About the tutor

Hello there! My name is Diego. Originally from Bogotá, Colombia, I have been teaching Spanish for five years, and I've recently decided to take my expertise online. I talk fluently 5 languages and I am learning 4 more. I am really organized, love schedules and puntuality.


I am interested in travelling, knowing and experiencing cultures from its languages, history and architecture, and its from there that I focus my classes. My lessons include grammar explanation, songs, videos and a lot of talking.


Since I was a child, I have been deeply passionate about languages. It all started with English, as I spent countless hours watching movies, reading, and listening to music in English. I would constantly ask my school teachers for help with vocabulary and grammar, and by the age of 15, I had developed my own learning methodology that allowed me to surpass even my English school teacher in terms of knowledge.


As I continued to learn more languages, the process became easier and more enjoyable. In college, I took on the role of teaching English to students in my neighborhood as a part-time job. I quickly discovered how incredibly fun and rewarding teaching can be, and I've been teaching ever since.


I have obtained several language certifications, including TOEFL (English), CELPE-BRAS (Portuguese), IELTS (English), and Zertifikat Deutsch (German). These certifications validate my proficiency and understanding of the languages I teach.


My teaching methodology revolves around creating a supportive and interactive environment where speaking, asking questions, and learning from mistakes are highly encouraged. I utilize interactive platforms and English for foreigner e-books that provide real-time feedback, ensuring that my students understand correct and incorrect answers. Additionally, I incorporate music lyrics, TV series, documentaries, articles, magazines, and movies into my lessons to make learning engaging and culturally immersive.


I am truly dedicated to helping my students achieve their language goals while making the learning process enjoyable and effective. I look forward to guiding you on your Spanish language journey and exploring the rich cultures that come with it.


Don't hesitate to reach out to me, and let's embark on this exciting language learning adventure together!
