About Me
italki teacher since Oct 10, 2019Interest topicReadingEnvironment & NatureFoodTravelSports & Fitness
¡Hola! My name is Rubén. I am Spanish teacher and, also, a DELE examiner (from A1 to C2 levels). I was born in Madrid, the place where I live now. I'm here to help you become a confident Spanish speaker. To get to know me, among my hobbies are reading, listening to music, going to concerts and playing some sports (I love cycling and climbing), but, mainly, one of my hobbies I like most is traveling. I am lucky because I have traveled to all Spain and other countries around the world.
As a teacher, I am very patient, dedicated, and passionate. I am very empathetic and I love to get through to my students, because a good communication could influence in your language improvement.Me as a Teacher
I studied Spanish philology and I have a master's degree in Spanish teaching as a second language, therefore I’m a professionally qualified Spanish teacher and I have the knowledge of the Spanish language. I'm also a DELE examiner (A1-C2). Moreover, I know the Curriculum Plan of the Instituto Cervantes, so I can know your level of Spanish and establish your main goals according to your level. Among my experience, I gave Spanish classes to different kind of students, even for specific purposes (for university or particular jobs) and from different levels (from beginners A1 to advanced C2). If you would like either to learn or improve Spanish, do not hesitate to write me a message.My lessons & teaching style
The lessons are offered with maximum adaptablity to each student's individual requirements and goals. I try to use a communicative and a task-based approach. So my methodology is about social skills in language learning. I like that my students talk in class and therefore you can learn new vocabulary and grammatical skills based on our conversations, and I also provide some material to my students. If you are learning Spanish because you like our culture or you either need it to pass an official exam or because it is a requirement in your work, I will help you to reach your goals.My teaching material

Rubén is a very relaxed teacher. Gives a lot of info to think about and answers your doubts and questions. Speaks Spanish to you so you will understand faster, better and get used to the language.

Rubén has been my teacher for two months now and I couldn’t recommend him enough. He is always prepared, patient, encouraging, positive, and attentive to my needs; when I’ve asked to hone in on a particular rule/structure, he has come back prepared. Both my skill and confidence as a Spanish speaker is growing and Rubén has a lot to do with that. I love our lessons!

I had a great first lesson with Rubén. He knows how to keep the student talking and also has experience teaching foreigners. I'm looking forward to the next lesson.
