I've been learning Spanish with Gon for 3 months now. He is amazing!
I always look forward to the lessons as he makes them fun, interactive and engaging. He challenges my skill level each lesson. He is also very patient with my talking practice and encourages me to take risks and try!
Highly recommend.

Gon seems incredibly knowledgeable with many different formats and ideas of approaching the journey of learning a new language at his fingertips. He speaks Spanish very cleary and the quality of sound was better than normal through this application. I will definately be booking more classes.

I initially contacted Gonsalo to get crash course of Spanish to prepare an interview. Gonsalo very well understood my needs and adapted the lessons to review Spanish basis.
The new objective is now to reach B1 or B2 level within 3 months.
Gonsalo is designing classes to my specific level / needs. He manages to create interesting classes combining vocabulary, grammar and dialogues.
I warmly recommend Gonsalo as teacher!
