Hobbies

I love traveling, going trekking and especially l like finding waterfalla. I like to know and try to understand different cultures. I also like history, geography, and sociology. I am a father and I love to do everything with my little daughter. In relation to sport, I am an avid swimmer, and I like to talk a lot about football (the game, the players and a world cup histories for example). I used to work in amateur sports radio broadcast so I like the media. Finally I like to cycling and the first time I went to Brazil from Chile I went on my bike! A trip of 7000 km which took me 7 months. It was the most incredible adventure of my live ... until today.

Teaching Spanish as a second language since 2017.

I speak a total of 3 languages:
Spanish (Native), Portuguese (Advanced), English (Intermediate).

I've visited or lived in the following countries: Argentina - Perú - Bolivia - Uruguay - Paraguay Brazil

"I like the flexibility of Live Lingua, for me 30 min is the best time slot I can handle to learn languages. I personally learn best with a focus on conversations and the one I had with Tamara were very interesting and I felt they helped me progress a lot. If it was possible I would focus the learning on a conversational approach... I never liked grammar." Francesco O. - Unknown

"Since I signed up for Live Lingua, I have made significant strides in recapturing my Spanish language skills. Customer service is friendly and efficient and very prompt. The teachers are great and they really make it comfortable and easy to learn and advance." Lace H. - Unknown

"I can’t believe how awesome this service is. I can ONLY speak to Arles as a Spanish tutor, but he’s the best teacher I’ve ever had. He’s incredibly organized with PowerPoints and lesson plans." Nick L. - Unknown

"I've been learning Spanish for 5 years and recently started working one on on with a live Spanish instructor. They were able to see where I still needed improvement and tailored lessons to my specific language learning needs. Activities are culturally immersive and the experience has been amazing." Marcus A. - Unknown
