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 always so patient and understanding! When I am struggling he immediately comes down to my level to help. Can’t wait for the next lesson!

Azael is a great teacher, taking time to explain, going back and reviewing old material to remind or make sure I've understood it, and takes a ton of notes during lessons and gives you homework to reinforce what is taught.

Another great lesson with Azeal. He makes me feel very at ease and helps me focus my learning. I really like the concentration on one topic and working on it until I get it right
