Graduate from  the MATSpanish masters program at the  Universityof Illinois at Chicago. I speak NativeSpanish from Puebla-Mexico,but try to teach a diverse one so  you can choose what Spanish to speak

Ian is an exceptional Spanish teacher! Our classes are fun with an emphasis on conversational Spanish and we often read short stories and discuss afterwards. He keeps my goals for the language in mind and helps me to sound more natural in my everyday speech. I would highly recommend him!

Ian tutored me in Spanish every week for over a year, and I learned so much! As a native speaker but also someone who has mastered a second language, he knows firsthand what it means to be a language learner. This gives him insider knowledge into study methods, tips, and tricks. Oftentimes, our sessions would be conversation practice so I could work on my speaking and listening skills. I always appreciated how invested Ian was in me and my learning and how he was able to personalize my lessons to guide me to pick up new words and grammar structures without a textbook—just through talking! I’d highly recommend Ian to anyone looking to learn Spanish, whatever their level.

Ian is very patient and professional when it comes to teaching the material. He allows the lessons to be tailored to your preferences and does a great job of breaking down the information!!

Ian takes the time to structure your lesson to meet you at your Spanish level. The lessons feel casual and conversational, which give me the confidence to have everyday interactions with Spanish speakers. I highly recommend Ian as a teacher !

Ian is an excellent teacher. He’s professional but keeps classes relaxed and fun. My favorite thing about his teaching style is that he really emphasizes speaking to you in Spanish even if you’re a beginner so you feel like you’re getting real experience listening and talking rather than just reading from a textbook. Highly recommend!
