I’m Claudio, a native Spanish teacher, examiner, and coach with over 10 years of experience helping adults speak Spanish with confidence.
Throughout my career, I’ve worked with professionals, students, and teams from companies like Google, eBay, PayPal, and many others... and I’ve helped hundreds of people reach fluency and achieve goals that mattered to their lives.
But more importantly, I’ve seen the same pattern again and again:
-
People didn’t struggle because they weren’t capable.
-
They struggled because the way they were taught made them doubt themselves.
