Me as a Teacher
My Spanish lessons have CLEAR goals, unlike most iTalki lessons. Most students continue with a teacher until they get bored or realize they are not improving fast enough, and then they move on and repeat the process again with a new teacher. Then, 2 years later, they wonder why their Spanish hasn’t improved much. Does that sound like you? I'm NOT about having fun.
My lessons & teaching style
My focus is all about speaking now, learning easily and effortlessly like a native based on research on how the brain really really learns. Long-term memory retention is my specialty. In the first session my students retain 33% more + Speak Spanish like a native from day 1 with my methods and presentation

Carlos is a practical teacher who works with examples of your daily life to create an association between what you are learning and your native language. He both challenges and supports you through your learning session. I am learning a lot and having fun at the same time.

Carlos continues to build on previous lessons, making each lesson more difficult and using visual aids to help each point stick in your long term memory. When I first signed up, I expected to just talk to someone each lesson and learn a few things. But Carlos has exceeded my expectations, providing organized lessons that continually build on each other.

Gracias Carlos! A cualquien que esté leyendo este repaso: Le recomiendo que tome clases con Carlos. Él tiene un entendimiento muy bueno de muchos idiomas, y por eso, puede explicar conceptos gramaticales en su idioma materna.

Wow... 46 lessons! Carlos is an intelligent, interesting, and thoughtful conversation partner who is adept at describing complex ideas in multiple ways. This allows us to keep our conversations almost entirely in Spanish. We work off of a shared Google Doc during our sessions where he takes note of new vocabulary and drills me on grammar--these notes make a great study tool! He also make frequent use of screen sharing to give meaning to new or complex ideas.
I have found our weekly sessions to be of great value, and I look forward to them every time. ¡Gracias, Carlos! ¡Nos vemos pronto!
