Samuel Fuentes

It was a great experience. Samuel asked me a lot of questions in Spanish to get to know me. As I answered, he worked with me on how to respond correctly. As I'm still learning, it really helped that as he was speaking in Spanish he translated right after in English for me.

Please don't use him as a tutor. Before the lesson, I explained I am upper A2 and wanted the focus to be speaking practice. Samuel agreed we would work on what I need to improve. However, he initially spoke extremely fast in Spanish — I had to ask three times within the first 15 minutes for him to slow down. After that, he switched almost entirely to English for the rest of the lesson. I continued trying to speak Spanish, but he kept responding in English, so I didn’t get meaningful speaking practice. The main takeaway was that I should immerse myself in the language, which I already knew. The lesson felt more like a language exchange where he was practicing English. I also question the C1 English level stated on his profile. I cannot recommend him as a Spanish tutor. I also found it draining to carry most of the conversation, especially when short Spanish questions led to long English answers. For feedback he just sent a copy and paste text from from chatgpt. He seems nice though.

😄✨ I had an absolutely amazing experience learning Spanish with this professor! He is a truly outstanding teacher — knowledgeable, patient, and incredibly passionate about what he does 😊📚 His lessons were not only well-structured but also fun, dynamic, and full of energy ✨ What I appreciated most was how he went beyond textbook Spanish and taught real Venezuelan slang and authentic accents from Venezuela and across Latin America 🌎🇻🇪 That made such a big difference in helping me understand how people actually speak in real life 😄 He is also very friendly, approachable, and supportive, which made every class feel comfortable and motivating 🙌😊 I always looked forward to our lessons! I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to truly experience Spanish in a practical, cultural, and engaging way 😊✨⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
