Rodrigo P.

Hello, my name is Rodrigo, you can call me Rod. I am passionate about many things… one them is teaching. I would like to highlight that I have been working for more than 3 years teaching Spanish as a Spanish Coach in an online application for university students. I have taught Spanish to more than 400 university students, mostly from the United States. I also have my own theoretical resources and practical exercises in PowerPoint and Word that I have created over the years for my students. They will help you a lot and are also in systematic order, from easy exercises to more difficult exercises. In my work I have learned many things, to speak clearly and slowly, to use examples, mimics and to find the source of the misunderstandings in the knowledge of the learner. I can help you develop your language to the next level, specially conversational skills. I really think that grammar and rules are important later on, but the most important thing when learning a language is being able to communicate and connect with people. To achieve this, the most efficient route is to have meaningful and relaxed conversations on different topics ranging from the beginner level, such as food, restaurants, habits, friends, travel, vacations, movies, series, to more specific topics such as literature, hobbies. , illustration, architecture, theater, university classes, arts, sports, piano, singing. I think it is essential to abandon the fear or shame of making mistakes and free your tongue, without pressure. So let's go! Another thing I would like to highlight is that I also love mathematics. During my years of study I have always been interested in acquiring more and more knowledge in different areas of mathematics and physics, which helped me obtain good grades and also explain to my classmates. During university I began to offer private classes finding many students and I was also selected by the professors to be a calculus 1 tutor and then a linear algebra tutor. I emphasize in creating reasoning and give all the information in strategic chunks so that the student is able to solve problems on their own.
