About Me

Hola a todos!

My name is Santiago and I am a language teacher from Colombia. Spanish is my native language and I enjoy teaching my language and culture to students from all over the world. I enjoy teaching because of the personal connections one can make in an educational setting and because I love helping students communicate in a foreign language. My methodology includes highly-interactive materials and activities to get students using the language right away in conversation, reading, listening and writing. My virtual classroom always has a very low-stress environment so my students can feel safe and confident learning Spanish. I enjoy designing my own materials and lessons taking into account my students' needs, skills, and interests. As my student, you will be assigned a personalized online classroom that will include PDF activities designed by me such as worksheets, tests, readings and links to many resources for homework and practice.

I look forward to helping you develop a fluent and confident Spanish!
