Sergio

I am a Spanish native speaker from Chile, with a Graduate Certificate in Spanish Language Teaching to Adults (GCSLTA) from The University of Roehampton of London and Instituto Cervantes of Spain. I also hold a PHD degree in Spanish American Literature and BAs in Journalism and Sociology.
For 20 years I have been a consultant for the United Nations in countries such as Paraguay, Bolivia, Ecuador and Chile and as a journalist I have worked for several media in Latin America and Spain. I am familiar with most of the communication forms or speeches used in the different regions of Spain and Spanish America
Several of my books have been published Removed

Tutoring Experience

I have extensive experience teaching Spanish, both in groups and in One-to-One lessons in the UK, U.S.A. and in China. I use videos, photos, and even cartoons to make sure every class is not simply a language class, but rather a complete culture class, offering a view into the literature, history and the everyday life of Spanish America and Spain.

Tutoring Approach

I believe tutoring must be adapted to what each specific person requires. Someone who is going on a trip and wants to learn a few basic things to get by has very different needs to those of a high-level professional who plans to work in a Spanish-speaking country, in which case the learner needs to develop Spanish language skills in a variety of areas, from professional requirements, to day-to-day life, administrative tasks, and others.
Once familiar with the needs of the student, together we can make a bespoke plan to satisfy your requirements.
The subject matters covered during my lessons depend essentially on your goals. Lessons will be fully focussed on your needs and on your desired objectives. I am happy to teach the Spanish language at any level, age group or level of proficiency.
