José Hernández
Hi, this is José from the Dominican Republic.
My journey with languages started early on in my life. But it was in college that I decided to start teaching languages to my friends.
I have over 1 year of experience teaching Spanish, English, and programming languages. I’ve helped several companies achieve their goals when it comes to communication processes.
I teach Spanish by blending visual aids with conversational practice, focusing on real-life situations and cultural immersion.
Besides Spanish and English, I’ve dabbled with Japanese, but it may be a little rusty since it’s been a while since I practiced.
When I’m not working, you can find me reading, enjoying music, or learning about technology—I just love to know how things work.
I can help you achieve your goals of learning Spanish by following a few principles I’ve learned over my career: consistency, empathy, and enjoying the process of learning.
¡Nos vemos pronto!
