Teacher: Oscar Eduardo Revelo

My name is Oscar Eduardo Revelo, I have a Master in Latin Literature, a degree in Philosophy and a Diploma in Montessori Teaching. I am originally from Colombia and I have been living in Sydney for the last three years. As a teacher, I have ten years of experience teaching Spanish to children and adults which is my biggest passion, I am willing to share my knowledge and culture and learn from others. I have been working at Sydney Language Solution for two years and seeing my students make their first learning steps and developing their skills in Spanish as a second language, are the greatest pleasure and the reasons I chose this career. I’m a highly motivated person, team player and very passionate about my profession.
