About Me
My name is Camilo. I am a native Spanish teacher, qualified in “Spanish as a Foreign Language”, living in Kent in the UK. I love teaching and helping people improve their Spanish skills.
I am a patient teacher and for me it is important that you learn calmly and develop your strengths in learning. My lessons are relaxed and fun, but professionally focused on achieving your goals. The most important thing is that my students always achieve the best results.
Experience
I have taught Spanish one-on-one in the UK, both in person and online, for more than 21 years. This included teaching children from age 5 to adults aged 80. I have helped students of any level, including GCSE, IGCSE, National 3-5, A-Levels, IB, and degree-level. I have also been teaching adults of all ages to visit, travel, and live in countries wherein Spanish is spoken. I also teach the International Spanish Levels A1, A2- B1, B2- C1, C2.
