"Hey I'm Antonio, I’m a fluent Spanish speaker with over 4 years of language experience learning and using the language in real-world settings. I studied abroad for a full academic year in Spain, where I lived with a Spanish family and attended a local Spanish high school. I completed a full course load in Spanish alongside native students and earned the equivalent of a 4.0 GPA. That experience was one of the best of my life, gifting me fluency and a love for Spanish culture.

Before studying in Spain, I began learning the language on the job while working at a farmer’s market, where many of my coworkers and customers spoke Spanish. Trying to communicate in that environment meant constantly navigating awkward and often humbling situations where I didn't always understand what was being said. Having learnt spanish myself from scratch, I bring a learner's perspective to teaching and know how to provide support when things get tough.

I specialize in beginner and intermediate Spanish, conversation practice, academic support, and grammar foundations. Whether you're prepping for an exam, learning for travel, or just want to feel more confident speaking, I’ll tailor our sessions to your needs and goals. My focus is on making Spanish practical, so you can feel confident during real conversations as well as in the classroom. Feel free to message me with any questions or to schedule a lesson!" less...
