Felipe Ballén

Felipe is an outstanding online Spanish teacher whose patience and attentiveness make every lesson enriching and enjoyable. His brilliance shines through in his creative and engaging conversational style, effortlessly weaving teaching material into lively discussions. Cool and fun to talk to, Felipe transforms learning Spanish into an enjoyable conversation where I always learn a thing or two about Colombia.

Felipe is one of the best teachers on italki! He has a deep and thorough knowledge of the Spanish language and he is a naturally gifted teacher.

As a teacher, Felipe is such a great fit for my level. Whether my language issues are related to speaking, writing, or in some cases grammar, Felipe always pushes me in the direction I need to be heading toward. Like an excellent trainer, he is extremely well prepared and eager to bring out my best performance. There is never a dull moment with him. I've never heard anyone (from a native speaker's point of view) give such easy-to-understand explanations of the subjunctive. Felipe is really helping me break out of my intermediate level of Spanish. After our lessons, I always walk away refreshed and energetic.

¡He tenido una clase estupenda! Hablamos mucho sobre la tradición de los carnavales colombianos. ¡Estoy ansioso por visitar uno!

¡Es un gran placer estudiar de nuevo contigo! Espero la próxima clase.

Fue la lección muy interesante, atractiva y divertida. ¡Que tengas vacaciones excepcionales!
