About Me
italki teacher since Aug 4, 2021
I’m Alex: I’m a twenty five years Venezuelan-Ecuadorean chess player, fiction writer and a passionate language teacher. My students say I have a real knack for making learning fun. I love hearing that!
I’ve been writing stories since I was nine and my fiction has been published in two literary journals. I’ve played chess competitively since I was fourteen, and have years of experience teaching Spanish through chess.
But really, it’s not really about me: I can develop a teaching plan around whatever YOU are passionate about. Spanish through Chess? Yes! Spanish through short stories? ¡Sí! Spanish through Pokemon? I’ve done that too!
Me as a Teacher
I've taught at severel levels: from children to teens and adult. So I can use different skills and adjust them to the student level. I drop students, even beginners, right into situations where they need to use the language to solve a communicational problem: for example, how to cope up with a work interview.
It’s fun because it’s useful, right from the start.
My lessons & teaching style
First, when it comes to children (beginners) I focus on vocabulary and grammar, I like to repeat a lot, that's why I consider myself as a very patient tutor. I also got a suscriptions on a few apps designed in order to have a very and funny learning for children.
In the case of teens and adults, (beginners) I go over grammar and start from a very important question to begin with, ¿qué hora es? (what time is it?); from that I guide the student through the path that makes them talk about their daily life and people's routine.
When it comes to very advanced students, I focus mainly on conversation and listening: we choose any topic and talk about it as well as using podcast and transcription.

I appreciate Alexandro's methodology and organization. Each portion of the lesson tests different parts of my learning from brushing up on vocab to being able to communicate and describe things I see.

Alexandro's lessons are very organized, personalized, and informational. He incorporates a review of previous concepts while introducing new concepts throughout the lessons. I feel at ease while communicating in Spanish to Alexandro and highly recommend him as an instructor!

Alexandro is by far the best organized Spanish teacher I've worked with on italki (and I've worked with a few). He always has activities planned and things to say to jump start the conversation. He's also great about working in grammar and vocabulary naturally into the conversation. He has been such a valuable asset in my Spanish learning. I would recommend him to anyone.
