Rodrigo

¡Hola! My name is Rodrigo. I come from Colombia, a vast South American country known for its beautiful landscapes, cultural and gastronomic richness, and linguistic diversity.

I am a teacher of Modern languages from Pontificia Universidad Javeriana (Bogotá) and I also hold a qualification in the teaching of Spanish from Instituto Caro y Cuervo, one of the oldest and most prestigious institutions of the Americas aimed at researching and teaching the Spanish language of Colombia, as well as its literatures, history, and cultures.

I am passionate about travelling and language teaching. This is why after a period of immersive studies in the south of France in 2019, I decided to come to the UK and pursue my master’s degree in Language and Cultural Diversity at King’s College London.

After graduation, I was granted my stay in the UK, which has enabled me to have invaluable experience of teaching English, French and Spanish — both on an online and face-to-face basis — to adults from different sociocultural and sociolinguistic backgrounds. These include people from South Korea, Italy, England, Portugal, Canada, Japan, and Brazil amongst many others.

Professionally, I follow the communicative approach. This means that in my lessons, you will be involved in real-life communicative situations, which will help you build strategies for language acquisition while having fun.

My other passions include attending and reading about theatre plays, watching series and Japanese anime.

¡Los veo en clase!
