From 18.52 € /h

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.

A brief history of the Spanish language :
Spanish, like French, Italian, Romanian, and Portuguese, is a Romance language and as such evolved from Vulgar Latin. It originated in the Iberian Peninsula, which today is home to Spain and Portugal. The Castilian continuation of Vulgar Latin (from the Spanish region of Castile), mixed with Arabic after the Muslim conquest, ended up forming the standardized Spanish language of the 11th century.

In which countries is Spanish spoken?
Spanish is the official language of the following 21 countries: Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Equatorial Guinea, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Spain, Uruguay, and Venezuela; besides Puerto Rico. Although it is not an official language, Spanish is also spoken in the United States, Belize, Andorra, and Gibraltar.

How many people speak Spanish?
Around 483 million people whose mother tongue is Spanish, making it the second most widely spoken language in the world after Chinese. English follows Spanish with some 360 million native speakers. Spanish is also the third most studied language in the world, after English and French. In addition to those 400 million Spanish speakers, another 9 million speak Spanish as a second language.

How many people speak Spanish in the United States?
In the United States, more than 41 million people speak Spanish as their mother tongue (approximately 13% of the population) and that number is only growing. In addition, the United States has nearly 12 million bilingual Spanish speakers. That makes it the second country with the most Spanish speakers in the world after Mexico, and there are studies that assure that it will become the country with the most Spanish speakers in 2060.

Americans who don't speak Spanish yet are trying to learn it. In fact, Spanish is the most widely learned language in the US, with 50% of college students choosing to learn Spanish, compared to 12% who prefer French.

Spanish is also the third most studied language in the world, after English and French!

Depending on your level of Spanish we will begin to address grammatical issues and the development of the class will depend on your doubts in this regard. Obviously, my main objective is to get to speak Spanish throughout the class.
