About Me

Llevo más de 20 años enseñando, y sigo haciéndolo por la misma razón que empecé: me encanta ver el momento en que un estudiante deja de traducir mentalmente y empieza a pensar en el idioma nuevo. Ese cambio es lo que más disfruto de mi trabajo.
Soy profesor certificado en TEFL (Universidad de Toronto) para inglés, y en ELE/SFL — Español como Lengua Extranjera (Universidad Europea Miguel de Cervantes) para español. Además, trabajo como traductor e intérprete español-inglés desde hace más de 25 años, así que conozco de primera mano los errores típicos, los "falsos amigos" y esos matices que los libros de texto casi nunca explican bien.
Mi estilo de enseñanza es cercano y paciente. Vengo de años trabajando con estudiantes de todas las edades y niveles, así que sé adaptar el ritmo: si estás empezando de cero, construimos las bases sin presión; si ya tienes fluidez, trabajamos precisión, pronunciación y esos detalles que marcan la diferencia entre "hablar bien" y "hablar como nativo".
También tengo formación en aprendizaje socioemocional (SEL), algo que aplico en cada clase: para mí, aprender un idioma funciona mejor cuando te sientes cómodo para equivocarte y seguir intentando. No hay clases genéricas — cada plan se adapta a tus objetivos, ya sea viajar, trabajar, presentar un examen, o simplemente perder el miedo a hablar.

Spanish for Professionals: Real Conversations, Real Confidence

28 C$ /h

I'm a native Spanish speaker and certified Specialist in Spanish as a Foreign Language (SFL), with over 20 years of teaching experience in both Colombia and the United States. This course is designed specifically for professionals who need to communicate confidently in Spanish at work — meetings, emails, presentations, and everyday conversations with colleagues or clients.

This isn't a generic grammar course. I combine my background as an educator with my technical experience (IT consultant, certified translator) to teach you the Spanish you'll actually use — industry-specific vocabulary, natural expressions, and the confidence to participate in real conversations, not just memorize rules.

Every class is tailored to your level and your goals. Whether you work in tech, healthcare, business, or any professional field, you'll learn Spanish applied to your day-to-day — clear, practical, and focused on what you actually need.

University English Instructor| Started teaching English 9 years ago| Specializing in Conversational English.

My teaching approach is designed to develop communication skills above all. We watch or read materials, such as videos, articles, stories, poems, caricatures, then discuss them; we act out situations from everyday life; we take positions and practice debates. However, this doesn’t mean that we just practice speaking. I also make sure the learner is not running in circles. I’m here to ensure that they do not keep repeating the same mistakes or keep using the same expressions over and over in conversation.
In order to keep making progress, I take my student on a journey that involves:
• Improving their grammar.
• Fixing their pronunciation.
• Enriching their vocabulary by learning to use new words and common idioms.
By the end of this course, you should be able to speak English fluently and confidently.

PS: Because of my academic specialty, I also help with academic writing and creative writing.

As an English Language Teacher specializing in young learners and beginner English speakers, I create a fun, supportive, and meaningful learning environment where children feel comfortable and motivated to learn. My teaching approach focuses on building confidence in speaking, listening, reading, and writing English through interactive activities, games, songs, storytelling, and engaging lessons.

I believe that children learn best when they enjoy the process, so my classroom is designed to be encouraging and pressure-free. Rather than feeling afraid of making mistakes, students are guided to explore the language naturally and develop their communication skills at their own pace.

My goal is to help every child become a confident English speaker by fostering curiosity, creativity, and a love for learning. Through positive reinforcement and student-centered activities, learners gain the skills and confidence they need to understand, speak, read, and write English effectively.

Teaching Philosophy:
"Learning English should be enjoyable, meaningful, and confidence-building. When children feel happy and supported, they become successful language learners."
