sebastian requires prepayment for all teaching sessions.
I’m a professional language instructor from Montreal,Canada. Born and raised in Argentina, I have attended a French immesion school since the age of 5 . At the age of fourteen I moved to Canada for seven years, then moved back to Buenos Aires, Argentina.I came back to Montreal in 2000 to do my university studies. I am perfectly trilingual in Spanish, English and French. Since I have lived and studied in many countries, I am attuned to the cultural differences that are specific to each language. I have been teaching languages for over ten years to students from different corners of the world. I’ve taught Spanish at the University of Minnesota and at Johns Hopkins University as a full time lecturer. I am currently teaching English and Spanish in the Quebec post-secondary system as well as online where I also teach French.I have a B.A. in English literature. I hold a Master’s degree in Hispanic Literature as well as a Baccalauréat: Lettres et Littérature.I firmly believe that the most fascinating aspect of learning a new language is that it opens the door to new cultures and new ways of thinking. I ‘m really passionate about teaching, and one of my best qualities is that I’m an excellent listener, patient, and very sensitive to the student’s needs.If you want to learn or improve your Spanish, French or English quickly and efficiently while having fun then drop me a line. The classes will be tailored to your specific needs.

great class, looking forward to regular classes again with Sebastian. He was even willing to take a ten minute break so that I could attend to my little boy. Merci!
I took a french course with Sebastian and he was great. He is a very personable guy. He also tailored the class to my needs. He is very easy to talk to, and has great insight into useful ways to teaching languages. I definitely recommend a class with him, one on one, or a group setting, I've had both now, and they were both helpful in their own ways.
I was truly impressed by Sebastian's methodology, personalized approach, friendly atmosphere in class and perfect understanding of what a student's requirements are! I do believe he will help me to improve a lot! Thank you and till the next time!!
Just had first session with Sebastian. He thought a lot just in one hour. Definetely worth to take lessons from him if you are going to take IELTS exam. Looking forward working with you again, Sebastian.
This is a LONG overdue recommendation I owe Sebastian as both his classes with me were wonderful. We worked on my French for an hour and then moved on to Spanish for the next hour. Even though I ran into a number of technical difficulties, he took the time to work through them with me. The transition from one language to the other was seamless and Sebastian had the in depth knowledge to teach me both languages. Most important for me, he has the knowledge of a local for both of these languages so when learning with him, you will not sound like a textbook! If our schedules ever align again, I'd love to take more classes from him.
It's obvious that Sebastian spends much more time than 1 hour on each lesson. His structured lesson plan has been a lot of fun. He never seems rushed and takes time to just talk about what's going on in my life. Great class!
He's very thorough and takes the time to be prepared for me. He's really great. He makes Spanish fun. I definitely recommend him!
Sebastian has gone above and beyond by creating a 10 week lesson plan for us to follow, he's also been willing to purchase resource books for my lessons
This was my first session after the birth of our baby. I was tired and not prepared but wanted to practice my french. Sebastian was completely understanding and willing to work with the situation I was in.
Next year I am moving to Guinea. Sebastian has done a superb job tailoring the course to my needs, we just finished a video about the history of Guinea. He has spent a lot of time preparing questions for me.
Yet another great class with Sebastian. He is very encouraging. We are having a baby soon, Sebastian has been very flexible and able to fit lessons in with my schedule
Sebastian obviously puts a lot of time and effort into preparing for each lesson. He sends me everything needed ahead of time, a great tutor!
Sebastian made me feel very comfortable about learning for the first time. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone that is looking to learn.
Had a very enjoyable lesson with Sebastian. He did a great job getting conversation going which is the area of french I want to develop.
Another nice discussion. Sebastian has some great resources for interesting lessons. He is a patient teacher and has a natural teaching ability.
My lesson went well, the connection was very good, and Sebastian was very professional and friendly.
We had a great class. It appears has a lot of learning materials for all levels and he was able to have one ready once he knew my level. The conversation came easily. I would highly recommend him as a tutor.
Sebastian is a great teacher, comes prepared for his lessons, and is a lot of fun to learn from. Sebastian is highly recommended!
I had a french class not Spanish. Anyway we could speak several languages during the class. I think he is gonna help me a lot to improove my french, he is helpful, creative and a great personality. It was very pleasent and helpfull for a first time.
Sebastian is an excellent language tutor who really understands well the use of on-line technology in the teaching of languages. He is fluent in several languages and does a very good job of constructing and executing tutoring sessions.
I had the opportunity to get in touch with Sebastian few weeks ago and since that he always showed an amazing interest in is work as a teacher and a total natural bent to teaching.
Even if based on such a short period of time, I really appreciated his approach to the student in terms of efforts to provide not only stimulating material but also relaxed atmosphere in which learning is a pleasure.
I strognly suggest Sebastian to everybody is interested in practising with foreign languagues and he's looking for a confortable and professional solution.
