From Spain

Living in Barcelona, Spain

I am a profesional language teacher. For more than five years I have been teaching Spanish, Catalan, English and Serbo-Croatian. I have taught children as well as teenagers and adults. I also help with DELE exam preparation (A1-C2 level). Throughout my working experience as a language teacher one of the important achievements was the fact that I was the founder of Catalan language course and its promoter in the cultural centre I worked for where my activity was related to the following points: ▪ Introduction to grammar and practical vocabulary necessary for fundamental communication skills ▪ Instill concepts of both Spanish and Catalan languages by introducing interactive activities ▪ Use structural methods and materials appropriate for instruction success ▪ Assess student accomplishments and work with them on weak areas I have already been working for Italki and as you can see in my records and references from my students (many) I am a very dedicated teacher who adapts the classes to the necessities of the students. Thanks to my vast linguistic knowledge, a Master's degree in language teaching and more than 6 years of experience as a language teacher (including the period I was actively working at Italki and rated as one of the top teachers), I have been and I still am one of the most dedicated teachers that your platform has had, with guaranteed outstanding results. Therefore, I would like to start again my activity in this platform and recover my Teaching Profile and my...

Nando has supported me on my way to improve my Spanish skills for quite a while now and I've always been super happy with him as a teacher and with his teaching strategies. Once he spots a weak point, he's able to quickly shift the focus to it and helps you improve on that part. You'll soon notice Nando's passion for languages and his highly qualified knowledge about spanish linguistics. Therefore, he always has an easy and comprehensible answer for any question. What distinguishes him as a great teacher is that he is very motivated and dedicated in providing the best help required for the student's needs. - Excelente!

If you are looking for a wonderfully organized teacher with great attention to detail who is friendly and encouraging, you should certainly sign up for a class with Nando. Today we covered basics in the language: alphabet, sounds, combinations of sounds that are often challenging, particularly for native English speakers. Nando used various aspects of Croatian culture as a prism through which to aptly explain structure of the language, conventional usage, and other details that are integral to the language. We began first with a dialogue, which I enjoyed because it got me producing sounds from the language immediately. As you can see from the length of my comments, this was indeed a really good lesson and I will definitely be continuing as his student. Hvala puno, Nando. Vidimo se uskoro.

Nando, What a guy! Loving having lessons with him. He’s a super-intelligent guy and very well educated in his proper field of study. One might call him “the king of Spanish” due to his extensively detailed knowledge of the language. He literally knows all the nooks of the language. Foolishnesses aside, he’s an awesome guy, very friendly, is able to pinpoint exactly what I need and I am learning a lot.

I'm not an easy student because I have already studied quite a few other languages and have an informal knowledge of Spanish. However, Nando very quickly assessed my needs and devised a way of working that would help me make the progress I'm aiming for. Would highly recommend!
