Making my Spanish students think and speak well in the first ten sessions of Spanish.

Hello there! My name is Marcelo, I am from São Paulo, Brazil, and have taught languages since 2000. I started teaching Spanish at companies in Brazil, and then in 2004, I moved to Chicago. There I started teaching Spanish but soon more and more students requested Portuguese classes. Two years later I opened a language school dedicated entirely to Portuguese. I have been teaching languages (Portuguese, Spanish, and English) online since 2014. My method is conversational and intercultural. The students do learn vocabulary and grammar, but the time in class is used for the students to talk as much as possible.

I am a passionate Spanish language instructor whose native language is Spanish. I strongly believe that learning Spanish has become a global and professional necessity, just as English is today. Both languages go hand in hand in creating better professional opportunities, personal growth, and economic development.
