About Me
italki teacher since Jan 31, 2020InterestsHistoryArtWritingScienceReading
I am a Spanish professor with over 5 years of experience (I taught Spanish as a foreign language at my university for two yr. I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in Spanish Language and Literature from the National Autonomous University of Mexico. I am a well-known Mexican writer and poet (I have published 3 poetry books in Mexico and Spain), and I am well-versed in the Spanish language. I have taught Spanish and poetry workshops for 5 yr. I have been an editor and translator for an online newspaper. In addition to teaching Spanish, poetry, I like plastic arts, cinema (I love David Lynch films), I like swimming, I like photography and music. I have two beautiful little daughters. I'm vegan.Me as a Teacher
As a dedicated Spanish teacher, I meticulously craft my lessons, focusing on challenging concepts while maintaining a sense of humor when the opportunity arises. I'm unwavering in my commitment to review and reinforce essential topics, ensuring steady progress in mastering the Spanish language. My approach is adaptable, tailoring my guidance to match each student's unique journey. Witnessing their daily growth in this beautiful language fills me with pride, and I'm eager to share my profound love for Spanish with them. Learning should be a joyous adventure, driven by passion for the subject, and a genuine connection to your chosen path.My lessons & teaching style
I seek that the lessons adapt to the objectives of each student. My teaching method focuses on strengthening the four areas of language: reading, writing, listening and conversation, through different tools such as videos, music, books, exercises, and lots of conversation, writing and reading. I focus on grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, conversation in certain circumstances. My classes have a strong literary base, since I am convinced that it is in literature that a language achieves its best expression. In addition, my classes have a strong cultural base, teaching about cultural aspects of Mexico and Latin America (music, food, cities, sports, etc.).My teaching material

Work Experience
2016 - 2021
Associate EditorIn my work as an editor I must be in contact with the Spanish language all the time, I must apply my deep knowledge of the language (grammatical rules) to choose and correct literary texts such as novels and books of poems. So I have enough knowledge of grammar, pronunciation and spelling rules to teach Spanish as a second language.
2015 - 2023
TranslatorIn my work as an English-Spanish translator I must be in contact with the Spanish and English language all the time, I must apply my deep knowledge of the Spanish language (grammatical rules) and my efficient knowledge of English to perform my work correctly. So I am qualified to teach Spanish to native English speakers.
2017 - 2019
Spanish as a foreign language teacherIn my work as a teacher of Spanish as a foreign language in an in-person group I gained the necessary experience to help my students learn Spanish in an organized way. I acquired the ability to teach Spanish for specific purposes, such as Spanish for doctors or lawyers. I helped my students improve their pronunciation and listening comprehension and write better in Spanish.

Raciel is a wonderful teacher! He is patient, understanding, nice, fun, and very encouraging. He has helped me build confidence in my Spanish, especially around speaking. I have learned so much in my almost 6 months of learning and can tell I understand a lot more than during my first month.
Raciel is always prepared for class with individualized lessons and homework. He takes time for you to understand the point being made and helps with correct pronunciation.
I highly recommend him as a teacher and am thankful for all of learning and progress I have made.

I've been working with Raciel for over a year and he's a great teacher. He's patient and supportive, but also challenges me to push through the areas that I get stuck in. We've worked on several aspects of Spanish such as reading, writing, and conversation. He always has great ideas for how to make progress on the areas I want to work on. I highly recommend him!

Raciel es un buen maestro y una persona muy chido. Ya tenemos 6 meses juntos como maestro/estudiante, suficiente tiempo para evaluar su efectividad, especialmente cómo nos reunimos 2 veces cada semana. He mejorado mi capacidad de de hablar, leer, y quizás especialmente, escribir español. Creo que dentro de esos 6 meses me he graduado de nivel B2 a nivel C1 y estoy progresando hacia nivel C2, gracias a Raciel!
