Pablo Ibáñez

Pablo is an expert on theory, both in languages and music. I learned so much on how to improve my Spanish to sound more natural and also enjoy Spanish culture through the art of Flamenco. ¡Muchas gracias de nuevo!

Pablo's classes are always fun, and can be structured or unstructured depending on your needs. I am at a fairly advanced level, and he has a deep fund of knowledge of grammar and syntax and of linguistics in general. So much of the time is conversational, but when I am taking a deep-dive into grammar he is able to provide all sorts of relevant materials that are useful and never intimidating. He is a great teacher for any level of student.

I had a great time, telling Pablo about my trip to Spain. In particular, I really love learning about the different accents of Spain! Very interesting.

Pablo is always very well prepared with a variety of resources to fill you in on the thornier aspects of Catalan grammar and pronunciation. He also has a superb knowledge of English which allows him to draw clear and helpful analogies between the two languages, as well as of course to help you find the right word in any situation. Furthermore, he is always friendly and energetic, and makes sure you are an equal participant in the conversation regardless of your current level. I’ve had a good number of lessons with him now and my Catalan has progressed from a couple of words to effective conversational fluency in the span of a few months. He comes highly recommended!

Today Pablo planned to talk about Easter in Spain which was a very interesting topic for me. I'm working to tell him stories in Spanish, and while that's challenging for me, it is very helpful!

Pablo is incredibly focused, dedicated, and organized as a teacher. He is mindful of my particular Spanish needs and incorporates relevant material into our work together. Very present and encouraging!
