Me as a Teacher
Como profesor soy una persona paciente que cree que todos aprendemos a diferentes ritmos y de maneras diferentes, aunque hay cosas que todos podemos hacer para mejorar. He enseñado a estudiantes de varios países, y mi principal interés es ayudarte a practicar y mejorar tu Español.
I consider myself a patient teacher who believes that everyone learns at a different pace and in different ways, although there are certain things we all can do to improve. I have had the opportunity to teach students from various countries. My main interest is to help you practice and improve your Spanish.
My lessons & teaching style
Puedo diseñar clases basadas en tu nivel de español, metas e intereses. Podemos trabajar con conversaciones espontáneas, temas de conversación que te interesen, lecturas, etc. También podemos tener clases más estructuradas en las que estudiemos gramática, usemos ejercicios orales y escritos, role-playings, y otras actividades comunicativas.
I can design lessons based on your Spanish level, goals and interests. We can have spontaneous conversations, conversations based on specific topics, readings, etc. We can also have a more structured approach with grammar practice, exercises or speaking activities like role-playings.

I'm impressed by how Azael can go with the flow as I forgot to send him what I wanted to work on beforehand! I read in prior reviews that he is good at explaining and clarifying concepts that you may struggle with. I brought up two grammar topics that I get confused in when speaking and trying to understand Spanish. I really feel that he was able to go with the flow and I FINALLY understand them in a more solid way. Thank you!!

Amazing!! My favorite thing about learning Spanish with Azael is that I feel like I am his only student - even though he has a full schedule!! I started knowing nothing about Spanish. Now I have a basic vocabulary, can conjugate basic verbs, count numbers, and also got over my fear of speaking a language I am not fluent in. Thank you very much.

Azael is a fantastic teacher. I have been taking lessons with him for eight months and I always look forward to it. He is very patient, prepared, and flexible. He is a naturally curious person, which makes for great conversation around more structured parts of lessons. Unlike many italki instructors, he has never had connection problems during our lessons. Very kind, great sense of humor. Highly recommend!
