Hailing from Gijón city (Northern Spain), and having a standard Spanish accent, I'm an atypical Spaniard to some extent, as I don't particularly enjoy football, wine and a few other aspects of Spanish culture (I do enjoy tasting tapas from time to time though 😉). However, having lived in China for several years provided me with a broader perspective and mindset that are very helpful to me, especially when it comes to teaching others. In addition, I have a penchant for irony and double meaning jokes, which is something very Northern Spanish, and that can provide some insight into the subtleties of the Spanish language.

我的教學經歷
I have taught in this platform for more than ten years, so I can consider myself a veteran 🏅Furthermore, I'm patient, easygoing, empathetic, and I know how to meet and fulfill student's needs effectively, as I have taught people from vastly different backgrounds, levels and objectives. As a former language student myself, I can totally empathize with those walking this path which is oftentimes not that easy. Consequently, I derive satisfaction from sharing the knowledge, wisdom and experience I have gathered both as a student and a teacher within the field of linguistics.
我的課程內容與教學風格
My lessons are heavily based on oral interaction from day one, and grammar is taught in an entertaining and effective way, with abundant examples and excellent materials. Also, my knowledge of other languages (English, Chinese and French) aids me on placing myself on student's shoes and be aware of the differences between Spanish and their mother tongue, so as to avoid possible obstacles that might arise en route.

5-Stars for Miguel!
I have been working with Miguel for the past six months, and it has been an excellent experience. His teaching style is clear, structured, and engaging, which has made learning Spanish not only effective but also enjoyable. He is consistently patient, taking the time to explain concepts thoroughly and ensuring I feel confident before moving forward.
What I appreciate most is his supportive and encouraging nature. He adapts lessons to my pace and learning goals, making the sessions feel personalized and practical. Each class leaves me with a stronger grasp of the language and greater motivation to continue improving.
I highly recommend Miguel to anyone seeking a professional, reliable, and truly helpful Spanish tutor.

After many lessons with him, I’m really happy I found such a friendly, attentive, and professional teacher. His lessons are well-organized, fun, and he adapts perfectly to any level. I truly feel I’ve made progress and always look forward to the next lesson. He even pushes me to speak more and feel more confident with my Spanish.

Miguel is a very dedicated tutor, patient and kind with students. His lessons are well-organized and incorporate a mix of grammar / reading / listening / speaking, which are essential for learning any language. I have progressed rapidly under his tutelage and am planning to put what I have learnt into practice when I visit Spain next month!
Miguel 老师很棒。他为人友善,很有耐心,并且处处为学生着想。上课时他讲解语法、阅读、听力和口语等 — 这都是学习语言的基础。在他的指导下,我进步得超快,想必对下个月西班牙旅游有所帮助。

Miguel has been fantastic at helping me to progress in learning Spanish! We've worked together for over 30 classes. I asked him to push me in my goals of learning to speak well and with accuracy -- he consistently helps me to do so. He strikes a great balance between letting me speak and letting me practice listening.
