    Entertaining & Knowledgeable Spanish Conversations: Fun Lessons with a Great Teacher

    Welcome to my Spanish language lessons! This lessons aim to enhance the student's skills in speaking, reading and writing Spanish. I believe that learning a new language should be an exciting experience that suits the student's personal interest and background. Therefore, my lessons are designed to cater to individual needs and provide a stimulating atmosphere for growth. My teaching approach emphasizes building confidence in the students by encouraging them to practice speaking in Spanish as much as possible. My goal is to improve your ability to express yourself fluently in different situations with accuracy. As I believe that making errors is part of the learning process, I will provide correction through feedback on both written and speaking. I hope this will allow you to learn from your own mistakes without feeling discouraged. The aim of my lessons is fostering your communication skills for everyday conversations. I invite you to join me in this journey towards becoming fluent Spanish speakers. My commitment is to support your language development by providing a positive learning environment where you can grow at your own pace while getting challenges suited for your level of competence.

    About Oscar B.

    “Oscar is an exceptional teacher (this will be my second year to learn from him), and this is a direct result of his stellar course content and innovative teaching style. His students ultimately learn to speak and write Spanish through a useful, interesting process, while simultaneously learning proper grammar and mechanics. It is a rare occasion to see a bored student in Oscar's class- he constantly engages students using different mediums that call upon our abilities to think critically and add to our ever-growing database of our personal knowledge of the language”.

    Oscar is a great instructor! He's goes above and beyond to ensure that you are learning the concepts. Additionally he provides good supplemental resources to help reinforce the learning process. My son is looking forward to additional lessons.

    Oscar was very patient and encouraging. He spent considerable time getting to know me and my interests so he would know where to lead the conversation. I am looking forward to my next session.
