¡Bienvenido/a!
I'm a Colombian guy who enjoys sharing knowledge with other people. My true passion is teaching, but I haven't done this all my life. I used to be a journalist, and I worked in media, but now I prefer to create content to help people around the world communicate. Spanish is my mother tongue. Also, I speak English (C2), some Japanese (N4), and some French (A2).
Things I love: Video games (RTS specially), history, geopolitics, learning about different cultures, etc.
I'm 28 years old, and I live with my wife and my cat. I hope you enjoy the lessons as much as I do!Me as a Teacher
I love being helpful. If a topic is not clear, I will explain as many times as my students need because the students are the most important element of a language learning class. If you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask.
I always try to promote self-confidence in students. Any person can learn foreign languages, but sometimes people don't believe in their own communication skills and become shy to talk to a native speaker. Breaking that wall is the only way to successfully learn languages, so my lessons are always a space where students can improve their language-related self-confidence.My lessons & teaching style
I like to go beyond grammar and help students to become skillful Spanish speakers in real situations.
I try to teach vocabulary as much as I can, and I try to get them used to some idioms and slang because that's how native speakers talk. I always explain why we prefer some expressions over others, and I try to answer any questions students have. My master's degree thesis focuses on non-verbal communication, so I usually approach gestures as well.
I like to have conversations with my students about any topic they feel comfortable with, and I use Audio files with conversations between native Spanish speakers.My teaching material

I learnt a lot today about some of Colombia's recent history around guerillas and paramilitary groups. I appreciate the fact that Sergio is happy to talk candidly about these issues, which really helps me to understand more about the country. ¡Muchas gracias, Sergio!

Another great lesson where Sergio had prepared materials to talk about tourism in Colombia, particularly in Medellin. Conversations are always really interesting and engaging. ¡Muchas gracias, Sergio!

Sergio is a very good teacher! He is patient, smart, easy-going, and always willing to explain things when you don't understand them. He breaks things down for you and explains the fundamentals so that everything is easy to pick up on. Highly recommend!

Sergio is fantastic. His teaching style is warm and engaging, and I immediately felt more comfortable speaking than I have in a long time. I immediately booked him for 10 more classes.

Had an interesting discussion about lots of different topics like the institution of marriage and gendered family roles. Sergio would always write clear explanations whenever I made any errors, which was very helpful.
