Spanish for Professionals: Real Conversations, Real Confidence

From 18 € /h

I'm a native Spanish speaker and certified Specialist in Spanish as a Foreign Language (SFL), with over 20 years of teaching experience in both Colombia and the United States. This course is designed specifically for professionals who need to communicate confidently in Spanish at work — meetings, emails, presentations, and everyday conversations with colleagues or clients.

This isn't a generic grammar course. I combine my background as an educator with my technical experience (IT consultant, certified translator) to teach you the Spanish you'll actually use — industry-specific vocabulary, natural expressions, and the confidence to participate in real conversations, not just memorize rules.

Every class is tailored to your level and your goals. Whether you work in tech, healthcare, business, or any professional field, you'll learn Spanish applied to your day-to-day — clear, practical, and focused on what you actually need.

Bring a notebook or laptop for note-taking. No prior Spanish experience required.

About Me

Llevo más de 20 años enseñando, y sigo haciéndolo por la misma razón que empecé: me encanta ver el momento en que un estudiante deja de traducir mentalmente y empieza a pensar en el idioma nuevo. Ese cambio es lo que más disfruto de mi trabajo.
Soy profesor certificado en TEFL (Universidad de Toronto) para inglés, y en ELE/SFL — Español como Lengua Extranjera (Universidad Europea Miguel de Cervantes) para español. Además, trabajo como traductor e intérprete español-inglés desde hace más de 25 años, así que conozco de primera mano los errores típicos, los "falsos amigos" y esos matices que los libros de texto casi nunca explican bien.
Mi estilo de enseñanza es cercano y paciente. Vengo de años trabajando con estudiantes de todas las edades y niveles, así que sé adaptar el ritmo: si estás empezando de cero, construimos las bases sin presión; si ya tienes fluidez, trabajamos precisión, pronunciación y esos detalles que marcan la diferencia entre "hablar bien" y "hablar como nativo".
También tengo formación en aprendizaje socioemocional (SEL), algo que aplico en cada clase: para mí, aprender un idioma funciona mejor cuando te sientes cómodo para equivocarte y seguir intentando. No hay clases genéricas — cada plan se adapta a tus objetivos, ya sea viajar, trabajar, presentar un examen, o simplemente perder el miedo a hablar.

My Spanish classes are designed for students who want to communicate more naturally, confidently, and accurately in real-life situations. As a native Spanish speaker from Argentina with experience teaching adults and professionals, I adapt each lesson to the student’s level, goals, and interests.

Lessons can focus on:

* Conversation and speaking confidence
* Grammar explained clearly and practically
* Vocabulary development
* Pronunciation and listening comprehension
* Argentine and Rioplatense Spanish
* Spanish for professional and workplace situations
* Reading and discussion of cultural or current topics
* Personalized exercises and learning materials

My approach combines structured learning with active conversation, so students can understand how Spanish works while also learning to use it naturally. I provide regular corrections and feedback and adjust the lessons according to each student’s progress.

Classes are suitable for different levels, from students building their foundations to advanced learners who want to refine their fluency and accuracy.

Dans mes cours, l'espagnol n'est pas seulement une langue étrangère, mais aussi un voyage à travers une culture diversifiée et abondante, de l'Amérique à l'Europe, avec une littérature et une richesse incontestables.
J'ai obtenu un premier diplôme de technicien en alimentation il y a 18 ans. Et après avoir fait ce travail, j'ai décidé que je voulais obtenir une deuxième certification pour un nouveau travail qui m'était naturel: l'enseignement des langues.
Je suis diplômé de l'Institut Hemingway en Espagne, en tant que professeur d'espagnol comme langue étrangère. J'ai formé des étudiants universitaires et non universitaires avec d'excellents résultats. Vous pouvez être sûr que mon expérience, ma patience et mon caractère vous aideront à parler espagnol, à améliorer vos compétences ou à réussir un examen de certification ou universitaire.
Vous aurez envie d’assister à tous les cours car ils seront aussi des rencontres avec un valeur pour tous.

Hello! I am a native Spanish and Catalan speaker and a student at an international school in Graz. I also speak English at native level and German at B1 level.

I offer individual Spanish lessons and tutoring for school students, beginners and adults who would like to improve their Spanish in a relaxed and friendly environment. I also offer Catalan lessons and conversation for anyone interested in learning or practising the language.

I can help with grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, conversation, reading comprehension, writing, homework and school material. Lessons can be adapted to each student's level, interests and goals.

As a student myself, I aim to explain things clearly, patiently and in an approachable way. Lessons can be taught in Spanish or English, with some German support when needed.

Classes are available at my location in Graz, at the student's location or online.
