About Me
italki teacher since Sep 29, 2021Interest topicSports & FitnessMusicScience
I have acquired an American accent, a Cambridge C2 certificate (with a perfect score in the Use of English section) following a method I created myself, out of frustration becuase no one seemed to teach in a way that suited me. I barely learned English in highschool and the lessons were dull and boring.
I have always learned things my own way, I try to innovate and perfect whatever it is I like to do, that's why instead of going to the gym and lift I learned calisthenics and parkour, I taught myself how to play the guitar and the piano and that's exactly how I dealt with my university degree as well, which is environmental sciences.Me as a Teacher
I am a highly sophisticated English teacher that specializes in accent reduction and acquisition, specificially I teach the Californian accent. I make a point to make my lessons fun and interesting, because except for the first few lessons where I talk about sounds, learning does not need to be boring.
Sometimes I dabble in teaching Spanish, just because my method works well for other languagesMy lessons & teaching style
I teach English (and Spanish) in very different ways than what most people are used to. I have perfected the process and I think the future of language learning will be more like my method than the conventional method of using boring books, not caring about pronunciation or accents and using vocabulary lists.
My method will get you to learn the skill, you will know how to use English correctly. I will not force you to study the language itself though, you are not a linguist, you just need to use it correctly, like a native speaker does, like a baby learns itMy teaching material

Alfonso has an amazing hearing which allows him to recognize every piece of my pronunciation that I could improve. He always prepares activities in advance mainly focused on accent reduction (but not only) so we don't waste any time during the class. His classes are intense, efficient and totally worth every second. I always feel he's doing his best to help me. After several classes I've already noticed that my English improved significantly, not only I'm more fluent but I also understand better.

Alfonso's teaching style is not only effective but also engaging and fun. I've seen significant improvement in my pronunciation and overall language skills since I started taking lessons with them. His patience and dedication to helping me succeed have been truly remarkable. I highly recommend contacting Alfonso to anyone looking to enhance their English proficiency.
