Julio Flores

I have been working with Julio for a couple months now, and I can say, without exaggeration, that this is the most effective spanish learning that I have ever done! I took spanish in school, and even in college. But I have made more progress with my spanish in the last two months than I ever made in school, to the point where I am having conversations and feeling really good about them. But more than this, the style in which Julio teaches is extremely engaging, and I am extremely grateful to have found him as a teacher. Truly can't recommend Julio highly enough! If you're even thinking about taking a class with him, do it!

I would rate Julio's class 10 out of 5 if I can. I had a good trial class with him and today is our first full-hour session. I am so glad that I chose him. Julio is a very engaged teacher and brings interesting topics. For our first class, instead of just talking about common Mexican cuisine that everyone knows, he talked about chiles en nogada and then expanded to immigration and vegetarianism and more. It feels more like a real conversation happening between friends rather than a formal class. Julio only speaks in Spanish in the class (he can speak fluent English), which forces me to practice listening. I prefer his style to those who mix Spanish and English because I know I would fall back to English all the time. If there's something I don't understand, Julio will try different words until I get it. He is also very patient in listening to my talking and teach me how to make it better. I am really looking forward to our next class.

Julio is an amazing tutor! I have been learning with him for over 3 months and he helped me improve my Spanish immensely. Would highly recommend anyone to learn from him!

Blown away! I´ve just had the trial lesson and not only was it really engaging and fun, I feel like I learnt something today :) We had a friendly get-to-know each other conversation and we talked about my learning goals, but I was also "forced" to speak and ask questions in a structured manner during a fun activity which I really appreciate. Julio is a terrific teacher and he feels very approachable and at the same time really professional.

Fantastic first lesson with Julio! He was well prepared and professional, while being super friendly and engaging. I’m an advanced Spanish learner and even in just one lesson, I came away with lots of new words and a renewed motivation to keep learning more

Julio es un maestro muy creativo y entusiasta que puede adaptar sus clases a cualquier tema que le propongas. Disfruto mucho estudiando con él.
