About Alan
I'm Alan, originally from Argentina, and I've spent years living, working, and traveling across multiple countries — which is exactly why I teach Spanish the way I do. Before becoming a tutor, I worked in hospitality and guest services at upscale properties, most recently in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, where I spoke Spanish, English, and Portuguese every day with guests and colleagues from all over the world.
That experience taught me something textbooks don't: language is a tool for real connection, not a subject to memorize. Whether I was helping a guest find their way around, solving a problem at the front desk, or just having a genuine conversation, I learned to communicate clearly, warmly, and adapt to whoever I was talking to — and that's exactly the skill I bring into my lessons.
I've traveled extensively across several continents, so I understand what it's like to navigate a new language and culture as an outsider — the nerves, the small wins, the moments where a phrase finally clicks. I want my students to feel that progress from the very first lesson.
Outside of teaching, I'm passionate about coffee, sports, and connecting with people from different backgrounds — which is probably obvious by now!
I'm looking forward to helping you build the confidence to speak Spanish naturally, whether it's for your next trip, your job, or just for the joy of it.

My Teaching Approach
I believe the fastest way to learn a language is to actually use it — not to memorize grammar tables. My lessons are built around real conversation from day one, even with complete beginners. We talk about your trip, your job, your daily life, and I correct and guide you naturally as we go, the same way you'd pick up phrases living in a Spanish-speaking country.
Methodology & Techniques
I use a communicative approach: role-play (ordering at a restaurant, checking into a hotel, asking for directions, small talk with locals), practical vocabulary building around real situations, and gentle, real-time correction so mistakes become learning moments instead of a red pen on a page. I bring in my own experience working in hospitality and guest services across multiple countries, so the Spanish you learn is the Spanish people actually speak — not textbook Spanish.
A Typical Lesson
We start with 5 minutes of free conversation to warm up and see what's fresh in your mind. Then we work through a practical scenario relevant to your goals (traveling, workplace Spanish, casual conversation), introducing new vocabulary and structures as they come up naturally. We close with a quick recap and I send you a short list of the key phrases and words to review before our next class.
What Sets Me Apart
I'm a native Spanish speaker, but also a Certified Spanish Teacher (ELE- Miguel de Cervantes). But I'm not only teaching from a textbook — Since I am also a full-time traveler I'm teaching what I've actually used to communicate, work, and build relationships in different countries.
Who These Lessons Are For
These lessons are ideal for travelers preparing for a trip, professionals who need conversational Spanish for work, beginners who feel intimidated by traditional grammar-heavy classes, and anyone who wants to build real speaking confidence rather than just pass a test. All levels welcome — I adapt the pace and content to exactly where you're at.
