Tutor Bio
Hi, my name is Marlon Rivas Sánchez, I'm a passionate teacher with more than 15 years of experience teaching Spanish language and literature at Venezuelan universities. I also have experience in teaching Spanish as a second language. I have been an online Spanish tutor for more than two years now. I enjoy and put a lot of effort into teaching. I specialize in creating custom-made lessons for my students based on the functional communicative approach. Depending on the student´s level I practice conversation and also work with a variety of texts, videos and other interesting material. I also help students improve their Spanish grammar and vocabulary so they can express themselves more correctly and appropriately when communicating with native speakers both in writing and speaking.

What is your favorite word in your language and why?
“Amuñuñamiento,” as a noun, and the verb “amuñuñar” are my favorite Spanish words because they're very expressive and fun in the Venezuelan variety.
