Spanish lessons and tutoring for English speakers (all levels)
Von 29 $ /Std
Methods are flexible depending on your level, goals, and preferences. For example, we can
- do conversation practice
- read something you're interested in in Spanish together
- have a traditional lecture with practice exercises
- go over questions that came up during a course you're taking.
I don't believe that formal grammar is absolutely necessary to learn a language, but I've learned a fair amount about it, so if you want to go there, I'm prepared to go there.
All questions are good questions!
Some quotations from my evaluations when I taught Latin and Greek as a grad student:
"Silvio was a delight to work with. His mastery of [Greek] is impressive, and his joy at sharing his enthusiasm for it is inspiring."
"Silvio is the most patient human being I have ever met. . . . He is very understanding in how difficult Latin can be and never talks down to us like we're stupid."
"I have nothing bad to say about this instructor . . . he has made learning a completely new language (not to mention a dead language) engaging and easy."

Über mich
Vivo en la comunidad multicultural de Monteverde, Costa Rica. Estudié filología clásica por trece años en los Estados Unidos. Después de algunos cambios en mis prioridades personales, me interesó menos hacer investigación académica, pero sigo con una pasión para los idiomas y para ayudar a que la gente los aprenda.
I live in the multicultural community of Monteverde, Costa Rica. I studied Classics for thirteen years in the United States. After some changes in my personal priorities, I became less interested in doing academic research, but I still have the same passion for languages and helping people learn them.

- practice having a conversation in Greek or Latin
- go over questions that came up during a course you're taking.
All questions are good questions!

The methods will depend on your level, your goals, and your preferences. For example, we can do
- conversational practice
- reading something in English on a topic that interests you
- traditional lessons
- resolution of doubts that arise in a course
I don't think formal grammar is absolutely necessary to learn a language, but I do have training in it, so if you have grammar questions, I'm prepared. I know that all languages are difficult to learn, and English is a little more difficult than expected. Every question is a legitimate question!
