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 B.A 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.
