Joan

Joan is the best Spanish teacher on italki! My daughter and I tried a few teachers but narrowed it down to only using Joan. Since just strictly doing lessons with Joan in a few short months we are able to carry on lengthy conversations in Spanish, not just your average “Hi, nice to meet you” stuff. We had a bathroom renovation that took awhile and I was able to speak with a worker daily who only spoke Spanish. I really can’t recommend Joan enough. He is patient, kind, helpful, and motivating. Each class is filled with great content, with a lot of talking in Spanish and kind corrections. If you are serious about learning Spanish then you really need to do classes with Joan.

I always enjoy my lessons with Joan. He is fun, relaxed, and we talk about everything - music, culture, sports, politics, the weather, etc. And he will correct grammatical errors with precision and examples, but always in a gentle way. Plus he tailors the class to the student. Muchas gracias, Joan, por las clases agradables y útiles.

I so enjoy my classes with Joan. They are always different. We might watch a YouTube in Spanish and discuss the vocabulary, or read an article, or just converse about our lives. Today I described an image he showed on the screen and we let ChatGPT create the image from my description in Spanish. It was a fun way to learn vocabulary. He is well educated and both his Spanish and English are excellent. And I appreciate that he is patient, calm, and friendly. He aprendido mucho gracias a mis clases con Joan.

Joan is such a great teacher! I appreciate his patience and expertise. Highly recommend!

Joan as always gives great lessons and feedback

Great first lesson, it’s great to speak to a teacher that asks questions… it forces me to think!
