About Dialogo Utópico (me)
Researcher, professor, and journalist from Madrid,
with a master’s in Pedagogy.
I teach Spanish with passion and care.
Our story
Teaching Spanish has emerged as a newfound passion for me, a role that blossomed during the pandemic, and I'm thoroughly enjoying it.
Initially, I sought to ease the pace of the precarious and demanding work in the academia, and foster more fair, dignified, and caring labor relationships.
Teaching independently emerged as a splendid option to fulfil these aspirations.
My educational background includes a first degree in Forest Engineering, a master's in Organic Agriculture and a PhD in Agroecology.
Over the years, I've honed my communication skills through editing books, publishing scientific papers, writing essays for newspapers, and creating content for radio shows. Lately, I've started teaching at a Master's program in the
School of Architecture in Madrid.
Although I hail from Madrid, I currently reside in Athens, Greece.
Me as Teacher
I have a Master in Pedagogy and I follow, among others, the pedagogical methods of Paulo Freire or Francisco Ferrer i Guardia.
As these pedagogues, I believe that the educational process must be a process of mutual relationship. Teachers are only facilitators and knowledge is produced jointly between teachers and students.
I dream that we can build our utopian worlds through dialogue and direct action. Dialogo Utópico

My lessons and teaching style
​​You’ll learn Spanish through inclusive language, enabling us to produce our realities and subjectivities with freedom.
We’ll approach together the logic of the Spanish language, through its historical influences, structures and phonetics.
We’ll cover Spanish vocabulary and grammar while exploring our
shared interests.
We’ll prepare every lesson in advance.
Generally, I will suggest a research topic, or to read an article, watch a documentary or listen to a podcast. During our lessons I will partially transcribe our conversation, highlighting those elements that we need to discuss together.
The idea is to create a real bond between the student and the tutor,
and in so doing
build a ‘safe space’.
