Learn English or Spanish based on your needs and start expressing yourself!

I use various resources in the teaching process, including those I find online and those I create myself, depending on my student's needs. My classes range from clearly teaching the grammar necessary for language construction to guiding the process of acquiring oral communication skills, all depending on your needs.
Based on my experience in the educational field, I can say that two of the most important aspects I consider in the learning and teaching process are the student's needs and their learning styles.
I encourage lots of oral communication, however the other three skills are present at any time of the classes. I can prepare and explain any topic you want to consider for your learning process.

About Me

Hello, I’m Ricardo. I was born in Medellin, Colombia and I am currently based in this city (the city of eternal spring) where I enjoy a full and enriching life. I am passionate about reading, cinema, music, sports, and languages (I've studied French and currently learning German). Additionally, I deeply value the moments shared with my family and friends. I deeply believe that being an autonomous user of any language can give you access to new ideas and cultures and basically different ways to perceive the world and the people in it.

Education

I did my undergraduate program in Tecnológico de Antioquia in Bacheloar's Degree in Education with emphasis in the Spanish Language and my master's degree in Foreign Language Teaching and Learning in Universidad de Antioquia, Medellín Colombia. However, previous to that, I studied Advertising and Visual Communication and then I complemented these studies with Marketing. On top of that, my passion for languages led me to study French and I am currently learning German.

Experience / Qualifications

I have been working as an ESL for over 20 years in different places such as a prestigious bilingual school, several English academies and universities such as Universidad de Antioquia and Universidad Católica Luis Amigó. I also make part of the British Council working as a remote teacher for several kinds of learners. I love to teach face to face with my students, however I have been able to adapt to the virtual courses where I have learned to work with a variety of online tools. Based on my working experience, I know how important it is to get adapted to the student's needs and learning styles. Therefore, those are some of the most important aspects I take into consideration when teaching my learners.

Reviews (1)

Ricardo is an excellent teacher. His extensive professional experience in teaching Spanish really makes all the difference in my learning progress. The sessions are very targeted to my goals and fully customized to my personal learning objective. He is natively from Medellin and is doing an excellent job in explaining in depth the difference in pronounciation, language, and regional terms across Latin America and Spain. I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone who wants to learn Spanish.

Phillip
Private French lessons for adults and teenagers with native French speaker in Co. Mayo
For the past two decades, I've had the privilege of tutoring in both French and English. My students have ranged in age, background, and origin, spanning children, teenagers, adults, professionals, and even seniors aged 85 and above. You might wonder why I teach both languages. Well, I am bilingual, with American and Swiss/French roots, and I currently reside in Ireland. This unique blend of experiences equips me with a strong and relevant teaching approach. I possess an intimate understanding of both cultures, enabling me to tailor my classes to the specific needs of my students. My teaching journey began during my time studying social work in French-speaking Switzerland. I started offering private French and English lessons to supplement my income, and I quickly discovered my passion for it. Even after graduating and embarking on a full-time career, I couldn't bear to give up this rewarding activity. I cherished the opportunity to connect with diverse individuals and assist them in achieving their language goals. In my teaching methodology, interactivity takes center stage. I employ a variety of engaging learning tools, including photos, newspaper articles, music, videos, and more. My approach is highly adaptable, with a focus on addressing each student's unique priorities. Some seek to refine their pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary, while others require assistance with presentations or speeches for school or work. Some simply aspire to acquire a new language to enrich their general knowledge. I also specialize in teaching younger children, a testament to my educational background and experience. What you will gain from my courses extends beyond impeccable pronunciation and enhanced vocabulary and grammar. You'll also acquire a profound understanding of the culture associated with each language. When speaking a language, it's essential to appreciate the lifestyle, traditions, and heritage of the nations where it thrives. French and English are spoken as primary languages in numerous countries worldwide, each with its own unique accent and cultural nuances. The learning process is limitless! In addition to my language instruction, I'm a genealogist and host spiritual (non-religious) seminars in the beautiful West of Ireland. My passion for vegetarian and vegan cuisine adds a flavorful dimension to my life. Furthermore, I hold a degree in Early Childhood Education and have operated a private "Before & Afterschool" facility along with Summer Camps catering to children aged 4 to 12 for many years. I am genuinely excited about the prospect of meeting and working with you!
