About Me
italki teacher since Aug 4, 2021Interest topicTravelSports & FitnessMedical & Healthcare
Hello! My name is Santiago Herrera. I'm a trained linguist and language teacher who loves teaching Spanish.Me as a Teacher
More than a teacher, for me it's very important to be friends with my students. I'd love to get to know you and for you to get to know me. That way our classes will be more interesting. I love talking about everything. From your academic achievements to the reason why you broke up with your ex; to your dreams, your fears, your traumas, your tea, and every single thing you talk about with your closest friends when you go out with them. Anything you'd talk about in real life.My lessons & teaching style
My method consists in helping my students create texts about topics they can talk about in real life conversations. Those texts are created having into account the grammar we have learned together (or that they already know). We will study the vocabulary with games, homework, quotes, videos, audios and apps, then I'll test them. Then we will focus on pronunciation until the student is able to talk like a native-speaker about the topic they wrote about.My teaching material

Teacher’s pick
I still remember the first day of my Spanish class with Santiago; I only knew a couple of words in Spanish such as Hola, Gracias, and 'Café con leche y croissan, por favor'.
His passion toward teaching has walked me through the steps to practice speaking Spanish. His patience and quick wit make me feel comfortable even when I make some mistakes.
Besides his affability and encouragement, I appreciate him being attentive in every single class with meticulous attention to my mistakes.
For me, the best part of his class is that he does not give me a right answer immediately, but nudges me to guess the correct one so that I can feel like ‘I Accomplished Something Great!’
I want to express my sincere gratitude to you, Santiago and I am psyched for the next class! ¡Hasta pronto!
