Do you know the difference between the Preterito perfecto and the Indefinido?
Example:
Ayer hice pasta para comer. (Yesterday I made pasta for lunch)
No sé si hoy ha ido a la oficina. (I don't know if he has gone to the office today)
El mes pasado me (inscribir-yo) en el polideportivo de mi barrio. Como no (recibir-yo) ninguna confirmación, hace 3 días (llamar-yo) por teléfono para ver si mi inscripción estaba en regla. Entonces la secretaria (mirar-ella) en el ordenador y me (decir-ella) : "Ya (introducir/yo) tus datos y tu nombre no (aparecer-él) “¿Estás seguro de que te (registrarse-tú) correctamente? ”. Yo (responder) : “Claro que sí. ¿De verdad no (encontrar/tú) a nadie en la lista con el apellido Martinez?”». Al final todo fue un error. Menos mal!
Last month I enrolled the sports centre in my neighbourhood. As I didn't receive any confirmation, 3 days ago I called them to check if my registration was ok. The secretary had a look at the computer and said: "I have already introduced your details and your name didn't show up. Are you sure you did the registration properly?" I answered: "Of course I did. Are you sure you haven't found anybody called Martinez?". Finally it turns out everything was a mistake. Just as well!

What our students say
Unlike in other platforms, all our teachers are manually verified by our professional team. Trust in the experiences of our students.
In recent years I have worked as an Academic Director at a Language School in northern Spain. My job duties there included designing intensive Spanish & English courses for beginners’, intermediate and advanced levels, as well as teaching both on-site and via Skype. This constant interest has allowed me to become familiar with techniques and tools that are essential in today´s second language learning, such as the materials used by the Cervantes Institute and the most renowned publications and blogs in the field of language teaching. Most particularly, I have made extensive use of audiovisuals and creative writing activities in order to develop consistent, effective courses.
As an on-line teacher, I have steadily used different technology applications in language learning. My tasks as a teacher included setting homework and giving feedback to my students, according to their needs, on a regular basis, as well as keeping accurate register of their attendance and progress.
Graduated in Hispanic Philology and Masters in Applied French, I have always kept up with my teaching training and have recently completed a Cambridge CELTA course for English teachers This further training has provided me with the familiarity to different teaching methodologies, which have proven to be extremely useful in my classes.
My hobbies: art cinema, hiking, reading and watching and playing basketball.

I wanted to refresh and improve my Spanish and I contacted Inigo because he 's certified in luinguistic. Inigo is very patient, professional and helpful. He provides well structured lessons, in a very friendly and good atmosphere which is really favorable for learning a foreign language. The lesson material is built around several support such as text, audio, video, etc. You can't be bored and it's nice to switch between the different materials along the hour. He's also fluent in French and English so he can switch from a language to another for any explanation if needed. I really enjoy my lessons with him and I definitely recommand him!

Hola, qué tal!
I have always enjoyed working with languages, culture, education and people. I am originally from Venezuela so Spanish is my native language and I have been living in Belgium since 2009. My degree as Master in Industrial Sciences is equated here.
I am a teacher and since 2018 I have been teaching Spanish to adults. I am able to boost the self-confidence of my students. My lessons are for absolute beginners (direction level 1 and 2), intermediate (direction level 3) and advanced (direction level 4). Conversation is also possible. I focus on the four most important skills: speaking skills; listening skills, writing skills and reading skills. And also on grammar and spontaneous communication.
Teaching and language are just my passion and I would like to teach it to others. I work with adults and seniors, but know that every person learns in a different way. Pleasure in learning and daring to communicate are paramount to me: We use Spanish book and workbook; audio material (Spanish songs), card games and more!
Los espero!
