Hello everyone, my name is Fernando from Peru. I am a Ph.D. candidate in Hispanic Studies at McGill University. I have been a Spanish teacher for over thirteen years in Cusco, Peru, and multiple online platforms. My classes not only focus on learning the language's grammar but also on developing communication skills. I am a published writer and have instructed courses in Latin American literature, art and culture, tools I use to enrich classes and student learning. I enjoy books, movies, music, art, gastronomy, and travel. I am very interested in different cultures and meeting new people. I look forward to meeting you and guiding you on your Spanish journey.
Me as a Teacher
As a teacher, I understand that learning a new language is a considerable challenge, but it is easier in a relaxed and enjoyable environment than you think. Together we will build the confidence you need to develop your skills in the language.
My lessons & teaching style
Lessons will cover grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation. I like to spend time in each class discussing topics like culture, books, movies, music, and current events.

Fernando is very patient and takes the time to explain when things are not clear. Moreover, even if you spanish is limited, he really helps you to overcome that struggle of not knowing how to say things.

Fernando is a well prepared teacher who knows well the structure of the DELE language exam. He was attentive while I was speaking spanish and corrected my mistakes which I like a lot because it helps me with improving my speaking skills. I can't wait to have more lessons with Fernando.

Fernando is an excellent teacher. He is very kind and patient with my beginner level Spanish. I was unsure of where to start with my spanish learning goals and he helped me formulate a plan that I am excited about. Plus I am already seeing results in my understanding of Grammer and vocabulary. Fernando is compassionate and I feel safe and encouraged to speak even though I know I will make mistakes. He always correct my pronunciation and takes the time I need to get the word or conjuction memorized.
I cannot recommend Fernando enough, he is a a pro at what he does!
Gracias Fernando!
