Enrique is an excellent Spanish instructor and a very kind person! His classes are helpful and he keeps the conversations interesting and engaging, and we get to practice lots of Spanish words, phrases and tenses that I don't use in my basic/casual day-to-day conversations.

After 2 lessons with Enrique, I feel like this is what I needed to help me get my Spanish to the next level. He is patient, but his style of teaching gets you engaged quickly and there is almost no English spoken during the lesson...looking forward to this journey to speaking Spanish confidently.

You will speak a lot during class with Enrique. He motivates you to speak and make corrections of your errores.
I've been teaching Spanish as a foreign language for more than twenty years now.
I lived abroad for years but came back to Spain 7 years ago. I really enjoy teaching my native language. I've also had the opportunity to see published what I've learned in the classroom.

Teaching Approach
In my opinion, learning a foreign language has some kind of magic. I really like teaching my native language. At the same time I consider myself as a French and English learner and I think for a language teacher it´s important to combine both experiences,
I believe that learning a language by Skype is an excellent experience. Teacher and learner are in very good communicative conditions and this wonderful tool makes it possible to talk and to read and write, just like into the classroom.
