About Ian
I have undergraduate degrees in Fine Arts and Liberal Arts (Anthropology, Art, Philosophy). I have studied in English, Spanish, and French contexts in degrees philosophy and cognitive science in graduate school, just now finalizing my PhD in program in the French-speaking region of Switzerland. I have lived on and off in Chile where my family is from but was mostly raised in Miami. In Chile I have tutored many students, primarily English but sometimes French, over many years, as well as Spanish mostly to English speaking students in the United States. I offer lessons online.

I feel that getting the student to speak more than myself is best for practice. I interview the student and instant message any corrections to them in real-time. I also frequently assign news articles to advanced students and correct their written summaries of these. I strike a balance between allowing the student to direct the focus of vocabulary to suit their needs while at the same time introducing necessary grammatical challenges such as prompting "Quiero que.../ Je veux que..." sentences to produce the subjunctive tense or stories from their past to practice various past tenses (imperfect, perfect, pluperfect, etc). I focus on conversation and vocabulary building but am also able to offer lessons in more technical writing for academic or business contexts.
Recommendations
Recommendations come from relatives, friends and acquaintances of the tutor.
Ian has tutored me online for over a year now and I have noticed many of my usual mistakes finally disappear in Spanish. I am now writing well enough to apply to university in Spain which was my initial goal. Definitely recommend if you are looking to get to a formal level.
