I'm able to practice speaking and writing with him. He even taught me grammar that 6 years of Spanish classes never taught me. He will push you to advance more than you expect! Most importantly, he is very encouraging and positive. If you're anything like me and feeling nervous or hesitant about practicing your Spanish with a total stranger, then I would highly recommend Santiago! He will put you at ease and help you get better.”Ashley · Oct 4, 2026

He speaks both German and English, which makes communicating with him in any language completely seamless and comfortable. On top of that, his Spanish is very clear and easy to understand. I highly recommend him! My goal is to speak fluent Spanish for my regular trips to Colombia. He flexibly adapts the lessons to my level and personal needs without losing sight of a structured curriculum.”Diona · Sep 29, 2026
