Lingüística y Enseñanza) con subespecialización en Educación. Ofrezco clases de inglés y español, enfocadas en la comunicación real y la gramática clara. Trabajo con niños y principiantes en español (A0–B2), adaptando cada clase para desarrollar la confianza al comunicarse. As a teacher, I place a strong emphasis on speaking the language. I believe real learning happens when you verbalize your thoughts, not just study rules. As a native English speaker, I also teach modern, commonly used expressions so learners can sound natural and up to date. As a non-native Spanish speaker, I understand how challenging it can feel to practice a new language. I help students build the confidence to speak without fear and keep going even when mistakes happen. I’m a patient and adaptable instructor who tailors lessons to each student’s needs and learning style, including learners who are neurodivergent. - Conversations - Reading - Non-invasive corrections - Videos - Games - Connection - Translation

Clear, supportive English lessons for All. Hi, I’m Cesar, a teacher in New York City with a passion for languages and real-world communication. Born and raised in NYC, I bring a multicultural perspective to teaching, speaking Spanish (native), Portuguese (fluent), and some Chinese/Japanese. Whether you want to chat about travel, food, or daily life, I’ll help you speak English naturally—with confidence and a smile. Let’s make learning feel like a lively conversation! (Working with Adults 18+). I’m a very adaptive teacher, tailoring my lessons to your goals, needs, and preferences. I focus on making you feel comfortable and turning English learning into an enjoyable hobby, rather than a strict, grammar-focused process that can feel discouraging. My lessons are relaxed, interactive, and adapted to your level and goals. I focus on real-life English and communication, not just grammar exercises. You’ll get plenty of speaking practice, vocabulary you can actually use, and tips to improve step by step. Whether you want to improve conversation, academic English, or everyday communication, my lessons are designed to make learning enjoyable and effective.

As mentioned, I believe having a native grasp in both English and Spanish is an advantage. It allows me to easily translate idiomatic concepts and expressions that don’t have literal equivalent from one language to the other. I can draw meaning from my native understanding of both languages (and my experience in using both in daily life) to find the right examples and the closest translations from the source to the target language. I studied linguistics and, even though it is generally not required for a language teacher to be trained in linguistics, there is a growing number of experts in the community who believe it's a huge plus. I've drawn countless knowledge from it to teach.

Posteriormente, conocí la página de Italki, fue un nuevo desafío y estilo; así que, poco a poco me fui enamorando de esta nueva forma de dar lecciones. En cuanto a mi destreza como profesora en el idioma español la adquirí por haber nacido en un país de habla hispana, estudiado y trabajado en la Corte y una Universidad en mi país

I try to live a creative and happy life every day, and I always wear a smile, I can't help it. I like traveling, movies and music. I'm originally from the Dominican Republic and I live in the United States. When I was young, some of my favorite subjects in school were languages.

For my lessons, I first would want to know what my students want but I can also prepare fun subjects to talk about.
