About Mateo
Mateo grew up between Madrid and Mexico City, and later added French because the exam was supposed to be impossible. He treats textbook chapters and real speech as the same subject. Students practice both, out loud, every single lesson.

Reviews of Mateo Ruiz
“Worksheets and actual conversation in the same hour. He came home trying the subjunctive by accident.”
“Forty minutes and I was ordering, not reciting. I booked the month before the trip.”
