About Me

Languages have always been my passion. They’re the key to culture, relationships and ways of thinking! They’re the world only words can ever show us. I’ve always tried to combine that passion with my passion for teaching! And thankfully my fluency in multiple languages and curiosity to always learn more tend to help a lot in that regard!! :)

To know a language is to be able to speak it. Too often, we do not learn vocabulary lists and grammar rules, without being able to utter a single word. This does not interest me!
My goal when I learn a language is to speak it, to communicate, to be able to fend for myself without the aid of a translator, and to learn through the language the mysteries of culture.
When I exercise my role as a teacher, I always have these same goals in mind. I therefore base my courses in a communicative approach that aims to be able to talk and share since the first class. For this I use role plays, scenarios, dialogues and other exercises related to the reality of the learner.

Foreign languages play a central role in our life. "Language is a people's card of nobility" (Vasile Alecsandri). It is the heritage of a nation, of a country with its spiritual values, its people, its national heritage. I will help you improve your oral and written communication in foreign languages to help you in your exchanges abroad, to discover new horizons towards the unknown, to immerse yourself in a new culture, to make you discover a new way of thought and to promote your openness to others. My classes are adapted to the needs and interests of the student.

I offer personalized Spanish lessons for children, teenagers and adults, from beginner to advanced level.

Spanish is my native language and I am a teacher with over 15 years of teaching experience.

My method is dynamic, practical and tailored to each student's objectives. We can work on conversation, comprehension, vocabulary, grammar and oral and written expression, always in a concrete and motivating context.

With children, I favour a particularly playful and creative approach through games, songs, rhythm, stories and various activities adapted to their age.

With teenagers and adults, lessons can be geared towards conversation, academic support, improving general level or simply the desire to communicate more fluently in Spanish.

My goal is for each student to progress at their own pace, gain confidence, and use Spanish in a natural and lively way.

Why does learning a foreign language seem so difficult?

Often, it's not a question of talent, but of method. With concrete support tailored to your goals, speaking with ease and confidence becomes possible, and faster than you think.

My name is Rubén and I have two years of experience in private tutoring, during which I helped each student achieve specific goals. I have taught English to a child and helped a German student pass his Spanish exams, in addition to numerous other tutoring activities in Spain.

I have studied and worked in all the languages I speak and teach: Spanish, my native language, English at C1 level, German at B2 level and French at B2 level. I therefore know from the inside the difficulties one encounters when learning a language, and the tips for overcoming them.

I was able to put my method to the test both in exams and in the professional world, combining daily oral practice with preparation for official certifications.
