About Me

I am Néstor, a Spanish teacher with a broad academic and artistic background. I studied Social Anthropology at the National School of Anthropology and History in Mexico and Classical Guitar at the National Conservatory of Music. Since the late 1990s, I have combined my passion for education, culture, and music in various roles.

In Belgium, I have built an extensive career as a Spanish teacher in both secondary and adult education (CVOs, athenea, municipal lyceums, and private schools). I have taught at KA Merksem, Lyceum Waterbaan (Antwerp), CVO Pro Aalst, and Sint-Jozefinstituut, among others. My teaching approach is communicative and cultural: I strive to ensure that language learning is always connected to the rich diversity of the Spanish-speaking world.

I also continue to pursue professional development in the didactics of Spanish as a foreign language (ELE), including training at UNED (Spain), KU Leuven, Ghent University, and the University of Antwerp. My main interests lie in innovative teaching methods, digital tools, and the creative integration of music and culture into language education.

As an anthropologist and musician, I have also worked as a museum guide (MAS, Vleeshuis, Antwerp) and as an organizer of cultural projects centered on Mexican and Latin American traditions. My broad knowledge of languages (Spanish, Dutch, English, French, Portuguese, Italian, German, and Nahuatl) and my international background make me a versatile teacher and a builder of bridges.

Hola! Soy Maria, I am Spanish from one of the most beautiful cities in the world (Seville) and an experienced Spanish teacher (over 10 years) with a Masters Degree in History. At the end of the course you can manage in simple situations. You can use the present tense without much effort, both orally and in writing. You understand simple texts and understand Spanish-speaking people when they speak slowly and clearly. You also acquire a basic understanding of Spanish culture and society.
Vamos!

Do you want to start/continue learning Spanish while enjoying such a beautiful language? Or you just prefer to practice your conversation and reading skills? I'm glad to tell you that you find the adequate person!!

I'm an enthusiastic 25 years old native Spanish from Zaragoza, Spain. I am Environmental Engineer but one of my passions is teaching others the things that I love.
I have experience teaching kids for many years, not only Spanish but other languages like French and English.
Additionally, since high-school I have been teaching and helping immigrants in Spain to learn the language and the culture. For that reason, I have experience both with adults and kids!

Now that I'm new in Antwerp, I would love to continue my passion. If you are interested do not hesitate to contact me, I'm always ready to chat! :)

Learn Spanish with me at your own rhythm. No matter the age or the level. Improve it in a nice way focusing on your own interests about the language. Let me know if you are going to Spain for specific reasons and we will work on that area.
- Grammar
-Vocabulary
- Reading
- And a lot of Speaking

Over the years I discovered that the best way for children to learn the language is to have some time to play with a native speaker. I will adapt games and dynamics to learn in a funny way.

For musicians going to Spain to study, I can offer lessons where you can learn the specialized musical terms, and how to get on an orchestra or band rehearsal.

I have been a Spanish tutor for almost three years. I am a language lover and enjoy learning and teaching languages. Living in a world where we are exposed to so many learning tools, such as books, online platforms or courses, I still believe that the best way to learn a new language is to sit and have a chat with a native speaker. Therefore, I give a more practical insight into the Spanish language in my lessons. In other words, I teach you things that a book or a course will not provide you.
I am willing to teach both theory and conversation to any kind of student, whatever your age or level. If you are motivated to learn and improve your Spanish, you are talking to the right teacher!
If you have any further questions about my methodology, do not hesitate to contact me :)
