About Spanish Gym
I am Mexican by origin and Spanish comes naturally to me
I have mastered the nuances of the language and offer you the best way to learn Spanish.
I always had a keen interest in learning languages. My fascination with and passion for languages grew stronger when, as a freestyle wrestler, I represented Mexico in international events. Over eight years, I traveled extensively and was exposed to new cultures and languages.
I studied English at the prestigious Universidad Autónoma Benito Juarez de Oaxaca, Mexico, French at Kalamazoo College, MI, USA, and earned a Masters in Applied Spanish Linguistics to the Teaching of Spanish as a Second / Foreign Language at the Universidad de Jaen, Spain.
I taught English as a Foreign Language for several years in one of the most successful ESL (English as a Second Language) schools in Mexico. In 2004, I migrated to the United States. I have been teaching Spanish in New York City since then.
My career has included meeting and teaching people from all different walks of life. I have taught middle and high school Spanish teachers, MDs, dentists, Managing Directors and CEOs of well-known companies, nurses, psychologists, waiters, computer experts, actors, accountants, managers, lawyers, bartenders, social workers and the list goes on.
I have also taught students in College, High school, Middle school, Elementary school and students being home-schooled.
I am also a certified Medical interpreter nationwide in Spanish (CMI) by the The National Board of Certification for Medical Interpreters and have over 20 years of translation experience.
I am looking forward to helping you with your Spanish.
