Native Spanish PhD and CMI Public Speaking Expert teaches conversational Spanish and accent reduction online or in Cambridge

If you are looking to learn a new language or level up your Spanish level, I can’t recommend enough Alvaro!
Every class I felt heard and I felt that the content was very interesting. He makes you comfortable to ask what you need and also encourage you to do better. He’s very flexible and make the classe’s vibe great!

Alvaro is the Spanish teacher you want, no matter your age. As a young adult working here in Costa Rica, he didn’t just drill grammar—he helped me nail down the accent for chats with my team at work and made me way more confident giving updates and presentations. We covered everything from real workplace situations to how to sound natural grabbing coffee or chatting in town. Every lesson delivered something new and relevant, always keeping things lively and never childish. Alvaro makes Spanish work for your daily life—whether you’re prepping for a big meeting or just want to connect better in Costa Rica, he’s got you covered.

Alvaro always has a smile on his face and is a great communicator! He truly enjoys teaching and although he’s a native speaker, his Spanish is intelligible, clear and very accessible

I have learnt Spanish in high school and stopped practicing for a couple of years. Alvaro has been the ideal private teacher to go back to the basics, gain confidence speaking and get more into Spanish (and latino) culture. In three words, Alvaro is funny, listening and dedicated. If you still need to be convinced he might surprise you with some salsa skills
