Hear From My Students
"Alex is an amazing instructor and I always look forward to our lessons. I've noticed a major improvement in my Spanish, especially being more confident in conversation since starting lessons with him a few months ago. Alex is great at understanding my level of Spanish when approaching lessons and is supportive in challenging me to improve. Not only has Alex been a great instructor of the language, he's also been very helpful in understanding Argentine culture, politics, and other aspects of the country in preparation for my trip."
Alex Halloran
"Alex has outdone himself, BEST teacher I've had: he customizes the lessons and prepares fun activities and conversations.
I am interested in Argentina and Castellano and so he has taught me Lunfardo words and Argentine/Castellano expressions. Such an amazing process because he will send me resources for personal study.
I have seen massive jumps in my Spanish since I started learning from him because he is patient and when I forget a word, or don't know how to say something, he helps me learn on the spot.
I kid you not! My Spanish was very beginner when I met Alex. And now I already am speaking faster and smoother and it has only been a few weeks."
David Harvey
Alex is the real deal! There are many Spanish teachers here on this platform, but pay attention to all the extra work that Alex puts into his offer: he writes an easily accessible blog that students can review before a class for discussion topics and he recently released a podcast. He's fun to talk with and flexible in his scheduling. I was lucky to be his 1000th class and I can feel his experience through his easy demeanor and professional yet friendly approach. Thanks Alex!

Es un verdadero placer hablar con Alex. Es como hablar con un amigo que conozco desde hace años. He aprendido mucho sobre Argentina gracias a él y a su podcast.

I had a really pleasant lesson with Alex. He is very a patient and attentive teacher. I would really like to commend him for his ability to balance having a natural conversation in spanish with learning not only about Argentina and its culture but also adding a lot of new lexicon and grammar along the way. I definitely recommend Alex if you are looking for an interesting, patient, and motivating individual to help you improve on your spanish.

Alex is the best teacher! Focuses on exactly what you want to do and your goals. He is able to push you to learn more without going too fast that you don’t understand. Would highly recommend to anyone !
David Brestovansky
He is so much fun. He also was early for our meeting and never let the conversation go stale. It was also 7am, I’m not one to do morning meetings but I might just have to start. Can’t wait for the next one.

Alex is an awesome teacher and he's very flexible as well with his times👌 I like the topics we discuss and that he let's me speak as well as he himself talks. it's great having the ability to squeeze in daily spanish. in my lessons I'm also learning more about his country and him as a person. these are more than lessons you are interacting and having a conversation with a person. thanks for another great lesson
