Hello! My name is Ignacio and I am keen to help you improve your Spanish.
After an international career spanning over 25 years as an officer of the United Nations managing international aid, I have retired early to enjoy other things I like, and as such, now I have plenty of time to tutor students to further their conversational skills and broaden their vocabulary.
I studied in the US, France and Japan and worked overseas in Asia, Africa, Europe and the Americas. I realize that my background is very useful in relating / communicating with my students. I am equally fluent in French, English and Portuguese, while I remain a learner in many other languages, wherever I have lived!
Ik als leerkracht
I have been tutoring conversational Spanish for the past 10 years, as a hobby with friends, now as a part-time hobby to help students deepen their knowledge of the language beyond grammar and textbooks, while we do of course address grammar issues as they may arise. Presently, I tutor in conversational Spanish online. I like to make my classes fun to ensure you are enjoying yourself.
My students include those who want to improve their spoken Spanish, pilgrims on the Camino de Santiago, retirees & expats about to move to Spain...
* I teach levels A2 (advanced beginners or pre-intermediate) & above.
I welcome your FEEDBACK in the REVIEWS section to continue improving.
Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
My conversational classes are intended to help students improve their oral skills, both practical conversation as well as pronunciation.
My methodology is simple and effective:
1- Understand the student's needs and define learning goals.
2- Propose a teaching approach based on students' preferences and combining various resources (for ex. Q&A, audio, video, role play, text, etc).
3- Maintain a structure with purpose, we don't talk randomly.
