About Hector
I have been teaching for the past 15 years in academic as well as informal settings. Not only am I completely bilingual with both Spanish and English as my native languages due to my binational upbringing, I have also trained and worked as a professional translator and have taught and done research in both the US and Colombia. I have also studied and learned Portuguese and German, and so am familiar with the processes of language acquisition. I have taught at Universidad EAFIT as well as Fundación Universitaria del Área Andina. I'm a graduate of the University of California, Davis. I have lived in the United States, Colombia, France, and am now living and working in Spain.

My lessons are all personalized and designed to meet the linguistic abilities of each person and centered around their interests. Through my years of experience working with people from toddlers through to adults, as well as with persons with special needs, I have developed different strategies and techniques to really transform the learning experience and the process of language acquisition. The goal is to create a natural language acquisition process that fits each person's needs as well as their individual goals for the language, with a clear emphasis on having fun through it all. I believe in working from the individual's strengths and abilities and using those to reinforce areas that need further growth. Thanks to my long academic trajectory, I can tailor the classes to academically inclined or more socially relevant.
Recommendations

Hector is a fantastic teacher that explained everything clearly, was very patient and he made it fun. He broke the movement into pieces that made it easy to learn. He also added the historical contexts for me which helped me understand how to do the movement easier and better. I highly recommend.
Hector's trustworthiness as a teacher stems from his unwavering commitment to facilitating the academic and personal growth of his students. Having worked alongside him at a local bilingual school in Colombia for two years, I observed his dedication to developing differentiated lesson plans and engaging activities that fostered a genuine enthusiasm for learning. His approach not only nurtured inquisitiveness and skill advancement but also created a collaborative and joyful learning environment for both himself and his students.
Hector was not just a Spanish tutor to me, but also a mentor and a friend. His patience and encouragement helped me overcome my fears of speaking a new language and his guidance was instrumental in my progress. He always made sure to tailor his lessons to my learning style and pace, which made the process much more enjoyable and effective.
One thing that stood out to me about Hector was his passion for the Spanish language and culture. He always incorporated interesting cultural tidbits and fun activities into our lessons, which made learning Spanish feel less like a chore and more like a journey of discovery.
Overall, I highly recommend Hector as a Spanish tutor to anyone looking to improve their language skills. His expertise, positivity, and genuine care for his students make him a truly exceptional teacher. I am grateful for the time I spent learning from him and I will always value the impact he had on my Spanish learning journey. Thank you, Hector!Highly recommend! Is so knowledgeable & experienced in different styles of dance. I especially appreciated a goal-oriented approach and the way he was able to breakdown movements that were challenging to me. I learned so much while also just having fun!
He is always on time, very responsible and respectful. And lovely personality. The best teacher I ever had
I had the pleasure of working closely with Hector while he was a teacher at Liceo Pino Verde, an IB school in the city of Pereira. I was the communications officer and I got to collaborate with him on special projects for his class and for the school, and I was able to see first-hand what an enthusiastic, committed and caring teacher he is. Because of this, his students were thrilled to participate in the activities he designed for them and enjoyed themselves immensely while achieving classroom goals as well as personal growth and social milestones.
I highly recommend Hector to anyone who yearns for a teacher that goes above and beyond the basic level and creates a learning environment that fosters critical thinking, imbues every lesson with a wealth of knowledge and culture, and cares deeply about his students, their dreams and passions.
