About Cristian
I’m Cristian, and I’m obsessed with making language learning actually work for busy people. Born and raised in Medellín, I’ve spent the last 6 years helping travelers and professionals skip the frustration and get straight to the good stuff, throught a system based on helpfull and easy hacks as well as lots of conversation.
Why jump into sessions with me?
I’ve worked with many people over 11,900 hours of 1-on-1 coaching, I know exactly where you’re going to get stuck before you even do. I don't just teach; I fix the 'bugs' in your learning process so you can move faster.
The Colombia Connection: You’ll pick up one of the most clearest accent in Latin America. Whether you want to sound professional or learn the specific local 'paisa' slang to survive a night out in Medellín, I’ve got you covered.
Zero Judgment: My sessions are a safe zone for making mistakes. Honestly, if you aren't making mistakes, you aren't learning. I provide the structure, you bring the curiosity, and we’ll get you speaking from day one.
Whether you're starting from scratch for a trip through LatAm or you're a good person looking to finally understand your neighbors, coworkers, family members or your partner's relatives I have the system to get you sorted.
Let’s skip the boring bits and get you talking.
About the lesson
- All Levels
- English
All languages in which the lesson is available :
English
Let’s be honest: nobody moves to Spanish speaking countries or travels through LatAm because they’re excited about just grammar tables. You’re here to connect, to joke around with locals, and to actually understand what’s happening at the table.
I’m Cristian, and I’ve spent over 11,000 hours helping people stop 'studying' Spanish and start speaking it. My approach is simple: we cut the fluff. We learn throught mucha conversación.
What we’ll actually do:
The 80/20 Rule: We skip the dusty textbook rules you’ll never use and focus on the 'hacks' that get you through 80% of daily life.
Ditch the mental translator: I’ll show you how to build 'muscle memory' so the words come out naturally.
The Drill:
55-min sessions that feel more like a chat than a lecture.
Zero hidden costs: I provide all the materials.
Save some cash: If you’ve got a travel mate or a partner, bring them along for a semi-private session and split the bill.
If you’re over the boring apps and ready to actually sound like a local, let’s have a quick chat. Book your free trial and let’s get you sorted. ¡Vamos!"
Reviews
All of our reviews are collected by us and are 100% reliable. They correspond to a real experience had by the students of Cristian.
Perfect! It is always a great experience with Cristian, every class fun, relaxed, and engaging.
Cristian explains grammar without making it overwhelming or boring. He balances grammar with real-life conversation. He breaks everything down in a way that makes sense and always connects lessons to everyday situations and culture, which makes it interesting and practical. He also has a really good sense of humour, which makes the classes even more fun and there are always a few laughs to be had during our lessons.
He’s super patient, encouraging, and genuinely cares about his students improving.
If you’re thinking about learning Spanish, Cristian is definitely the teacher you want!- Audrey es bastante impresionante con los idiomas. Ha tenido, por algún tiempo, exposición al español, y es por eso que posee un gran morral de conocimientos del mismo. Su acento es muy bueno, y gracias a su profesión de unos años como profe de inglés, podrá ser capaz de tomar el inglés y hackearlo.Cristian's response :
Perfect! Cristian is an excellent teacher - his knowledge of both English and Spanish is outstanding, and he explains important concepts very clearly. He has many language “hacks”, as he calls them, to help me learn Spanish more quickly. He pushes me when I need it! We always start with a general discussion - he knows how to pitch his Spanish to my level so that I understand most of the conversation. We discuss everything from day to day activities, to books and films. He gives regular homework which is integrated into each class. There is a clear structure to his lessons, which I really like. Five stars!
Cristian es un profesor excelente: su conocimiento del inglés y del español es excepcional y explica los conceptos importantes con mucha claridad. Tiene muchos "trucos" del idioma, para ayudarme a aprender español más rápido. ¡Me anima cuando lo necesito! Siempre empezamos con una conversación general; sabe cómo adaptar su español a mi nivel para que entienda la mayor parte de la conversación. Hablamos de todo, desde actividades cotidianas hasta libros y películas. Da tareas regularmente, que se integran en cada clase. Sus clases tienen una estructura clara, lo cual me encanta. ¡Cinco estrellas!- Ron, desde el día uno, ha sido un estudiante bastante proactivo. Constantemente está haciendo preguntas, hace sus tareas, prepara para las clases, es decir, es un estudiante muy integro. Si continuas así Ron, vas a llegar muy lejos en este viaje que se llama: Español.Cristian's response :
Perfect! Cristian is an absolutely brilliant teacher! He is an extremely patient and super helpful mentor who caters for your every need as you progress. He puts amazing amounts of time, effort and thought into each lesson and I cannot recommend him enough !
Perfect! Cristian is an excellent tutor. His classes are a perfect balance of structured teaching and personalised conversation. Just as importantly, he's a warm and easy going person. I highly recommend him.
Perfect! I enjoyed my lessons with Cristian very much and I improved a lot under his guidance. Cristian is very experienced but relaxed and fun too. Perfect combo for me.
- La primer clase con Kerry ha ido muy bien. Ella ya tiene bastantes conocimientos del español, y por eso la clase tuvo una gran fluidez. Así que organizaremos clases muy enfocadas en potenciar esa parte conversacional.Cristian's response :
Perfect! Christian is professional and intentional in the way he teaches. His method of encouraging me to use my Spanish to ask questions and make conversation is a great way to begin leaning the language.
I look forward to learning more in the future.- Jake es teso! Aunque no tiene mucha experiencia con el español, no tuvo reparo en usar y practicar las preguntas y conceptos básicos que vimos en la clase gratis. Yo creo que Jake continua así, va a llegar lejos con el español en poco tiempo. Nos vemos en futuras clases Jake!Cristian's response :
Perfect! Cristian's method of teaching Spanish is awesome - it has everything you'd want and need. Due to his structured approach, I now have a much clearer understanding of the language and how to learn it. I look forward to our future lessons!
Perfect! I enjoyed Cristian’s methodology for getting us started with learning Spanish. He made the lesson fun.
- La clase con Carmen y su hija Stephany ha estado muy divertida, nos hemos reído muchísimo. Las dos son bastante energéticas y muy atentas en clase. Se lanzan a practicar incluso con miedo al error, y eso es genial. Espero chicas ayudarles mucho con esas metas de aprender el español, para que así puedan viajar a países hispanohablantes con más confianza. ¡Mucho ánimo en esta aventura!Cristian's response :
Perfect! Fantastic teacher who is very engaging and communicative. I recommend Cristian highly
Perfect! Cristian is an amazing communicator and calming presence for anyone starting out their Spanish language journey right up to the more experienced speaker. He makes learning Spanish so simple and has been such a help for me. Couldn't recommend him more!
- La clase con Matt ha ido súper bien. Tiene algunos conocimientos del español, los cuales intenta usar en sus respuestas y eso es súper bueno para aprender un idioma: ¡Lanzarse a practicar! Por eso, la clase ha ido muy amena.Cristian's response :
Perfect! Really enjoyed my first lesson with Cristian. Made me feel very comfortable and helped me express myself in Spanish with ease.
- Kate es una mujer muy apasionada por el español. He tenido algunas clases muy bacanas con ella, ya que ella ha tenido un acercamiento bastante largo con el idioma, y eso hace que las conversaciones en clase fluyan muy bien. Tiene mucho conocimiento de la gramática, pero quiere mejorar algunos conceptos que en su momento no estudió de manera detallada. Sería muy bacano continuar con su proceso.Cristian's response :
Perfect! Cristian is patient and so easy to get along with which makes classes so much more enjoyable! Super organised and above all he is a native Spanish speaker so definitely is great to learn conversational skills the common way it is spoken. Recommend 100%!
- The class with Jenny went really well. She practiced, spoke, and asked lots of questions; that's a fantastic way to approach learning a second language. Also, she is very charismatic, so that helped a lot the class flow. Thanks Jenny.Cristian's response :
Perfect! Finished a class with Cristian. For nearly a year i have studied with Cristian since visiting Colombia and speaking no Spanish. He is a very professional teacher and easy to understand he breaks things down simple and has the ability and patience to help you grasp the new language at your own pace as well as creating a challenging environment for you to learn. He is very accommodating to my hectic lifestyle. Greatly appreciated and highly recommended!
- Sí! Todo fue muy bien! Hemos tenido nuestra primera clase a través de esta plataforma, y todo fenómenal. Liam, ha sido un excelente estudiante bastante comprometido con el español, y después de unos meses de trabajo, ya podemos ver los resultados de la constancia. Felicitaciones parcero por tu disciplina, entrega y trabajo. Sigué así y hablarás mejor que tu profe. Seguro que sí! Jajaja! Las mejores hermano!Cristian's response :
Perfect! Christian clearly demonstrates and explains the way the Spanish language works rather than just giving you things to memorise.
This is a great thing if your goal is to learn Spanish and keep it for life!
10/10 would recommend Christian.- La clase fue muy bien! Me encanta que los estudiantes se arriesguen desde el primer día a conversar y a usar lo que vamos aprendiendo durante la clase; y Jack ha hecho exactamente lo mismo. Bacano parcero! Sigue así y vas a tener una experiencia muy bacana en tu viaje hablando en español.Cristian's response :
Perfect! Cristian is a great teacher and I’ve learned lots! Looking forward to more lessons!
- La clase con Kirsten ha ido muy bien! Ella es muy amable y tiene una gran motivación para aprender el español. Le gusta practicar y se lanza a hacerlo y eso es siempre bueno para aprender un idioma. Así que, mucho ánimo, y sigue así!Cristian's response :
Perfect! Cristian organised the online class well by writing out questions/answers, explaining phrases, allowing a lot of practice with speaking (which is what I need) and was fun and engaging :)
- Las clases han ido muy bien con Donna. Ella verdaderamente está super interesada en aprender. A pesar de sus horarios tan locos en el trabajo, sigue siendo muy disciplinada y responsable con las tareas y las clases. Durante nuestros encuentros siempre se arriesga a conversar aún sin importar los errores, y eso es fundamental para aprender el español. Te animo a seguir con el proceso tan bacano que llevas! Saludos!Cristian's response :
Perfect! I had a great first lesson with Cristian ! He was really encouraging and after one lesson I can already feel my confidence building. Cristian clearly explained what we would work through with a focus on conversational speaking and has already given some great tips to help me improve in my own time
- Las lecciones con Caitlin han sido geniales. Ella siempre tiene preguntas, todas las clases nos reímos y disfrutamos cada hora Vemos temas de gramática y estamos construyendo su caja de herramientas para el viaje que va a realizar a unos países que solo hablan español, y eso ha sido fantástico. Ella es super amable, y ha encontrado en las clases un ambiente cómodo para conversar y practicar demasiado. Eso me gusta mucho, que hablen mucho en la clase. Sigue así Caitilin!Cristian's response :
Perfect! Cristian is a fantastic teacher. I recommend him to anyone who would like to learn Spanish. Excelente!
- Michell is a really charismatic woman, who wants to start this adventure of learning Spanish. That charism and the motivation she has, will help her a lot during this journey. So, keep it up and enjoy the trip!Cristian's response :
Perfect! I couldn't recommend Cristian more. He is super patient, helpful and knows all the technical details of both English/Spanish to accelerate your learning. As a beginner he has provided a fantastic easy-going environment to learn. If you're thinking about which tutor to choose, Cristian is a great choice.
- Seth has an impressive talent for languages. He is quite animated and motivated to learn Spanish, and that is going to help him a lot. He practices, uses and studies the concepts we learn in class and that is fundamental in learning. So, I encourage you to keep it up, and continue learning this very useful language for life.Cristian's response :
Perfect! Cristian is a great teacher. Classes with him have been so worthwhile! Cristian has an amazing way of breaking things down so that they are understandable. He puts a lot of thought into his lessons so they're paced just right.. you feel challenged but not overwhelmed! I highly recommend to anyone who wants to learn Spanish

Cristian is a great spanish teacher. If you are looking for a good teacher to learn spanish i would definetly recommend him! He is patience and clear in his communication. He also speaks italian which is great for me.
I have been taking lessons with Cristian for over a year and a half now and the amount I have learned in that time is beyond what I thought possible. I have been able to visit Spanish speaking countries in that time and communicate effectively and comfortably with locals as well as pick up on the slang, traditions, and cultural nuances that Cristian taught me about. The different Spanish conjugations can be very tricky to navigate, especially as someone starting with zero Spanish background, but Cristian has taught me several useful hacks to keep track of which I need to use in different circumstances. I also really like the order in which he taught me the different tenses and conjugations, as they seemed to build on each other and establish my speaking naturally, while not going too fast to allow for me to fully grasp each concept. He also knows how to balance the classes, letting you have time to talk and work in a more conversational environment while discussing things that you’re actually interested in—it continues to amaze me how personal the classes feel. As long as you are taking multiple classes every single week and completing the exercises he assigns (and staying on top of expanding your vocab!), you will be understanding and speaking Spanish proficiently in no time. His scheduling system makes it super easy to pick times that work for you every week so that you’re not locked into the same time if other priorities in life arise. 10/10 would recommend Cristian to help you learn Spanish (or English)!
I have been taking classes with Cris for two years. His way of teaching is structured, patient, and precise. I think one of the most difficult things when teaching is knowing which mistakes to correct. Cris does this in a way that always makes you feel like you’re progressing, and he gives you the confidence you need to start speaking.
Después de dos años, puedo tener conversaciones, expresarme y conectarme en español. Y ahora Cris no solo es mi profesor, sino también un amigo. Si tuvieras el tiempo, deberías tomar clases con este parcero. Gracias, Cris, por todo.I've been with Cristian for several months now and at the beginning I didn't really feel I was learning mutch however as we've progressed I've realised I have actually been learning a lot and basic foundations it's just been so natural and seem less. Hes taught me basic foundations answered all of my questions thoroughly and for a disorganised person like myself been very flexible with lesson times and dates despite the time differences we have. If I were starting off Spanish again without a doubt I would go back to Cristian can't recommend more. He explains basic principles and each lesson and connects assisting ideas to help you actually be able to use the concepts in conversation from day one, as the lessons progress you learn more and use more at a very natural pace. I highly recommend Christian for all learners.
Cristian is a fantastic spannish tutor. I have been with him for around 2 years now and have enjoyed every second under his tutelage. He makes it very simple and informative and uses a multitude of methods is his classes. We have used books, flash cards, general conversations, music and videos; He always keeps it interesting.
He is also very patient with his students, while he will push you to do more and not make it (too) easy, he appreciates your level and takes time on areas thst you are finding a little difficult.
Flexibility is a great aspect of Cristians classes. Both in terms of when you can book a class and also if you have to reschedule with little notice, he will accommodate you as best as he can.
I have gone from not being able to speak any spanish at all, to being able to hold conversations on multiple topics. I am amazed by my journey, supported by Cristian and I would recommend his classes to anyone looking to learn Spanish, whether a novice or intermediate learner. Muy bueno!!!
Cristian es un profesor de español fantástico. Llevo con él unos dos años y he disfrutado cada segundo bajo su tutela. Lo hace todo muy sencillo e informativo, y utiliza una multitud de métodos en sus clases. Hemos usado libros, tarjetas didácticas, conversaciones generales, música y vídeos; siempre mantiene el interés.
También es muy paciente con sus alumnos; te anima a esforzarte más y no te lo pone (demasiado) fácil, valora tu nivel y se toma su tiempo en las áreas que te resulten un poco difíciles.
La flexibilidad es un gran aspecto de las clases de Cristian. Tanto en cuanto a cuándo puedes reservar una clase como si tienes que reprogramarla con poca antelación, se adaptará a ti lo mejor que pueda.
He pasado de no hablar nada de español a poder mantener conversaciones sobre diversos temas. Estoy maravillado con mi experiencia, con el apoyo de Cristian, y recomendaría sus clases a cualquiera que quiera aprender español, ya sea principiante o intermedio. Muy bueno!!!Cristian is a great teacher for all Spanish levels! Cristian and I met two years ago in Colombia when I was a total beginner in Spanish. Ever since I got back from my travelling I have online private lessons with Cristian. I learned so much from him and feel very comfortable speaking in Spanish now!! And besides that Cristian is a lovely person, great to talk to and very patient. I definitly recommend taking classes with him!
Cristian has been my teacher now for over 9 months after we first met at Spanish school in Medellin.
What can I say about Cristian as a teacher? He is easy going, relaxed and the lessons always have an element of humour.
He gives detailed and clear explanations and doesn't mind my asking of lots of questions, always being super knowledgeable and having a great understanding of Spanish Grammar.
I recommend Cristian 1000% if you are looking for a Spanish teacher!Cristian is a wonderful Spanish teacher, we have been doing lessons online for a year now and I can see a huge improvement in my Spanish.
Each lesson he is really prepared and provides great feedback. Couldn't recommend him more highly!Cristian and I met in Medellin where he taught me in person for a few tutorials over 3 weeks. Now that I am back in Australia we have continued to do lessons online once a week for the past year.
He is patient, explains course work very well, makes activities interesting and most importantly is fun to be taught by.
I highly reccomend Cristian. He is genuine and ensures his students continue developing whilst having a good time.View more recommendations
