Since 2011, H\u00e9ctor Estrada has been teaching languages with a passion that transcends borders. Trained as an engineer, specialized in telecommunications management, and an avid academic traveler, he eventually chose to share his mother tongue, Spanish. He wanted to contribute to linguistic diversity and to the international success of people in the province of Quebec.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00ab J\u2019adore enseigner l\u2019espagnol et j\u2019apprends en m\u00eame temps gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 l\u2019interaction avec le groupe \u00bb<\/em>, he explains. To strengthen his pedagogical skills, H\u00e9ctor Estrada completed in Montreal a graduate microprogram in postsecondary teaching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A journey across several countries<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Before arriving in Quebec, H\u00e9ctor Estrada coordinated training programs for the Ministry of Defense in Venezuela for several years. He also worked as a visiting professor at the Universidad Mayor of San Andr\u00e9s in Bolivia. It was an experience that had a significant impact on his teaching approach. His pedagogy today is structured, open, and deeply international, shaped by his extensive academic journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The richness of human connection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n What he enjoys most is sharing his knowledge and experience, but also learning from the students: Teaching Spanish in Quebec brings stimulating challenges: welcoming learners with different mother tongues, backgrounds, and goals. One of his greatest strengths is his ability to adapt both his materials and his teaching style to the needs of each group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00ab Je suis surpris que l\u2019apprenant, en cherchant des mots ou des significations \u00e9quivalentes \u00e0 l\u2019espagnol, ouvre parfois des espaces de r\u00e9flexion pour les autres\u2026 et pour le professeur ! \u00bb<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
