FEDERICO R.

Hello! My name is Federico, and I’m from Buenos Aires, Argentina. I have Estonian roots and am a citizen of both Estonia and Argentina. I’ve been living in Estonia for five years, and I currently live and work in Tallinn. Spanish is my native language, and I teach it to both young people and adults. In addition to Spanish, I also teach German, French, and Italian. German has been part of my life since childhood because my father was German, and we also spoke German at home. I earned the qualifications needed to teach these languages at the Goethe-Institut, Alliance Française, and Dante Alighieri Society in Buenos Aires. I have experience teaching languages in both Argentina and Estonia, including at various schools and language schools.

University and graduate studies

For me, the most important thing in language learning is communication and the practical use of the language being learned. I try to create a friendly, relaxed atmosphere where students feel comfortable and aren’t afraid to make mistakes. I tailor my lessons to each student’s language level, needs, and goals. In class, I focus on speaking, listening, reading, and writing. I explain grammar clearly and use a variety of texts, exercises, and examples from everyday life. My goal is for students not only to gain new knowledge but also to become more confident communicating in the language they’re learning.
