Javier R.
Private tutor in Toronto, Canada
Education
In 2016 I got certified as a Spanish as a Foreign Language teacher through a school in Spain (although I teach Latin American Spanish!) I also hold a Master degree in Pedagogical Sciences from the University of Groningen in the Netherlands.
Experience
My experience goes beyond that of a teacher. My approach is heavily influenced by my experience as a language learner. Since I was a teenager I have been participating in a number of language exchanges and have always taken pleasure in helping people improve their Spanish. Since 2016, after finishing my certificate I became a private Spanish teacher and have been teaching adults since. I've also taught adults and facilitated a number of workshops on a range of topics, giving me a solid foundation in adult education. *Please note I teach adults only*

Hobbies
My hobbies are, first and foremost, languages! I grew up speaking English and Spanish at home and learned French in high school. I also speak Portuguese and even took a certificate course in Mandarin. Linguistic inclinations aside I love reading and have a target of 3 books a month (currently on a non-fiction phase). I also love biking and being active in general. I also have a passion for musicals and try to make it to at least one musical a year. Last but certainly not least, I love travelling and getting to know different places and enjoy the local culture, food and getting to know the local people.
