About Me
italki teacher since Feb 12, 2020
¡Hola! I'm Martin from beautiful region in Mexico called, Oaxaca. I'm someone who is very interested in meditation and appreciates calm, relaxing enviroments. I certainly do enjoy casual conversations with people. Whether you like to talk about something casual or deep, I can be a good listener/partner and share my thoughts with you.
Professionally, I work as a psychologist / health consultant and I believe my experience has been useful in helping my students to feel more relaxed in speaking Spanish. :)
Me as a Teacher
As you may know, Mexico has many regions that are very much different from one another. If you are interested in knowing more about Mexican way of life/mindset, I'll be delighted to help you through that journey. Or, perhaps you are just interested in the language, as Spanish is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world. The best way to practice it is by speaking it. I can be a good listener as well as conversation partner to help you feel more comfortable speaking in Spanish. Also please feel free to ask me about Spanish or Latin American culture whenever you want. I'd love to encourage my students to think about the cultural differences talk with me anytime.
My lessons & teaching style
I'd like our lessons to be calm and relaxing. We all know speaking a foreign language can be intimidating at first. Calm and relaxing learning enviroments and attitude can help improve retaining long-term memories as well as associating the learning experiences with positive feedback. I'll do my best to make you feel comfortable speaking Spanish and be a good listener so you may feel more encouraged to continue with the journey of learning this beautiful language we have.
*Currently I only teach for intermediate and advanced levels
We had a great talk about relationships today. Siempre un placer platicar con Martin.

Martin is very nice and also quite funny. I find myself laughing at least once during each of our lessons. Our sessions are very casual but still very informative. If you are looking to learn spanish and a little bit about life in general, then Martin will be a good teacher for you. Buena suerte

Fue un placer platicar con Martin. Es un conversador muy amable y con mucho conocimiento sobre una gran variedad de temas. Aprendi mucho sobre la cultura Mexicana y la situacion actual del pais durante nuestra platica. Tambien me mostro un poco de la bella ciudad de Cholula.
