In class, we will practice the four skills:
Speaking: through grammar practice, conversation, and analysis of relevant content
Writing: through analysis and creation of useful texts
Listening: through audio, videos, podcasts, and phonetics and phonology exercises
Reading: through exploration and study of interesting and up-to-date readings
Everyone has different needs when it comes to learning Spanish. Schedule a free call with me to talk about your goals and I will give you a price based on what curriculum will be best for you!
If your priority is practicing your conversational skills and focusing on speaking, you can practice with me. I'll be happy to work with you to help you speak more fluently and confidently, and to increase your vocabulary. In these classes, we'll work on different disciplines of Spanish, such as phonetics, phonology, popular slang, and colloquialisms. We can also cover specific topics such as gastronomy, culture, and other technical vocabulary.
If your priority is learning the structure of the Spanish language for professional and academic purposes, we can build your curriculum around grammar, punction, and other technical aspects.
You don't need to be in Oaxaca to take classes with me! If you prefer, we can do our classes on digital platforms such as Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meets, and more. I also have a wide variety of digital materials at no extra cost. My scheduling is flexible so you will always be able to make time for learning Spanish.
If you'd like a different type of class and are very active, we can also have our walking class in one of the beautiful towns in the state of Oaxaca or in the heart of the city, where you can see the art and architecture of this wonderful city. We can walk through the streets, parks, galleries, and local markets, and try different seasonal fruits, typical foods from the state, and its delicious cuisine.
If you visit the city of Oaxaca, I can give you a wide variety of activity recommendations and places to visit, such as: cooking classes, dance classes, ceramics classes, embroidery classes, visits to a "Pueblo Mágico" or one of the beautiful beaches. Oaxaca offers thousands of options and you can encounter an appropriate activity suitable for your tastes.
If you are looking to pass an official exam such as the DELE, SIELE, CELU, or another type of official test, whether for a university exam or for a subject, I can help you and provide you with the foundation to prepare, from level A1 (basic) to level C2 (advanced).

"Studying Spanish is one of my most fun endeavors, and Adan has been one of my most fun teachers. His broad interests combined with his patience and good humor kept our class of three students laughing and learning for four hours every morning. I have studied at more than 15 Spanish schools throughout Latin America and Spain, have encountered many good teachers, and I can say that Adan is in a class with the best. One thing I really appreciated during my two weeks with Adan was that he was able to explain difficult Spanish grammar concepts in English as well as in Spanish. His lessons were well planned and delivered at a comfortable pace. Daily homework assignments helped to reinforce what we learned and I felt my conversation skills improve as the days progressed. Give Adan a try; I bet you will like him." - Keith

"I am delighted to recommend Adan, who has been an incredible teacher throughout my learning journey. He is a truly outstanding educator, patient, caring, and dedicated to helping his students succeed. What sets him apart is the way he teaches Spanish with genuine soul and passion. His lessons go far beyond grammar and vocabulary; he brings the language to life by sharing cultural insights, stories, and real-world context that make learning deeply engaging and meaningful.
He always takes the time to explain concepts clearly and ensures everyone feels supported and encouraged, no matter their level. His patience and kindness create a positive, motivating environment where you feel comfortable to practice, make mistakes, and grow. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking to learn Spanish with a teacher who not only knows the language inside out but also inspires you to love it as much as he does." - Kelly
