Bio:
Hello, I am Alfonso Parrado and I am an expert of American English. I am a Spaniard, but through a unique method, I learned English by myself to the point of achieving a native-like fluency and accent, specifically a neutral Californian American accent. I hold a Cambridge C2 certificate, I'm well versed in IPA and I teach differently than most others.
My teaching methodology:
- Interesting content, specifically crafted based upon your preferences
- IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) derived material, which is a game changer to learn how to pronounce things properly
- Videos and clips to practice pronunciation and shadow native speakers
- Books, documents and flashcards
My teaching background:
I have taught to students of every level, A1 to C2, mostly teens and adults. I don’t have much experience with little kids and I’m accustomed to intense lessons. I don’t make you need me more than you should, my idea is you learn on your own, I tell you how and I guide you through that journey.
My background outside of teaching:
I studied environmental sciences and chemistry at university, my education is therefore bilingual and scientific. I love science but when I realized I learned English to a point that many people thought impossible, how good a teacher I am and how happy the students are, I switched paths.
