Private Spanish Instructor

11 years ago
I sent a few of you this in a private message, sorry for the "spam" but I really want to find a good instructor!


I’m planning on moving to Guatemala, and obviously need to Speak Spanish better than I do now. I’m looking for a Spanish instructor, and was wondering if you could refer someone; I’d really like to find a Guatemalan tutor because I’ve heard such good things about the accent, and of course that’s where I’m moving. I want to take lessons over Skype (I’m back in the US for the time being and want to keep my Spanish up---I’ve done this before with a friend who lives in Nicaragua, she doesn’t teach anymore though), and I would like to find someone independent of one of the schools because they don’t pay their employees very well. I’ve heard they pay about $2.50/hour, not great. I paid my friend in Nicaragua a lot more than that using MoneyGram, it worked out pretty well.

I’ve tried calling some hostels and asked if they could refer a tutor, but that doesn’t seem to be getting me anywhere. If you happen to know someone or can send me the name/phone number of a few instructors that post the flyers up in the cafes and hostels, I would really really appreciate it!

Thanks very much,
John
