soy Lio!
A teacher, musician, and writer from Mexico City currently living between NYC and Yucatán.
I’ve developed my own program to help people to understand spanish, where I coach my students with tailored lessons according to their interests.
I connect my methodology (focused on muscle memory drills) with topics around what Mexico and Latin America have to offer.
I design each and every class exploring things each student already enjoys or has an interest in.
I teach Spanish to students from all over the world both in person and online. I speak English, French, Portuguese and Italian, and I am happy to teach Spanish to students with those language backgrounds, as well.
My students range from total beginners to advanced level students who are preparing for language certification. I recently asked them to send me a paragraph of their experience and this is what they say about spanish chido
reviews chidas
My Spanish has improved more in 9 months with Lio than in 4 years of school. Slang, grammar, music, memes, literature – whatever you want to learn, Lio can teach it. I wish I found him sooner
I have only the best things to say about Lio and his skills as a tutor! He is thoughtful, patient, and creative, and truly tailors every session to you and your language-learning needs and style. I worked with him after resuscitating my decade-long relationship with high school Spanish, and he expertly and kindly worked with me on conversation, using idioms, gossip, pop culture, poetry, and grammar to create the perfect learning experience for my own needs and interests. I can’t recommend him enough!
Lio is an engaging and sympathetic Spanish instructor. Almost a year into weekly lessons
I’m still sticking with it. Lio’s encouraging approach is helping with my confidence and understanding. I highly recommend taking lessons with Lio for his personalized style of teaching.
Lio is not only a great teacher of language, but he is also a great teacher of history, culture, music and art. My favorite thing about his classes is that he takes a holistic approach to the Spanish language. It’s not enough to just know the words and when to say them – he immerses you in latin American culture in a way that is so welcoming, it makes you want to be apart of it! I highly recommend his classes to anvone who is curious about learning a second language! You will not regret it.
I can’t recommend Lio’s Spanish classes enough! Lio’s dedication, passion, and innovative teaching methods made ever lesson not only educational, but also fun.
Whether it was through storytelling, cultural insights, or personalized feedback, Lio always went above and beyond to ensure that I understood and enjoyed the language. In taking Lio’s class, I did not only improve my Spanish, I also gained a deeper understanding of and appreciation for the Mexican culture. Today, my Spanish is great and it is in large part due to Lio’s teaching. Thank you for being a great teacher and friend, Lio!
