Spanish course - Conversation and communication oriented - B1 and upwards
From 24.22 $ /h
The goal of my method is to unlock communication, not to produce the perfectly correct sentence. Outside a language class, in real-life situations, we don't have the time, resources or luxury of a tailor‐made conversation partner who is patient and empathetic with our lack of fluency. With me, you'll prepare to face everyday formal and informal conversations with no advance preparation, even when they feel stressful or uncomfortable. You'll discover that communication is, above all, about successfully getting your message across despite mistakes, because in real life the other person is not trying to grade your sentence but to understand you and connect with you. Of course, we will also work on form (grammar, spelling, conjugation, etc.), but in a targeted way.
My approach is based on my own experience as a non‐native speaker in Brussels, a city where multilingualism is a real challenge for newcomers in terms of integration and socializing. My method is also influenced and supported by what I learned during my Communication studies.
Feel free to book a lesson with me and ask me any questions you may have.

About Me
Hi, my name is Jefferson. I was born in Ecuador and I've lived in Spain (2000–2012) and Belgium (2012–2026), and since February 2026 I've been based in Madrid. I teach Spanish in my free time, and I've also taken classes on this platform myself, so I understand the challenges and needs you can have as a student
Right now I'm planning to obtain an official certification in teaching Spanish as a foreign language. In the meantime, I continue offering lessons mainly focused on conversation.

Experience / Qualifications
During my time in Belgium, I really enjoyed sharing my culture and my language. I spent almost 14 years in Brussels, and living in this city helped me develop a passion for languages and informal teaching. While I was in Belgium, I was a regular at language events, tandems, and other international and cultural meetups, where I often took part proactively, sometimes as a host for conversation tables.
