Teaching style

Due to globalization Spanish has become the second most studied language and second language in international communication. He knows to acquire a language, it requires special skills. Therefore, to help students become fluent in a romance language in less time than it would take someone studying with the traditional learning; the teacher likes to be researching, studying and updating his knowledge in teaching languages to provide his students new learning experiences and methods in order to help develop a proficient competence in speaking, listening, reading and writing in Spanish using real material and interactive activities. A key to acquiring a language is understanding the culture of different regions and societies, that’s why he likes to teach the idiomatic expressions in the language that is being taught and the contextual vocabulary meaning and usage in specific regions. His watchword is to “Make his students competitive, to face any language situation in any country where Spanish or English are spoken”.

Hobbies

He loves watching movies, teaching, learning, listening to music, playing guitar, singing, working out and walking his dogs.

"I have been a student with Live Lingua for the past 5 years, learning Spanish and Chinese, but mostly Spanish, because I am in love with the language. Working on a new language is so fun but challenging , but with the private teachers through Livelingua I always look forward to the next class! I can tell them what I want to work on and the type of homework I can benefit more from. I am grateful for the journey I have been on these past years, as I have learned a great deal. One take away I want to share to current students, don't give up! Keep practicing with natives and challenge yourself in different ways to keep yourself motivated. Success comes from a motivation from within you.. and your teachers are there to cheer you on!" Ruth C. - Unknown

"I found Live Lingua via google search. I was looking for an immersive way to practice speaking Spanish. Live Lingua instructors quickly access your language level and provide a custom learning plan. I can set my own schedule and find instructors available at any time of day. I’ve been using live lingua for almost 6 months and I am quickly mastering the language. I would highly recommend Live Lingua." Lenee L. - Unknown
