About Me

I’m a professional language instructor from Montreal,Canada currently teaching English at Bois de Boulogne College in Montreal.

Born and raised in Argentina, I have attended French immersion school since the age of 5 . At the age of fourteen I moved to Canada for seven years and subsequently returned to Buenos Aires, Argentina. In 2000 I came back to Montreal to complete my university studies. I am currently doing my Phd studies in hispanic and comparative literature at Université de Montréal.

I am perfectly trilingual in Spanish, English and French. Having lived and studied in many countries I am well attuned to the cultural particularities that underlie each of the languages that I teach.
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 Johns Hopkins University as a full time lecturer. In addition to being a Spanish instructor at the Université de Montréa I am currently teaching English and Spanish in the Quebec post-secondary system (CEGEP) as well as online where I also teach French.

I strongly 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.
Being passionate about teaching (and learning in the process) and having had the privilege to teach languages to students from around the world, I soon realized that an ideal language instructor should be an excellent listener, very sensitive to students’ needs, and of course patient. I honestly believe that I possess these essential qualities.

If you want to learn or improve your English, French or Spanish quickly and efficiently, while having fun, don’t hesitate in dropping me a line.

Claudio Barbanti 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.

Kim Caspari Sebastian's online classes are a useful, convenient, and cost-effective way to develop conversational and grammatical foreign language skills. I lead a busy life, but try to find time to study for and participate in the class.
