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.

Personally Vetted · Strømmen’s Note

Marlon leans on literature as much as grammar out of Santiago, with real communication situations built into every lesson instead of just vocab drills.

Learn more about Marlon

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.
What is your favorite dish from your hometown? If you no longer live there is there a good local restaurant that serves it?

My favorite Venezuelan dish is “Tostada Caroreña.” Here in Chile, I prefer “cazuela de vacuno”—it's a delicious soup.
Besides the languages you teach, do you speak or study any other languages?

I currently study English
What are your interests outside of teaching at Strommen?

I love cicling, swimming and work out at the gym. Also I enjoy reading and learning new things, and get to know new people.
What do you consider your hometown? Why do you love it?

Now my hometown is Santiago de Chile. I like Santiago because there are a lot of things to do here.
