"Aprender una nueva lengua es adquirir una nueva alma"
"Learning a new language is earning a new soul"
Danish proverb.
Ever wondered what you could achieve, if only you had the right teacher?
If you are planning to go to latin America or to any other Spanish speaking country as a tourist, as student, for work or if you want to practice your speaking skills or if you want to speak the language of your ancestors because you were born in a different country and you grew up in a bilingual family but you don´t speak their language and you want to improve your Spanish to communicate in a full spectrum with your own family let me tell you that you are in the right place.
Speaking a second language helps you to be confident and to be seen everywhere you go.
Based in the communicative approach you would see results in a natural way!

About me:
Born and raised in Oaxaca, Mexico.
When I was 11 years old a teacher made me feel I was not good at learning languages and I believed it for many years then somehow I found myself studying "teaching English as a second language" in my 20´s. I didn´t know I liked languages until life brought me there and from then on I have become a Spanish and English teacher. I also learnt French and I am currently learning German.
It is interesting to know that one single comment can make us feel that we are not good enough in something but when we find out who we really are and what we are capable to do We can grow and that´s why it is important to have good guidance when we learn something new.
Failing and frustration are part of the process of learning a new language and sometimes we believed that our effort is not enough and as a result we quit the goals we wanted to achieve but here is where we have to ask to ourselves Do I really want it or not? The answer could change our life.
Discipline , perseverance and patience are going to help us to achieve everything that we want in life.
I discovered that when we learn a new language the mind become wider and it expands the universe that lies within you.
I hope I can help you during this process of learning a new language and earning a new soul.
Our students.

"Néstor is an awesome teacher with an open heart, a great ability to listen and a lot of patience. We always have a lot of fun in our classes which makes it a lot easier for learning. What I love the most about his classes is that he cares about my interests and designs the classes according to them. Means that there’s always something interesting to talk or to read combined with a great potential of learning.
¡Gracias por todo!"

“Tomar clases con Nestor cambió mi vida. Ahora me siento en confianza para hablar con hispano hablantes. También es chido que varias oportunidades de trabajo se han abierto para mi.”

"I´ve been taking classes with Néstor for about two years. He is a kind and patient teacher that pushes me in the areas I struggle with. Our classes are primarily conversation based, which has been very helpful for me because I often work in Spanish for my job. He also incorporates a lot of reading aloud in his lessons and tailors the subject matter based on your areas of interest. These exercises have helped me tremendously in terms of my comprehension and pronunciation".
