About Me
italki teacher since Aug 19, 2021Interest topicEnvironment & NatureSports & FitnessTechMedical & HealthcareScience
I have grown to become a calm, patient and friendly person who loves to meet new people around the world. I have been practicing sports since I was a kid, I love squash and fitness life. Sports has tought me discipline, and I use it to other aspects of my life, such as, studying, teaching, working out and trying to give my best everytime. Some of my hobbies are hiking, videogames, watching shows and sharing with friends. I have a degree in electronics engineering, I like programming and robotics.Me as a Teacher
I am naturally encouraging and supportive through my style of teaching. I am the number one fan about personalized classes like in italki, because through this, the teacher and the student can relate each other deeper, I can create a friendly space where points of interest are found, and so the shyness breaks to increase the confidence and make the classes a comfortable environment full of learning and fun. I have been teaching spanish in other online platforms during almost a year, I love the experience to share with other people about our cultures, where we can find very interesting things that can open our minds to new possibilities.My lessons & teaching style
My teaching style is based in natural conversation, I like to take the students to realistic circumstances where they have to communicate by themselves. If you don’t like grammar a lot, that is not a problem, we can go through a structured program where you can practice interesting repetitive expressions used during natural conversations. But if you want grammar, we also can go through it. I am flexible, I can adapt to your learning style, independently if you are a theory, visual, pragmatic or funny learner, I’m here to fit into your needs. During our conversations I will give you feedbacks and I will be focusing in your pronunciation, fluency and well-constructed sentences. Contact me!My teaching material

Joan is the best Spanish teacher on italki! My daughter and I tried a few teachers but narrowed it down to only using Joan. Since just strictly doing lessons with Joan in a few short months we are able to carry on lengthy conversations in Spanish, not just your average “Hi, nice to meet you” stuff. We had a bathroom renovation that took awhile and I was able to speak with a worker daily who only spoke Spanish. I really can’t recommend Joan enough. He is patient, kind, helpful, and motivating. Each class is filled with great content, with a lot of talking in Spanish and kind corrections. If you are serious about learning Spanish then you really need to do classes with Joan.

I always enjoy my lessons with Joan. He is fun, relaxed, and we talk about everything - music, culture, sports, politics, the weather, etc. And he will correct grammatical errors with precision and examples, but always in a gentle way. Plus he tailors the class to the student. Muchas gracias, Joan, por las clases agradables y útiles.

Joan is a very good teacher. He gives a lot of good corrections, he has good exercises, he's smart and good at finding ways to help make progress. I always feel like I'm learning a lot. And he's super chill and easy to talk to.
