I joined a sample class with Axel H—really great session. Axel H balanced speaking practice and explanation really well. I’d happily recommend {name} to new students.

Tutor Bio
Qué tal chicos/as cómo están? My name is Axel and I am from Bogotá, Colombia. I have been living in LA for more than 30 years and with Strommen for almost ten! During this time I have helped many students of all ages learn, not just Spanish, but also key aspects of Hispanic and Latin American cultures essential to better understand and appreciate the language. I graduated with a BA in Spanish and Linguistics from UCLA, an institution I continue to be a part of. I also speak French and Portuguese which provides me with a unique understanding of how these romance languages work and relate to each other. No matter your needs (academics, business, travel, short or long term), I love what I do and enjoy sharing this passion with folks ready to unravel a new world while they reach their goals as well.

What is your favorite word in your language and why?
Too many to choose ;-)

Piano and music in general. I also enjoy reading, dining out, traveling, hiking, and walking my dog around the neighborhood.

These days, Silver Lake. I spend a lot of time at home and I very much enjoy the area. I also still have a deep connection with Bogotá and love spending time there at least once a year.
