▪️ My schedule also works on demand. You can request a specific date and time and I'll try to open that slot for you. No compromises! Just ask.
▪️ I love working with the language of my students' specific fields. I learn a lot every time. Let's all remember nobody is ever finished learning, and all of us can learn from each other. Yes, even teachers.
▪️ I'm finishing my 🌐 translation degree at FaHCE, UNLP (La Plata, Argentina). I'm most interested in legal translation and translation in the social sciences and humanities.
▪️ I love music, dancing, traveling, and meeting new people.Me as a Teacher
▪️ I have 👨🏽🏫 English and Spanish teaching diplomas. https://shorturl.at/suHuu.
▪️ I can teach both kids 👧🏽 and adults 🧔🏻, beginners and advanced students, both in-place and online.
▪️ "Educate" means pretty much "to take or guide someone OUT and FURTHER." Think of education as an infinite field 🛣. An educator's role is to get you going towards that endless horizon: that is, to set you in motion. You can always keep moving: you can always learn more. This implies that my role is basically finding a way to keep you going. Also, education is about becoming MORE CAPABLE AND INDEPENDENT every time. In other words, my job ends where your autonomy begins. ❤️My lessons & teaching style
▪️ All my lessons have a basic structure:
1) Intro.
2) Content.
3) Conclusion.
See my lesson descriptions for more details!

TranslatorI am a freelance translator. I have translated mostly legal texts (birth, death, and marriage certificates, divorce judgments, contracts, education documents and diplomas, etc.), technical and scientific texts (in hard sciences, social sciences, and the humanities), and some literary texts (from different authors from English-speaking countries). Legal translation is my top specialty.

Tomás is a very good teacher. He is intelligent, kind, and encouraging. I like his willingness to help me improve within the structure of discussing topics that interest me, and I like his way of correcting the things I write. My Spanish is improving from working with him. It’s satisfying to get results from fun lessons which I always look forward to. His fluency in English is useful as well. I’d suggest working with Tomás on Spanish or English to anyone, but I can especially recommend his Spanish lessons to native English speakers.

Tomas is a nice and considerate teacher. The enjoyment of taking his classes goes beyond language learing and what impresses me more is his insightful opinions on multiple deep topics we discussed, such as education, gender issues, political problems and self-image. It is always fun to exchange ideas with him. Thanks Tomas ans all the best.

Tomás was very polite and friendly. He seemed to adapt himself to my level, giving me enough time to think and express my opinions, while still giving me relevant feedback when it came to vocabulary or more natural ways of expressing myself.
