About your spanish tutor
I am a language instructor with over five years of experience in middle and higher education, specializing in Spanish classes for learners at all levels. My expertise lies in providing personalized learning experiences that develop speaking, writing, reading, and listening skills. I offer engaging lessons for beginners, intermediate, and advanced students. I create a dynamic classroom environment through role-playing and task-based activities, focusing on real-life, contextualized, and culturally relevant situations. Media, art, design and gaming are also part of each class. As a teacher and educator, I am skilled at addressing diverse student needs and providing a comfortable, supportive space to learn. Whether your goal is to start learning a new language, improve your business Spanish or to gain a deeper understanding of our literature and culture, I will guide you every step of the way.
Spanish classes highlights
I view learning as a constructive process where students actively build and adapt knowledge through meaningful engagement and use. In my Spanish classes, I balance professionalism and approachability, creating a supportive environment that fosters participation, confidence, and trust when taking risks. My methodology blends role-play, task-based learning, and cultural immersion through songs, short stories, games, and discussions, allowing students to connect lessons to authentic, real-life contexts. I treat mistakes as valuable opportunities to clarify concepts and expand understanding. This approach consistently strengthens speaking, writing, reading, and listening skills while motivating learners to produce personal, meaningful work and develop a deeper connection with the Spanish language and its diverse cultures.

Santiago and a student from Pasadena City College reviewed basic Spanish, covering the alphabet, numbers, and verb conjugations in present and preterite tenses. The learner practiced spelling, stating their age, and describing people's professions. For homework, they were assigned to create a family tree in Spanish, including names, ages, birth years, places of origin and residence, and occupations, using both present and past tenses.
