Buenos días,
My name is Juan Sebastian and I come from Colombia. I was born in Bogota about 26 years ago. I went to college and got a degree in Politics and an Master in Political Science as well. Previously I had studied a little bit of Medicine and Management before going into the Social Sciences. I enjoy reading, writing, swimming, playing futbol and watching movies, especially from Latin America. We can discuss any topic you want from History to Literature, Culture and of course Politics. Also, we can learn about particular mannerisms from Latin American countries and expressions. It all depends on your interests. Should be fun!
Gracias y hasta pronto!

I have taught little children in the U.S.A. They were between 9 and 14 and had no previous knowlege. I was also a private tutor for fellow students who were taking Spanish in high school. I had in total 6 students from different levels but none of them was advanced. Duration of 5 months.
In Colombia I taught two Germans. One of them went there to do his civil service and had no previous knowledge of the language. We had class for 3 months. I also helped a German colleague who had previously studied 2 years and went as an exchange student to my university. He wanted to improve his writing skills and conversational skills for academic purposes. We practiced during 4 months.
