Alex Napoles Tafuri

Alex is the real deal! There are many Spanish teachers here on this platform, but pay attention to all the extra work that Alex puts into his offer: he writes an easily accessible blog that students can review before a class for discussion topics and he recently released a podcast. He's fun to talk with and flexible in his scheduling. I was lucky to be his 1000th class and I can feel his experience through his easy demeanor and professional yet friendly approach. Thanks Alex!

Alex has outdone himself, BEST teacher I've had: he customizes the lessons and prepares fun activities and conversations. I am interested in Argentina and Castellano and so he has taught me Lunfardo words and Argentine/Castellano expressions. Such an amazing process because he will send me resources for personal study. I have seen massive jumps in my Spanish since I started learning from him because he is patient and when I forget a word, or don't know how to say something, he helps me learn on the spot. I kid you not! My Spanish was very beginner when I met Alex. And now I already am speaking faster and smoother and it has only been a few weeks.

Alex is a great instructor! Super easy to have a conversation with, great at teaching the Argentine accent. Time flies when we're chatting and I have learned a lot.

Alex is an amazing instructor and I always look forward to our lessons. I've noticed a major improvement in my Spanish, especially being more confident in conversation since starting lessons with him a few months ago. Alex is great at understanding my level of Spanish when approaching lessons and is supportive in challenging me to improve. Not only has Alex been a great instructor of the language, he's also been very helpful in understanding Argentine culture, politics, and other aspects of the country in preparation for my trip.

Great lesson today focusing on the pasado simple. Alex is a very patient and calm teacher who makes complex grammar much easier to understand. Highly recommended!

If you want to actually understand the nuances of Spanish, book a session with Alex. We’ve been working through the pretérito imperfecto, and he explains complex grammar in a way that is easy to digest. He’s patient, professional, and brings a great energy to every lesson. Very much recommend!
