Über mich
italki-Lehrkraft seit 24. Jul 2020
I am a native Spanish speaker who studies Social Sciences and I am always intersted in learning new things. I love talking with people from other cultures in order to understand more about our world. Italki has helped me a lot in my learning of English, which I practice everyday, and I look forward to using this passion for language to help others to reach their goals of learning Spanish!
Ich als Lehrkraft
I have experience teaching Spanish for English speakers. I have teached Spanish to people who have emigrated to Uruguay to find jobs in the growing software industry. In a short amount of time, I have had great results helping them to incorporate the language into their daily lives and become more comfortable speaking and conversing.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
I adapt my teacing style to accomodate the needs of each student. I am self taught and I think it is an important quality to instill in my students, so that they can eventually develop the ability to study the language and improve on their own, but more importantly so they feel encouraged to speak more. The first thing I do is ask to my students what they want to learn, what are their goals, and what are their strenghts and weaknesses. Using this information I create a plan in order to teach the student in a way specific to their improvement.
Muchas gracias! Otra buena conversación. Nos vemos pronto!

I highly recommend! Nelson is a great teacher. I been with him since May 2021 and he has helped me immensely gain confidence in my Spanish skills. I used to be so nervous using Spanish (particularly talking) but Nelson has a disarming and amiable personality; I don't feel stupid or judged when I make mistakes. Also, he is open-minded, flexible and chatty so classes and conversations are never dull. Moreover, he transcribes what is being said in chat so I always have access to new vocabulary, grammar and sentence structures for later. In the words of the man himself “Nos vemos en la clase próxima.”

Nelson was a great help in my attempt to translate a text into reasonable Spanish--He was resourceful even though this task was unplanned --he came up with lots of very useful vocabulary and grammar lessons from this text --he is adaptable and versatile and spontaneous, all of which qualities I look for in a teacher--I am so happy!
