About Carlos
Native from Argentina
My name is Carlos Francia and I am a language enthusiast from Buenos Aires, Argentina. I also lived in Asunción, Paraguay for 10 years.
College
In 2011, I moved to the US and I later earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Linguistics at Rutgers University, New Jersey.
Experience
I’ve been teaching both Spanish and English since 2000. Most of my experience comes from my journey as an English language learner and from years of helping adults with their language goals.

I prioritize connected speech!
When somebody speaks, they usually blend most or all of their words together. This is called connected speech. When people speak naturally, they do not pause after every single word.
Connected speech challenges the learner because it is hard to tell where one word ends and the next one begins. This can happen even when the learner knows every word someone is saying.
Recommendations
Recommendations come from relatives, friends and acquaintances of the teacher
I participated in a zoom small group Spanish conversation class that Carlos led. He is very friendly and encouraging and a talented teacher. It was a fun group of people. I definitely recommend to anyone who wants to improve their ability to converse in Spanish.
For several years, I have been taking classes with Carlos Francia and will continue to do so because he provides useful and effective instruction. His degree in linguistics distinguishes Carlos from other teachers I have studied under since he knows the structure of languages and can communicate it in a clear and concise manner. Because of the way Carlos explains the language concepts, I have consistently improved my Spanish and am convinced that he will provide practical ways for me to continue my progress in the future as I attempt to speak at a high level. In addition to being extremely professional, Carlos is friendly, open-minded, and humorous which makes speaking to him in both Spanish and English a total joy. This is essential since I certainly would not want to take classes with a linguistics expert who is boring to speak to.
I have known Carlos for quite some time and I believe he makes an excellent tutor for anyone with a goal to better their understanding of the Spanish language.
Not only does he have a versatile knowledge of the subject at hand with his certified education, he has experienced the downfalls and challenges behind learning a new language.
His years of experience with English, on top his native language, makes him an expert in overcoming the difficulties in the articulations between English and Spanish. If you are especially interested in learning Argentinian Spanish, Carlos is a no-brainer.
I have had the opportunity of testing his knowledge of the language, and he has definitely contributed to my understanding as a result. His experience makes him great for not only beginners, but for more advanced students as well.
Carlos has the ability to teach with enthusiasm and with a sense of humor, which makes him an invested tutor that you’ll never get tired learning with.
I encourage those potentially interested in starting with Carlos to reach out to him! You won’t be disappointed with what he has to offer.When I made the decision to learn and study Spanish I was expecting to learn by memorizing words and phrases. However, Carlos Francia takes a different approach, using stories which allow me to learn the language in a natural progression over time. It's almost like I'm teaching myself while he explains the intracacies of conjugation, sentence structure and pronunciation.
Another benefit of his turoring is that his Spanish grammar lessons require me to revisit English grammar, which is improving my writing skills. It's a win-win in both languages.
I highly recommend Carlos as a Spanish tutor for those who want to really learn Spanish rather than just learn to read a dinner menu.
I studied with Carlos from 2004 to 2016. He took me from San Diego restaurant Spanish to teaching Spanish to my children. He is passionate about learning the core fundamentals of grammar, speaking and writing. I always enjoyed my lesson because Carlos is very personable and has a creative way that he crafts his lessons. Carlos is highly recommended!
It's impossible to speak with Carlos without experiencing his brimming enthusiasm for language and linguistics. He loves a healthy discussion or debate, and his passion is infectious.
While incredibly knowledgeable, he is also very good at breaking down complex concepts for people who are less familiar, and makes learning very accessible.
I can't recommend Carlos enough. I hope you get the privilege of working with him!Conozco a Carlos desde hace muchos años. Es una persona muy amable y respetuosa. Siempre buscando aprender y mejorarse. Como profesor es excelente, con mucha predisposición y paciencia para enseñar, brindando ejemplos completos en sus explicaciones. Recomiendo a Carlos para cualquier posición por su gran compromiso, profesionalismo, calidad humana y conocimiento.
I've known Carlos for many years. He is a very kind and respectful person. Always looking to learn more and improve himself. As a teacher he's excellent, with a lot of enthusiasm and patience, giving thorough examples. I strongly recommend Carlos for any position, based on his professionalism, warmth and knowledge.As Director of Latinas Unidas Program, YWCA Princeton, I had the pleasure of working with Carlos over the time he worked as ESL Instructor, and I was always impressed by his teaching and classroom management skills.
He is a truly gifted educator, he quickly develops a good rapport with his students, establishes solid routines and employs consistent and fair practice in his classroom.
Carlos is a hardworking, well organized committed teacher who has given much to our ESL students.

Carlos is an excellent teacher. As someone who began lessons knowing virtually no Spanish at all, he has been incredibly patient. Carlos tailors each lesson to my evolving level. He has a really encouraging teaching style and challenges me to continue to take risks. He can quickly shift teaching styles to try out new methods that meet my individual learning needs. He takes time to design and tailor each lesson to his students interests. I work in a school and he has helped me craft sentences that I frequently need to use in order to communicate with my students families. Lessons are fun, and filled with interesting facts about the Spanish language, and language in general (he speaks multiple languages). I've tried more traditional Spanish classes in the past, and I can confidently say that I have learned much more through my lessons with Carlos. I would highly suggest working with him!
Carlos and I have been friends for 7 years. From day 1 all we talked about was language, linguistics and language instruction. He always impressed me with the ability he has for capturing complex concepts and explaining them in simple sentences using examples that everybody can relate to. He is a good active listener who cares about how you interact with language.
I am a fluent Spanish-speaking attorney and Carlos played an integral role in helping me to master my Spanish skills early in my career. He is an amazing teacher, makes learning enjoyable, and I cannot give him a higher recommendation as an instructor. Not only is he incredibly talented at effectively teaching the specific Spanish skills needed for individual students, but he is fun, energetic, and I can honestly say that after several weeks of training with him, I consider him a friend to this day. If you are looking for a Spanish instructor, Carlos is the best I have ever met after years of taking Spanish lessons. Es la verdad!
I highly recommend Carlos. Great personality and sense of humor, keeps things light which makes learning Spanish fun. I have been tutored by Carlos for almost three years. He explains things in such simple terms which has made it easy for me to learn. His understanding of grammar and vocabulary is outstanding. He's made it easy for me to think and speak in Spanish. Lastly, he adapted his style to fit what was best for me.
I was a Spanish language beginner when I started to work with Carlos to improve my language skills so that I could undertake my business in Argentina more effectively. He tailored the lessons to include the basics needed to build a proper understanding of the language but also added vocabulary and phrases that I would encounter in business discussions. I cannot recommend Carlos's talents more highly.
Carlos has been my tutor in Spanish since 2004. Carlos is fun, personable, and focused on teaching you grammatically correct Spanish. Extremely creative and passionate is how I would label his teaching style. Since 2004 I have become very proficient in speaking, reading, and some writing. When my wife and I had children I started speaking only Spanish with them before they started bilingual school. With pleasure it can be said our children are bilingual and it started with Carlos.
I've known Carlos since he tutored me in Buenos Aires 14 years ago. Carlos cares about his students and can easily shift his teaching methodology to suit the student's manner of learning (visual, aural, anecdotes, etc). He can tell you a joke and explain (in two languages) why it's funny. High charisma, large vocabulary, and presence in the classroom makes his teaching methods suitable for adult or child, beginner or advanced. Highest recommendation.
I do recommend Carlos. He is not only an enthusiastic and helful teacher but also provides tailored-made professional classes based on the students' needs.
Gloria Peix.Carlos is a fantastic teacher. He REALLY understands language in many different ways (day-to-day usage, grammatically and linguistically) and he's great at explaining all of this to his students in a way that makes language fun and exciting. Most importantly it works - I made huge strides in learning spanish in just a couple months and I owe it all the Carlos. Plus, he's a good and interesting guy! Can't recommend him enough!
Carlos is a fantastic Spanish teacher. He is very knowledgeable and committed to his students.
I was Carlos' colleague (and friend) for many years; he loves to teach, is very engaging with students and he always finds a way to make lessons fun! Many of his students later become his friends. Also, Carlos is a language-enthusiast! He is the go-to guy for Spanish language fun facts, interesting verb tense combinations, and how to properly place your tongue to roll those Rs! :)
Carlos is a great teacher, he always comes well prepared to my class, with nice and very interesting class topics. A good mixture of grammar and new vocabulary. He is very patient and just nice to talk to. I recommend Carlos!
Carlos taught me Spanish when I spent time in Argentina about 11 years ago. I was impressed with his teaching skills, professional relationship with his students and commitment to his craft.
Very insightful, with a fantastic grasp of language and language learning in general. Contagious enthusiasm and endless patience. My #1 source for both Spanish knowledge, and language knowledge for many years now.
Carlos was my Spanish teacher in 2008 and since having being in Academia for 10+ years, I have never met someone more passionate about their work who takes genuine pride in sharing knowledge. He is an inspiration and wonderful educator.
I took Spanish lessons with Carlos for a year, in group sizes of 2-10. I’d never had any Spanish classes before working with Carlos and thanks to him I have a solid foundation for the language. He was flexible in scheduling and in teaching style, constantly adapting his lessons and homework to suit my needs and the needs of my classmates. He’s incredibly knowledgeable, and has a natural curiosity and interest in languages and linguistics that made every aspect of the lessons interesting. Highly recommend!
Carlos was an amazing language teacher. I met him through a mutual friend and began taking Spanish lessons from him shortly after. He was patient, thorough, and always prepared. Even though he is a native Spanish speaker, he had a more complete grasp of the English language than I did. Because of this he was so clearly able to understand where I was coming from as a native English speaker and help me connect the dots. He has a great sense of humor and is extremely passionate about language. I feel I learned more from him in a few months than I did in three years of High School Spanish.
