About Me

italki teacher since Mar 10, 2014

Hola, ¿qué tal? Mi nombre es Carlos, ¿y tú? I come from a small country in Central America known for the beauty of its nature: Costa Rica. I am a native Spanish speaker, I hold a Degree in Spanish Language and Literature as well as three accreditations as a DELE Examiner (Certificate of Spanish as a Foreign Language), I also have a long experience of more than 10 years in teaching Spanish to adults, teenagers, elderly people and children from different cultural and linguistic backgrounds, both in a traditional environment as well as with new virtual distance learning methods.

Me as a Teacher

Is it time for you to learn a new language or improve your level? Whether one or another, go take a look at the options to start or continue learning Spanish. Find the most convenient lesson for you, personally designed. Every lesson is different and dynamic because I work on several levels of language learning. Learning Spanish with me means an effective and educational approach to the Spanish language, it is also an encouragement to learn from the very beginning to the most advanced level. All the lessons'supports are carefully designed and prepared for each student in order to arouse interest in the content so that learning takes place smoothly, without not even realising it.

My lessons & teaching style

My didactic method is based on the communicative approach known as linguistic immersion . This means that the courses are taught entirely in Spanish even for the complete beginner. During each lesson, the grammar will be approached in an active and pleasant way. Subsequently, the student will apply the knowledge learned through conversations related to different subjects from daily life. In order to ensure continuity of learning, the student will receive homework to be done at the end of each lesson. My lessons are dynamic, with a lot of diverse resources and always in a laid-back mood to make you feel comfortable.
