About Me
italki teacher since Dec 14, 2021InterestsSports & FitnessTravelArt
Hi there! My name is Jonathan and I am from Colombia. My main interests are inclined towards the humanities, such as art, philosophy, history, among others, although I can say that I like to learn a little about everything. Another of my great passions is sports, especially swimming, cycling, athletics, yoga and crossfit. I like to talk, laugh, dance, learn about different lifestyles, share my knowledge, my culture and enjoy life in harmony with nature. Finally, among my great dreams is to be an excellent teacher, a great writer and to be able to travel and learn deeply about other lifestyles.Me as a Teacher
I have worked as a primary school teacher for the last 5 years and I specialize in language issues (grammar, syntax, comprehension, etc.) literary, philosophical and artistic. I have also taught English and German to young people and adults. In addition, I have participated in some research and creative writing programs with my university and did a diploma in innovation and technology applied to education. Finally, I worked in Germany in a Waldorf Schule, which taught me different methodologies and ways in which the human being is formed physically and spiritually.My lessons & teaching style
I will prepare my classes according to 3 aspects of the student: their level in the language, their interests and their learning pace. With these three courses I will put at your disposal all the necessary didactic materials so that you can have a good time while learning Spanish during classes and in your free time. In addition, I will try to get my students to practice Spanish at the same time that we share and exchange characteristics of our culture, thus building a good friendship between student and teacher that allows better results with each class.My teaching material

Education
2021 - 2021
Bachelor’s - Educación y tecnologíaRealicé un diplomado en Innovación y Tecnología Aplicada a la Educación de manera virtual con la Universidad San Martín, en apoyo con la plataforma EduX y la secretaría de educación de mi ciudad la cual patrocinó dicha certificación
2015 - 2021
Bachelor’s - Literatura y lenguajeActualmente me encuentro en el último semestre de mi pregrado: "Licenciatura en literatura" con la Universidad del Valle. Por esta razón, no cuento con mi diploma de grado, pues estoy en la fase final para obtenerlo. En efecto, adjunto un documento que certifica mi participación en un intercambio estudiantil de investigación junto con la Universidad de México en el último semestre de este año, y así doy evidencia implícitamente de mi actual responsabilidad con mi carrera y mi universidad.
Work Experience
2019 - 2021
DocenteDurante los últimos 3 años he sido profesor de niños desde los 6 hasta los 11 años en áreas como lengua castellana, matemáticas, artística, ética y religión, entre otras. Al mismo tiempo, he sido director de grupo dos veces con el grado primero y una vez con tercero y he sido vocero en diversos proyectos que se ha realizado juntos con directivos y padres de familias.
2018 - 2019
VoluntarioComo voluntario del programa Weltwärts apoyado por el estado alemán, pude trabajar en una escuela llamada Freie Waldorfschule durante doce meses, en los cuales no solo obtuve un enorme conocimiento sobre su pedagogía tan especial, sino también viví el contacto con otras culturas, otros idiomas y otros estilos de vida que alimentaron mi visión de mundo. Además, durante este año profundicé en mis estudios sobre lingüística mientras aprendía alemán y perfeccionaba el inglés.
2020 - 2021
Docente de alemánDespués de regresar de Alemania, continúe mi trabajo como voluntario esta vez desde casa, enseñándole a jóvenes todas las bases necesarias en el idioma alemán y su cultura, con el fin de que ellos pudieran aplicar al mismo programa que a mi me permitió vivir esa maravillosa experiencia. Cabe resaltar que dicho trabajo lo realicé completamente de forma virtual debido al aislamiento por la pandemia del Covid-19.
2020 - 2021
Tutor en lenguaje, matemáticas e inglésDurante el último año he dado refuerzos de lectura-escritura y matemáticas a niños de todas las edades. Además, he sido tutor de inglés a jóvenes y he apoyado a diferentes estudiantes universitarios en temas como redacción de textos (ensayos, reseñas, cuentos, etc.)

Jonathan is a great teacher!! He is so patient and easy to learn from. I love his teaching style, he covers conversational skills and grammar. My family is happy I can finally speak some Spanish to them. Thank you Jonathan!!

I have been taking lessons with Jonathan for quite a bit now. Jonathan has been with me since the beginning of my spanish learning journey and I have kept taking classes because he is good at what he does. Early on he adapted to my preference of learning via Crosstalk and had a great attitude about it even though it was new for him. And now that I've transitioned to focusing on speaking and grammar, he has adapted to that as well. As a teacher; Jonathan is patient, knowledgeable, and good to talk to.

There isn't enough words to describe how helpful Jonathan has been every step of my journey learning Spanish. He always is patient, kind, and keeps things light and fun. I had to stop taking lessons due to time changes in my work schedule and once I was able to find another time again. Without hesitation, he told me I could always schedule classes again. Teachers like Jonathan are the reason I always recommend italki to people.
