About Me

I’m a professional language instructor from Montreal,Canada. I am currently a Spanish Lecturer at the Université de Montréal.

Born and raised in Argentina, I have attended French immesion school since the age of 5 . At the age of fourteen I moved to Canada for seven years, then returned to Buenos Aires, Argentina.I came back to Montreal in 2000 to complete my university studies. 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 at 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 have a B.A. in English literature. I hold a Master’s degree in Hispanic Literature from the and I’m currently completing my PhD in Hispanic literature at Université de Montréal.

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 assets is that I’m an excellent listener, patient, and very sensitive to students’ needs.If you want to learn or improve your Spanish, French or English quickly and efficiently, while having fun, then drop me a line. I am currently offering group classes which are very interactive and dynamic.

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.
