About Jake

One of the most important things about me is that I like to talk and connect with people. I believe that my life has led me across the globe for a reason— so that I can better understand people from different walks of life and therefore be a more effective teacher. I value a good conversation, and I am confident that those who choose me as their tutor will not be bored during their lessons and will feel encouraged and energized regarding their language journey.

I am also a student! I plan to live in a Spanish-speaking country in the future, and I spend a lot of time in Central America, so I am constantly working to improve my Spanish speaking, comprehension, writing, and reading. I am also a beginner-level (A2) German student!

My formal background includes a Bachelor’s in Geography with a Minor in Spanish from the University of Colorado-Boulder. After university, I worked for over 2 years at a digital imagery reseller, doing GIS and marketing, often interacting with Latin American clients fully in Spanish and translating technical newsletters. Since then, I have worked as an Auxiliary English Teacher teaching ESL in a secondary school in Spain, as well as in tech sales, hospitality, and the public sector (as a Park Ranger!). Most recently, I have completed a 120-hr TEFL/TESOL course and now possess a Certificate that is ACCREDITAT-approved.

About the lesson

- My general approach: YOU tell me about yourself and your goals, and we tailor a lesson plan based on your needs and timeline
- Whether it’s learning the basics or practicing advanced conversational English, we create a lesson plan that is exciting and interesting for you; this could be primarily a Task-based Learning approach, or Teach-Test-Teach, or whichever style matches your learning type the best (visual, auditory, verbal, kinesthetic)
- I provide guidance on how best you can leverage AI to advance your learning
- I am advanced proficient in Spanish (B2+) and have a Minor in Spanish from the University of Colorado-Boulder, plus I have spent time living and teaching ESL in Spain... So if Spanish is your native language, you can feel comfortable leveraging your native tongue to articulate more difficult questions!
- I have spent time in many different industries: tech sales, hospitality, public service — so I can utilize my experience to help you gain the speaking abilities you need to advance your career!
- Basic lessons for all ages, advanced conversational options for ages 15+

Awesome language partner to have, he really helped me with my English and Spanish skills. Since he's a student himself he is empathetic to the struggles faced in language learning, very easy to work with and fun to talk to! His methods are casual yet organized and well structured. Would recommend!!
