Levels taught:
Beginner, Intermediate, AdvancedIn my teaching I use a communicative approach with meaningful exchanges but with a solid foundation of the formal aspects of the language too, so that students can move forward safely. I pay attention to individual differences so that each student can progress at his/her own pace with ease.
At intermediate and advanced levels I always favor the use of meaningful discussions and debate about updated issues, so that students learn how to express their opinions and ideas properly in different contexts.
I believe in creating a friendly atmosphere with meaningful human exchanges throughout my lessons.
About Carlos E.
I have been a language teacher for more than 24 years. I have a B.A. in English Language and Literature and my curriculum includes several subjects related to Spanish grammar, composition, phonetics and literature, so apart from being my native language (I am Cuban) I have the necessary academic knowledge to teach Spanish to speakers of other languages.
I have worked mainly with adults in colleges and language schools. At the university level I worked with students from different professional interests, so I am familiar with teaching the language for specific academic skills. I have also tutored individual adults and teenagers. At present I am also teaching children in an after school program.

I had 5 classes with Carlos and was very satisfied with his approach. He is very friendly and sets up the classes based upon the students needs and skills. Muchas gracias.

Carlos is a great instructor and I am happy to be learning with him.

Carlos was very professional, kind, and patient with our family. We enjoyed the lesson.

Carlos is a native Spanish speaker and he also speaks perfect English. After one session I can see he's really good guy, has a good rapport with students which is half the battle. His credentials for the job are vast. Muy bueno!
