About Simon
My Spanish lessons are interactive, practical, and tailored to your goals. I focus on real-life communication, cultural context, and building all four skills—speaking, listening, reading, and writing. Whether you're a beginner or advanced, I create a supportive, immersive environment where you learn grammar in context and speak confidently from day one.

My Teaching Method and Techniques
My tutoring style is learner-centered, with a strong focus on clarity, adaptability, and critical thinking. Here's how I approach it:
1. Conceptual Clarity First
I always start by ensuring foundational understanding. I avoid rote learning and instead:
Break complex ideas into digestible parts
Use analogies and real-world examples
Encourage asking "why" and "how" instead of just "what"
2. Socratic Method & Guided Discovery
I use questions to guide students to find answers themselves, building confidence and deeper understanding. I don’t just provide answers—I provide frameworks to solve problems independently.
3. Visual and Interactive Learning
Depending on the subject, I incorporate:
Diagrams, flowcharts, and visual aids
Step-by-step problem solving
Interactive quizzes or quick reflections
4. Adaptable Pacing
I adapt lessons based on the student’s progress. If a student struggles, I slow down and revisit basics. If they excel, I increase the challenge.
A Typical Lesson Plan
Here’s how a standard 60-minute lesson might look:
Time Activity
0–5 mins Quick check-in: goals, mood, and review of previous material
5–15 mins Introduction of today’s topic with examples or analogies
15–35 mins Deep dive: step-by-step explanation, problem-solving, interactive dialogue
35–50 mins Guided practice: student attempts problems or applies concepts
50–60 mins Recap, feedback, questions, and preview of next s

Thank you so much for your work! You are the best Spanish teacher I have ever had. You are very knowledgeable and truly know how to show that Spanish is not difficult to learn, exploring the language in many interesting ways. You are always polite and have incredible patience with your students. Every lesson with you is not only about new words or rules, but also a journey into an unknown culture.
Mucho gracias!
I highly recommend Simon if your goal is to learn Spanish!
