El profe Miguel

I have been working with prof Miguel for almost a year. He is my favourite teacher out of the various ones I have used on italki. Miguel is attentive throughout the lesson and is also incredibly thoughtful about his lesson plans. For example, today in class he themed the class around my dogs who he knows I am obsessed with and will be so engaged with the lesson. The actual lesson plan and homework reflected this theme which is so thoughtful. I think Miguel is an incredible teacher and I feel very lucky to have found him.

Miguel is very fun to work with, he is reliable and extremely knowledgeable as a Spanish professor! We have great conversations and I have learned to speak (conversationally) much better in just 3 short months. I look forward to continuing the lessons and becoming a completely fluent Spanish speaker, thanks to his support and excellent teaching!

Siempre es un placer hablar con Miguel. Antes de cada clase, propone un texto para la discussion. Aun así, es receptivo a hablar de otros temas que pueden interesar.

Ya he completado alrededor de 10 clases de conversación con Miguel. Para cada clase Miguel envía material (podría un cuento o artículo) relacionado con el tema de la próxima clase, que proporciona un buen punto de partida para la conversación y también está desarrollando mi comprensión lectora. Miguel es flexible y siempre está dispuesto a usar parte del tiempo para ayudarme con cualquier pregunta o dificultad específica que tenga con la gramática. Miguel encuentra un buen equilibrio de corregir mis errores sin interrumpir el flujo de la conversación. Creo que mi fluidez conversacional ha mejorado desde que comencé las clases con Miguel. Me siento más confiado y menos preocupado por cometer errores. ¡Sin duda, recomiendo tomar las clases con Miguel!

I was really drawn to the patient nature and vibe. This professor made me want to try to speak with the limited words I had instead of being embarrassed that I was learning something new.

Very patient and kind. Before the lesson I never had the courage to try to speak with anyone but Miguel put me at ease and helped me to begin! I am looking forward to future lessons.
