    English lessons and tutoring for Spanish speakers (all levels)

    Translated by Google. Click to view original.
    The methods will depend on your level, your goals, and your preferences. For example, we can do
    - conversational practice
    - reading something in English on a topic that interests you
    - traditional lessons
    - resolution of doubts that arise in a course

    I don't think formal grammar is absolutely necessary to learn a language, but I do have training in it, so if you have grammar questions, I'm prepared. I know that all languages are difficult to learn, and English is a little more difficult than expected. Every question is a legitimate question!

    Vivo en la comunidad multicultural de Monteverde, Costa Rica. Estudié filología clásica por trece años en los Estados Unidos. Después de algunos cambios en mis prioridades personales, me interesó menos hacer investigación académica, pero sigo con una pasión para los idiomas y para ayudar a que la gente los aprenda.

    I live in the multicultural community of Monteverde, Costa Rica. I studied Classics for thirteen years in the United States.

    Experience / Qualifications

    Hablante nativo del inglés. Tengo cinco años de experiencia enseñando temas de cultura y lenguas clásicas, la mayoría de ellos como instructor de latín o griego.

    Native speaker of English. I have five years of experience teaching classical culture and languages as a TA, most of them as a Latin or Greek instructor.
    Methods are flexible depending on your level, goals, and preferences. For example, we can - use the traditional grammar-translation method - read something in Greek or Latin that you're interested in together - practice having a conversation in Greek or Latin - go over questions that came up during a course you're taking. All questions are good questions! Some quotations from my evaluations when I taught Latin and Greek as a grad student: "Silvio was a delight to work with. His mastery of [Greek] is impressive, and his joy at sharing his enthusiasm for it is inspiring." "Silvio is the most patient human being I have ever met. . . . He is very understanding in how difficult Latin can be and never talks down to us like we're stupid." "I have nothing bad to say about this instructor . . . he has made learning a completely new language (not to mention a dead language) engaging and easy."
