Me as a Teacher
FLUENCY COMES WITH FRIENDSHIP.
I think grammar and vocabulary are important, but more important is to understand how the complexity of real life works.
I will keep it easy only for beginners, but more advanced students will see how I actually speak with my friends.
My lessons & teaching style
I don't focus on right and wrong answers. I rather explain how we feel and what we think depending on the way an idea is expressed.

I have taken a lot of Spanish in my life - most of which I have forgotten. Federico is kind, extremely patient and a pleasure to learn with. I don't feel like he judges me if I don't know or can't remember something. Instead he is very supportive. He has also adapted his teaching style to meet my needs. I look forward to learning with Federico for the foreseeable future!

I had a terrific lesson with Federico. He's very prepared and I like his teaching method. He's clear in both Spanish and English, and he's very willing to explain the nuances of the Spanish language. I'm definitely going to take another class with him.

Today marks my first full hour lesson and the launch towards my 2025 goal of achieving fluency in Spanish. Federico was super helpful and allowed me to talk as much as I could - and helped me when I got stuck. I asked questions about his city - weather, altitude, the coldest, wettest, warmest. He allowed me to drift - but towards the end we focused on the words I immediately recognized and new words in Unit 1 the book we are using to structure our lessons. He switched to English when he wanted me to fully understand. I encountered a Mexican family in the shopping mall today - and I had to courage to talk with them and gave them directions. We can do this!

Today was my trial lesson with Federico - and I thoroughly enjoyed my lesson with him. My Spanish is really rough… the last time I had an actual lesson in Spanish was over 40 years ago. I was surprised at how many words I could recall. Federico gently corrected me when my syntax was wrong. And gave me the words I didn’t know. I found his diction to be very clear - and I could understand him very well. I left the session energized and purchased some great Spanish text books to aid in my studies. I would recommend Federico without hesitation.
