About me: I was born in Guatemala, a small country in Central America. Spanish is our official language and we also have 23 unofficial Mayan languages. I have a great passion for different cultures, people and languages. I started studying Mechanical Engineering in Guatemala but for unforeseen circumstances I couldn’t finish but I am now continuing with my degree, in South Africa, where I currently live. I have worked as a carpenter, interpreter, web designer and sales representative. In 2014 I had the opportunity to live in France for 8 months working as a language assistant - an amazing experience that gave me, amongst other things, the opportunity to meet my girlfriend with whom I am currently living within South Africa.

Availability: Currently I am living in South Africa. The time zone is GMT+2. I will be available at different times during the day since I am studying but generally available between 6pm and 10pm weekdays, and mornings on Saturdays.

Why learn with me? I love languages and I love to teach. I communicate well with the students I work with, and help them understand in a fun and interesting manner. I have learnt English and French, so I have the experience and understand what language learners  go through.
