Thema von InteresseSpieleEssenGeschichte
I'm a Colombian guy who started working as a journalist but now is trying to chase his dreams by sharing knowledge with other people. I love foreign languages: I speak Spanish (native), English, Japanese, and I know few things about Chinese and Italian. I enjoy playing RTS videogames and sharing memes with everyone.
I'm 25 years old, and I live with my brother and my cat. I hope you enjoy the lessons as much as I do!
Ich als Lehrkraft
I love being helpful. If a topic is not clear, I will explain as many times as my students need because the students are the most important element of a language learning class. If you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask.
I always try to promote self-confidence in students. Any person can learn foreign languages, but sometimes people don't believe in their own communication skills and become shy to talk to a native speaker. Breaking that wall is the only way to successfully learn languages, so my lessons are always a space where students can improve in their language-related self-confidence.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
I like to go beyond grammar and help students to become skillful Spanish speakers in real situations.
I try to teach vocabulary as much as I can, and I try to get them used to some idioms and slang because that's how real native speakers talk. I always explain why we prefer some expressions over others, and I try to answer any questions students have. My master's degree thesis focuses on non-verbal communication, so I usually approach gestures aswell.
I like to have conversations with my students about any topic they feel comfortable with and I use Audio files with conversations between native Spanish speakers.

Telecollaboration Volunteer Warwick University - Pontificia Universidad Javeriana - 2021I was part of Pontificia Universidad Javeriana's (Bogotá, Colombia) Telecollaboration Program. I helped a group of B2 level students of Spanish of Warwick University (UK), so they could work on their final projects.
I just had my first lesson with Sergio and I have to say that I was impressed by how well structured and entertaining the class was. Sergio adjusted the class to my needs, but also made the session very fun, engaging and informative with slides, exercises, lighthearted conversation and a very cool cultural aspect too, in which he used songs and explained how different speakers of Spanish would say something! I would recommend to any one thinking of getting a teacher to book with Sergio. I look forward to the following lessons. Muchas gracias Sergio!

He is friendly and positive. He is involved in producing his own quality content. From what I have seen in one class together, it's interactive, complete and fun. He has lots of merit for spending time on that because it can be lots of extra value for his students. Thank you Sergio!

My first lesson with Sergio went great! He was very patient and he explained everything very well. He focused on the very basic pronunciation that I struggled with. Looking forward to future classes!

Another great lesson where Sergio had prepared materials to talk about tourism in Colombia, particularly in Medellin. Conversations are always really interesting and engaging. ¡Muchas gracias, Sergio!

Had an interesting discussion about lots of different topics like the institution of marriage and gendered family roles. Sergio would always write clear explanations whenever I made any errors, which was very helpful.

I learnt a lot today about some of Colombia's recent history around guerillas and paramilitary groups. I appreciate the fact that Sergio is happy to talk candidly about these issues, which really helps me to understand more about the country. ¡Muchas gracias, Sergio!
