Over mij
italki leerkracht sinds 31 Jan 2020InterestsHistoryArtWritingScienceReading
I have over eight years of experience teaching Spanish to learners from different backgrounds. I hold a degree in Language and Literature, and my professional path includes university-level teaching, editorial work, translation, and literary writing, which has given me a deep understanding of Spanish grammar and structure.
I am also a recognized poet (three books published in Mexico and Spain), and I approach Spanish as a living language grounded in real cultural contexts. My classes combine clear explanations, conversation, and carefully selected texts to support fluent and confident use of Spanish, especially in Mexico and Latin America.Ik als leerkracht
As a Spanish teacher, I design structured and thoughtful lessons that challenge students while supporting steady, long-term progress. I place strong emphasis on clarity, accuracy, and meaningful practice, adapting each lesson to the learner’s goals and level. My background in literature and poetry informs my deep understanding of Spanish structure, style, and nuance, which supports precise and confident language use. Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
My lessons are tailored to each student’s goals and level, with a structured approach that integrates grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, and meaningful communication. I work with reading, writing, listening, and conversation as interconnected skills, using carefully selected texts—including literary and cultural materials—along with audiovisual resources and guided practice. My classes are grounded in real language use, with a strong emphasis on clarity, accuracy, and cultural awareness.Mijn lesmateriaal

TranslatorIn my work as an English-Spanish translator I must be in contact with the Spanish and English language all the time, I must apply my deep knowledge of the Spanish language (grammatical rules) and my efficient knowledge of English to perform my work correctly. So I am qualified to teach Spanish to native English speakers.

Raciel is a phenomenal teacher. He's well prepared to meet you at your level, provide materials, homework, and feedback. I know multiple people taking classes with him and everyone is having a great experience. Can't recommend enough.

I began lessons with Raciel knowing only light vocabulary words and key phrases. In 40 lessons of working with him, I can now communicate independently and feel prepared to go live in Mexico and receive further schooling there.
I have learning disabilities with language and Raciel is a very kind, patient, and encouraging tutor. It is obvious he is not only passionate about the Spanish language itself but also teaching and sharing his language and culture with others.
He strikes the perfect balance between pushing me to improve and giving the support I need to get there. Every lesson felt purposeful, and I felt stronger and more confident speaking each lesson. When he would notice I was having anxiety or issues he was quick to notice, explain, and slow down in the way that was best for me.
If you want a tutor who truly tailors each lesson to YOU, your personality, your level, and your interests, Raciel is that guy.
I truly could not recommend him more highly.

Language learning is a slow journey and Raciel is an excellent guide to navigate the wild adventure that is Spanish conjugation. I have been learning with Raciel for over a year and have noticed a considerable improvement in receptive understanding and my ability to communicate. Raciel has the patience of a saint while I stumble through sentences and always explains why one phrase or structure may be better to use. He is methodical and thoughtful in his explanations and uses a combination of traditional homework, on screen text to practice and discuss, and good old conversation. If you’re looking for a great teacher, Raciel is your guy!

Raciel is an excellent teacher, and his experience shows. He is incredibly patient and thorough, and takes the time to explain grammar and answer all of my questions. I'm pretty much an absolute beginner, and his classes offer structure with plenty of time for me to practice speaking, with homework to practice writing/reading. He is so kind even when I feel like my brain is overloaded and I make a bunch of mistakes. I highly recommend taking a class with him if you seriously want to learn Spanish and make progress, no matter what your current level is!
