Hola, ¿qué tal? Soy Matías👋. I'm a certified Spanish tutor from International House Buenos Aires with 10+ years of experience specializing in Argentinian Spanish and cultural immersion. I'm also the host of a podcast and a YouTube channel for learners.
Whether you're navigating the basics or oiling the gears towards fluency, my approach is simple: "I don't teach Spanish, I help you own it". It'll be great to share the adventure with you. Read on to see how we can work together!
Beyond Spanish: Drummer, writer, pizza lover, and proud dad. Let's make it happen. ¡Vamos!Ik als leerkracht
I see language teaching as fundamentally different from most other learning processes. It's not a transfer of knowledge or information from me to you, but a joined effort to understand how the system works and develop your natural intuition to know what's right and what's not. If you read through my profile and get the impression that we might be a good fit, chances are we actually will be. Try your luck! The most important takeaway is: I'm as invested in your success as you. We'll build a long-term cooperative relationship, where learning is the natural result of establishing a friendly connection with each other. Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
To me, a language is the gate into the culture of a country. For this reason, I host a podcast for Spanish learners, as well as a website and a YouTube channel dedicated to insights into Argentinian Spanish and Argentinian culture.
Besides that, I believe the real joy of learning a language shows when you take ownership of your learning journey. My priority is to create a space where you feel supported, comfortable, and accountable for your progress. In my view, having an open and friendly tutor-student relationship plays a great part in that. I promise you the time we'll spend together will be worth!Mijn lesmateriaal

Certificaten
Neuroscience applied to teaching - Asociación Educar para el Desarrollo Humano - 2018During 2017 and the first part of 2018 I completed a training course on Neuropsychoeducation, that is, Neuroscience applied to learning. It was an eye opening insight into how we react to new experiences and how we process information. Ever since then, I've applied the knowledge acquired to my language teaching.

Spanish Teaching Training Course - International House Buenos Aires - 2013I made this training course in one of Buenos Aires' best language schools. It was designed to give ELE teachers a comprehensive background into language teaching. We got practice straight away with foreign students and the experience was both valuable and useful in terms of the knowledge they shared and advice and suggestions given.

Bachelor’s - LawyerI graduated as a lawyer from University of Buenos Aires, one of the country's most prestigious public universities, in 2011. Upon graduation I worked as an attorney for some years but I'm currently not doing any law-related work, except those involving language teaching. I have regular classes and courses with foreign law students or people related to the 'legal world'.
Werkervaring
2014 - 2022
English TeacherFormerly a student in my school days, until I moved in to Córdoba I was an English teacher here. I used to have regular courses of students aged 9-18 and I'd tutor the older ones to sit for FCE exams. I also teach adults, tailoring my classes to fit their needs. I have a great time switching to my "English self" for a few hour every day.
Since we've moved to Córdoba, my courses have stayed virtual.
2014 - 2022
Spanish TeacherI decided I wanted to teach Spanish after living for 6 months in Brazil. While living there I had the chance to teach Spanish to hotel staff and felt it was exactly what I wanted to do wherever I was. Once I was properly trained, we included Spanish as a Foreign Language as part of the course offers. We've had students coming to study, but most of all, over the Internet, and well before the pandemic hit!

Matías is a one-of-a-kind Spanish tutor. He is astute, caring, and passionate about guiding your Spanish journey. I’ve religiously attended class with him 2x/week for 2 yrs. He has a well-defined program for beginners and a knack for pivoting. Working with him, I went from almost nothing to regular hour-long conversations on profound topics.
Studying Spanish is more than class - it’s hard work - but Matí is there with you every step of the way. ¡Aguante estudiar con onda rioplatense!
Matías es un fenómeno. Es atento y apasionado por acompañarte con el español. Durante los últimos 2 años tuve clase con él 2x por semana, sin faltar. Tiene un programa claro para principiantes y una habilidad especial para cambiar de enfoque cuando tenés dificultades. Gracias a él, pasé de no poder presentarme a tener charlas profundas. En mi trabajo ya manejo español y mis compañeros de Latinoamérica me entienden. Estudiar español es más que clase - tenés que laburar! y Matí está ahí en cada paso.

Matías's classes are always loaded with humour, information and fun. Booking the next series of 10 classes was a no brainer and I'm already looking forward to next week. :)

I appreciated that Matias listened to my goals in our first trial class and tailored the next class very appropriately to start working towards those goals.

Matías is an excellent teacher with a great personality. It is so easy to talk to him and I have never had a boring lesson or conversation with him. The way he suggests corrections is very useful and encouraging at the same time. Thanks to Matías, I am more confident in conversing in Spanish and looking forward to taking my DELE.
