Mauro

I have been learning with Mauro for about a month and a half now and he is the BEST language teacher I've ever worked with. I am travelling shortly and I needed someone who could help me get to a basic level as fast as possible. I knew I would have to put in the work outside of the lessons and apply what I was learning, and I absolutely did. The result? I came from knowing nothing to being able to have a basic conversation in about 30 lessons. I look forward to every lesson because he makes every lesson engaging, exciting, and honestly hilarious. He places a large emphasis on speaking which is the most important and difficult thing to learn. Unlike other teachers, time is not wasted on useless grammar exercises and one-way dialogue. It is all interactive. His method of learning via storytelling works wonders and I can't recommend it enough. If you want to learn efficiently and have a great time doing it, look no further. Mauro is the king! Un profesor extraordinario.

My experience with Mauro for more than five years has been nothing short of exceptional. My Spanish speaking expertise when I met Mauro consisted of ordering beer and asking where the bathroom is. His passion for teaching is infectious. Mauro consistently goes above and beyond to ensure that I grasped the material, by providing clear explanations, engaging examples, and constructive feedback. What truly sets Mauro apart is his ability to create a fun and engaging learning environment. He incorporates a variety of teaching methods, including interactive activities, and real-world scenarios. Mauro is a true motivator. He has a remarkable ability to instill confidence in his students, encouraging them to push their boundaries and reach their full potential. I have made significant progress in my Spanish language skills. I have gained a deeper understanding of grammar, expanded my vocabulary, and improved my fluency in both written and spoken Spanish.

Mauro is undoubtedly the finest teacher on iTalki! His repertoire of engaging assignments and tasks for improving Spanish is truly impressive. I never find myself bored in his classes. Mauro constantly experiments with new teaching methods to tailor his approach to each individual student. One of his latest and most remarkable techniques is the utilization of "storytelling". This approach, known as the "input method", is widely regarded as one of the most effective ways to learn a language naturally. Through this method, Mauro effortlessly introduces new vocabulary in every lesson and seamlessly corrects errors through organic conversation, confirmation, and guidance within the context of the story. The best part is that it never feels like studying; it's an enjoyable and immersive experience.

I always have a great time with Mauro! I am looking forward to my next lesson!

After just 14 lessons with Mauro, I was able to order arepas in Spanish at my local Venezuelan restaurant!

Great lesson as always!
