About your spanish tutor
I am a dedicated and passionate language teacher with extensive experience teaching Spanish, French, and Mandarin Chinese to learners of different backgrounds, ages, and proficiency levels. Over the years, I have developed a teaching style that combines structure with creativity, ensuring that my students not only understand grammar and vocabulary but also feel motivated to actively use the language in meaningful situations. My lessons are designed to be practical, interactive, and fully adapted to each student’s goals, whether they want to improve conversational fluency, prepare for exams, or gain confidence for professional or travel purposes. I strongly believe that learning a language is also learning about culture, so I always integrate cultural insights, real-life examples, and authentic resources that bring the language to life. With patience and clarity, I guide students step by step, helping them build a solid foundation while fostering curiosity and self-expression. My classes are a safe space where mistakes are seen as part of the learning journey, and encouragement is constant. By combining modern resources, engaging activities, and a supportive atmosphere, my ultimate goal is to make language learning both effective and enjoyable. I am committed to helping each learner discover the joy of mastering a new language while achieving real and lasting progress.
Rodrigo graduated from Universidad nacional de San Juan


Spanish classes highlights
My teaching methodology is based on a student-centered approach that adapts to the unique needs, goals, and learning styles of each learner. I believe that every student is different, and for that reason I design lessons that are flexible, personalized, and oriented toward practical results. From the very first class, I focus on creating a clear roadmap with achievable goals, so students always know what they are working toward and can see their progress step by step. I integrate a balance between grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, and communication, but I emphasize using the language in real-life contexts rather than just memorizing rules. My methodology combines interactive exercises, authentic materials, role plays, and cultural content to keep lessons engaging and relevant. I also use modern digital resources, games, and multimedia tools to make learning dynamic and motivating. Mistakes are treated as opportunities for growth, and I encourage students to speak and experiment with the language from the beginning, building confidence in a safe and supportive environment. Each session includes review, practice, and application, ensuring knowledge is reinforced and retained. Ultimately, my methodology aims not only to help students achieve fluency and accuracy, but also to develop curiosity, independence, and a genuine enjoyment of language learning.
