✔ Speak Spanish with confidence, fluency, and accuracy! I’m a Certified Teacher, Systems Engineer, and a native Spanish speaker, with whom you can improve and develop your Spanish/English skills with productive and interesting sessions tailored to your needs.
With me, you can study all the aspects of the Spanish/English language (grammar, lexis, phonetics, functions, language skills) or you can practice your spoken Spanish/English. For conversational sessions, I offer a wide variety of subjects, all of them well structured.
As a teacher, I love to teach in a structured way, step by step, and with clear aims. As a System Engineer, I love programming, networks, cybersecurity, and more.

Me as a Teacher
As a certified teacher for teaching, I have experience in language and background to language learning and teaching. I also have experience and knowledge about lesson planning and the use of resources for language teaching.
I've been teaching in classrooms for years, and I know that there are many learning styles that the learners can have, that's why I adapt my teaching to the characteristics of the learner's learning styles.
Spanish and English learners of all levels are welcome.
My lessons & teaching style
I have many courses (Spanish/English) and two main groups:
1. "STEP BY STEP" COURSES (From newbies to advanced): In these courses, each lesson contains a dialogue (audio file), vocabulary, grammar point, writing activity, speaking activity, exercises, and a complimentary activity (homework).
2. "LET'S SPEAK NOW" COURSES: Conversational sessions with structured topics for talking. Each lesson includes an introductory video, a specific questionary related to the subject, and illustrative images.

Walter's lessons are well thought out and very comprehensive and he is the best teacher that I have had the privilege of working with. Each lesson involves a component of listening to native Spanish speakers via a mp3 file that he sends to you before the lesson, homework that is corrected during the lesson, writing and speaking. He is also fluent in English if you get stuck and require more information than your Spanish level will allow. I highly recommend him.

Walter is the best! He is extremely prepared with topics and questions that push me beyond my comfort zone in Spanish so that I learn new things. His fluency in English means that he can immediately help me translate any vocabulary I am unfamiliar with and give me multiple ways to convey my message. He is super supportive and helpful-- I am learning a lot!

Great lesson! Walter is very helpful and adjusts to your needs. I am very hesitant at speaking, but he creates a very nice and friendly atmosphere and encourages you to try to speak more and more!
