Diego Grillo Trubba

Diego has been my Spanish teacher for over a year now. After our first conversation I already knew he was the right teacher for me. Not only is he a very structured and skilled teacher, but studying with him is also fun. I was amazed by how much my Spanish improved after only two months of studying with him. You can see that he does not stubbornly go through a curriculum but adapts to the needs and abilities of each of his students. Our lessons normally start with a little chat and because Diego is knowledgeable about many interesting topics, the conversation never runs out. Afterwards the current grammar topic is introduced by means of exercises, examples or explanations. Depending on the subject and my needs there are also homework assignments that are always very creative and fun. I am looking forward to going to Argentina and visiting Diego in Buenos Aires because he’s not only a great teacher but also a very nice and fun person. :) Muchas gracias!

I am studying Spanish from scratch with Diego for more than nine months and I can confirm, it was one of the best decisons I could take. Firstly and most importantly, Diego is certainly the character you want to meet on regular basis: friendly, supportive, intelligent and entertaining with tons of knowledge, stories and experiences to share with his students. Secondly and equally importantly, Diego is well structured teacher helping you building your own competencies and confidence after little steps. After few weeks you realize you are suddenly capable to speak and after few more you are again equipped to express yourself better and it continues like that further and further. His apporoach is smart one: he introduces a new phenomenon, student tries to use it in some limited situations, and then continues with other already known stuff. Then, in some time, we return back to that phenomenon, we repeat it and start using it in wider context.

I've been studying with Diego for almost 6 months now, starting as an absolute beginner, and I'm very happy with how things are going. Not only am I making steady progress as we work through the class materials, but we also spend enough time simply chatting to keep things enjoyable and let me try to use what I'm learning. Would definitely recommend to other beginners!

Diego patiently corrects and encourages and engages his students

Diego is a fabulous teacher! My lessons with him keep getting better and better. I feel lucky to have found him!

Thanks so much for your help & patience in getting me to the end of level B1 - onwards & upwards from here!
