About your spanish tutor
Hello! My name is Jose, and I’m a passionate Spanish teacher with a strong academic background and a genuine love for language learning and teaching. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Languages, as well as two Master's degrees—one in Teaching Spanish as a Foreign Language and another in Hispanic Studies and Literature. These studies have given me a deep understanding not only of the Spanish language, but also of the rich cultural and literary traditions of the Spanish-speaking world. I have more than three years of experience teaching Spanish to students from all over the world, including beginners, intermediate learners, and advanced speakers. I’ve worked with people of various ages, nationalities, and learning styles, which has taught me to adapt my teaching methods to meet each student’s specific needs. My teaching philosophy is centered around communication—I want my students to feel confident using Spanish in real-life situations. I create engaging and interactive lessons using a wide range of materials, including videos, songs, games, readings, and real-world tasks. I also incorporate cultural topics to help students gain a deeper appreciation for Spanish-speaking countries. What I love most about teaching is seeing my students grow and gain the confidence to express themselves in a new language. I aim to make every class enjoyable, meaningful, and tailored to your goals, whether you're learning Spanish for travel, work, studies, or personal interest. I look forward to helping you on your Spanish learning journey!

Spanish classes highlights
I believe that learning a new language should be both effective and enjoyable. My teaching approach is communicative and student-centered, which means I focus on helping students use Spanish in real-life situations from the very beginning. I adapt each lesson to the student's level, goals, and learning style to ensure progress and confidence. I use a variety of teaching methods and materials to make the language easy to understand and memorable. These include visual aids, interactive exercises, games, short videos, songs, and real-life dialogues. I also create personalized activities that reflect the student’s interests, which helps keep motivation high. I explain grammar in a clear and simple way, always with plenty of examples and immediate practice. I encourage students to speak as much as possible during class, because I believe that active use of the language is key to fluency. I also use repetition, scaffolding, and contextual learning to help students retain new vocabulary and structures. Whenever possible, I include cultural content to make the learning experience more meaningful and to help students better understand the context in which the language is used. Whether you're a beginner or an advanced learner, my goal is to make Spanish not just understandable—but truly enjoyable to learn.

Spanish concept taught by Jose
Jose and Alex dedicated their Spanish lesson to mastering irregular verbs and understanding the distinction between 'saber' and 'conocer,' both translating to 'to know' but used in different contexts. Alex actively completed exercises, classifying sentences with the appropriate verb. For future lessons, Jose will create a Google Doc to help Alex remember key sentences, and they have scheduled their next class to continue their work on irregular verbs and the proper application of 'saber' vs. 'conocer'.
Saber (To Know - Facts/Ability)
Conocer (To Know - Familiarity/Experience)
Jose and Caroline dedicated their Spanish lesson to reviewing reflexive verbs, expressing future plans with 'ir a', and discussing obligations using 'tener que'. Caroline actively engaged in conjugating verbs and crafting sentences to articulate her daily routines and upcoming activities. Their next lesson is slated to cover expressions like 'I like/don't like' and various irregular verbs.

Jose guided Shelby through a Spanish lesson that focused on expressing future plans using 'ir + a + infinitive' and discussing likes and dislikes with the verb 'gustar.' Shelby actively practiced constructing sentences and diligently corrected her errors in conjugation and article usage. They concluded the lesson by scheduling their next meeting to continue working on expressing preferences and to learn how to agree or disagree with others.

Jose provided Alex with a Spanish lesson, delving into irregular verbs, including stem-changing and those with irregular 'yo' forms. They also covered reflexive verbs and their proper usage.

Jose and Shelby dedicated their Spanish lesson to reviewing how to tell time and began exploring ways to express plans and obligations.

Jose Torres tutored a student from Texas Christian University in Fort Worth on Spanish verb conjugations, focusing on irregular verbs and stem-changing verbs. The learner practiced conjugating various verbs using a shared Google document for real-time feedback. This lesson emphasized memorizing verb endings and irregular forms, and they were given access to the document for future review.
