Hello! I'm Rodrigo, I'm from Mexico and I'm currently traveling and teaching Spanish as a Foreign Language. I studied a Master's Degree in ELE (Español como Lengua Extranjera - Spanish as a Foreign Language-) and I have a TESOL/TEFL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages/Teaching English as a Foreign Language) diploma and I have experience teaching both Spanish and English in Mexico, Canada, Japan and Serbia. I can tech one-to-one in every place I am or via online when I'm not currently in one place (I will keep updated this site to tell you where I'm).

About Me
I was a Spanish Teacher as a Foreign Language in Eastern Europe in my last trip there as a freelancer (late 2009, early 2010) and I have experience teaching similar subjects such as Literature in the Cultural Center of my hometown. Also, I was a Teacher Assistant in High School and University level. Currently I teach Spanish as a Foreign Language online and I live in Beppu, Japan.

As an English Teacher I have experience teaching kids (PEACE Punta de Mita), teenagers (PEACE Punta de Mita) and adults (YES Guadalajara).

I have capacities of contextualization, tenacity and I’m very good working in team. My History degree’s education, focused in Didactics, gave me also the tools for teach in a comprehensive way and creating a dialectic between the teacher and the student. I also had courses of Literature and Hispanic Language History so I have the knowledge of the background of the Spanish language, his history and I can discern between the different dialects in Spain and Latin America and draw an analogy between them.

Spanish language is a powerful tool since it is spoken around the world by millions of people. I have been teaching for the past 10 years in America, Europe, Asia, Russia and many other countries. I'm certified by DELE and CELTA along with other certificates.

I am a native Mexican born in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico. Since I was little I have had a lot of curiosity and facility for foreign languages, I have had the opportunity over the last 15 years of my life to travel, study, live and work in different parts of the world... I have been lucky!

The first thing we will do even before starting the course is determine your current level of Spanish, whether you are a beginner, intermediate or advanced. We will get to know each other a little, I will ask you questions like: What do you do? What or why are you interested in learning the Spanish language? Why are you interested in the Latin Mexican accent more than the Spanish or South American accent? What is your goal with the Spanish language? among other questions to decide the best methodology, within my methodology, that adapts to your personal needs, once we are at this specific point... ready, we can begin!

I use methodology in my classes, that is, books, however not all my class is based on them since it seems a bit tedious to base my class on a book, I take it only as a guide.

In class we will see practical, real cases and depending on your level I will speak complete Spanish during class or perhaps partially, my goal is for you to feel 100% comfortable.

My methodology is assimilative, intuitive, dynamic and revolutionary! Depending on your assimilation we will see results in the first weeks! I will teach you how to act like a Mexican and even when you speak, people will think that you are Mexican. Speaking a different language is becoming another person within your own body, it's quite an act! Let's act!

I learned to be a French teacher at a French school in Mexico, so I have the right technique for teaching a language and helping students memorize it. I teach at beginner, intermediate, advanced, and proficiency levels. I provide all the necessary materials, including textbooks with lessons and exercises. A class with me is structured in five stages: review of the previous lesson, introduction of new vocabulary or conjugations (3x3 technique), interaction, writing and exercises, as well as games related to the topic. With my methodology, I hardly speak Spanish during class, which allows your ear to easily adapt and you to understand French quickly. I also focus a lot on interaction, so you will be able to speak confidently and fluently, enabling you to communicate with native speakers. In a year or a year and a half (depending on the frequency of classes), you will reach an intermediate level. You can also request a general proficiency session, where I will prepare a topic for exchanging ideas, or if you need to work on a particular grammar rule.

My name is Marine, I'm 28 years old, French (from Dijon), and I've been living in Guadalajara, Mexico for the past five years. I practice rhythmic gymnastics and enjoy dancing and circus arts (trapeze, acrobatics). I have a master's degree in management and I teach French, gymnastics/flexibility classes, and organize cultural and artistic events, which makes me a dynamic and cheerful person. My loved ones say I'm very kind, I like to help others, and I enjoy spending time with my friends. I like to share my culture, talk about music and art, and especially try French cuisine.
