Hello! I’m Arnaldo Farias, a language teacher with over 30 years of experience teaching BASIC English and Spanish.
I was born in Venezuela, with nationality from Peru, and I currently live in the Dominican Republic.
I studied Foreign Languages at the Pedagogical Institute in Caracas, and I started teaching young people and adults from a very young age. I first learned BASIC English on my own — by listening to and writing down the lyrics of singers and bands from the 70s, 80s, and 90s. Later, I lived in New York, where I continued learning and immersing myself in the language and its cultural expressions, although I know I'm still learning.
My Spanish lessons are designed for beginners and intermediate learners. I combine a clear structure, personalized materials, and a communicative approach. I enjoy, I love teaching from the student’s own language when possible, because I know it makes the process easier. Now you know I explain Spanish through its cultural background, which helps students understand it deeply and remember it more naturally.
I’m passionate about teaching because I teach the way I wish I had been taught — with patience, empathy, and attention to every question. I never get annoyed when students ask questions — in fact, I love it! I’m happy to repeat things as many times as needed until you feel confident and secure.
I focus on working with adults, professionals, and university students from the United States, the UK, and other English-speaking countries, helping them move forward with confidence. What motivates me the most is seeing my students’ joy when they understand a conversation, pronounce something correctly, or finally start speaking with ease.
If you’re looking for a tutor who not only knows the language but also knows how to teach it with passion, culture, joy, dedication, and respect — I’d be honored to help you. Book a trial lesson and let’s start this journey together!
