Real conversations.
Real progress. Real Spanish.

Live 1-on-1 lessons with a native Colombian teacher. No apps. No group classes.
Just real Spanish, built around you.

Feel comfortable while speaking the language

I work with a small number of adult students at a time — professionals, travelers, and curious minds
who want to actually speak, not just study.

If that sounds like you, let’s talk.

WHAT WE DO

See your Spanish skills grow faster and more effectively than in a traditional classroom setting.

“Hernán has been a great teacher. I started out afraid to use any of the Spanish I already knew. Now after a few months of classes I’m working with clients completely in Spanish. It’s great for business but also very fun and fulfilling for me.”

—ADAM WITZBURG, MORTGAGE ANALYST
“His patient and positive approach has made all the difference, especially at the beginning, when progress is slow and hard, and the chances of getting discouraged are higher.”

—MICHELE ZINI, SENIOR ECONOMIST
"He is outstanding with advanced students, and tailors lessons expertly according to our interests. Hernán is a great conversationalist as well as teacher and I'd recommend him without reservation to anyone who takes their Spanish seriously, or wants to start."

—JENNIE ERIN SMITH, FREELANCE SCIENCE WRITER
"Quand j'ai commencé les conversations avec Hernán je débutais en espagnol . Je passe trois mois au Mexique tous les ans et il est important que je pratique toute l'année . Hernán est un très bon professeur car il a une culture générale importante et très variée .On peut donc avoir des conversations toutes les semaines sans que ça soit lassant .Je vous le recommande vivement."

DOMINIQUE CHEVALIER, ARCHITECT
"My Spanish has improved significantly under his instruction. His way of teaching makes learning Spanish stress-free and fun -- and has been very effective for me."

EMILY RASMUSSEN, PROJECT MANAGER
"Hernán has not only increased my vocabulary and understanding of Spanish grammar but he has helped me to feel comfortable and confident speaking the language. Prior to meeting with Spanish-speaking clients, I practice with Hernán and have always had extremely successful results."

Leo Latella, Attorney
"He knows exactly how much to challenge me, and balances teaching with a sense of humor and is passionate about bringing out the best in my grasp of the language."

Jenna B. Field
"He encourages thoughtful conversation through creative, contemporary topics, and clearly points out mistakes and how to fix them. Beyond oral communication, he’s fantastically helpful with writing. Hernán has regularly helped me edit a range of texts—important emails, interview guides, contracts, etc. Very highly recommended!"

Laura Doering, Assistant Professor of Strategic Management
