Konversation with Rodrigo Miró: Spanish Teacher, Father, & Zumba Instructor
Konversation with Rodrigo Miró: Spanish Teacher, Father, & Zumba Instructor
For this week’s Konversation, we interviewed Rodrigo Miró. Originally from Mexico City and Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, he currently lives in Seattle, WA. One of Konversai’s first users, Rodrigo has been a Spanish teacher on the platform for over two years. He is also the father of a four-year-old and a one-year-old. Learn more about Rodrigo and what he can offer you below.
Konversai: What does a typical day look like for you? This could include at work and/or outside of work.
Rodrigo: I spend time with my kids in the morning, and we go to fun places like the zoo, the library, and parks. I check if I can give a lesson in Konversai, and then I go to work. After work, I come back home and get the kids ready for bed time, and then I study for a little bit.
Konversai: How did you end up where you are today?
Rodrigo: I was super lucky to meet my wife Andrea when I was living in Cabo. I fell in love with her, and she wanted to live in the USA. I was not going to let her go that easily, so I moved with her. We are super happy, and I’m really glad she made me move and look for better opportunities.
Konversai: What is your favorite thing about what you do?
Rodrigo: Spending time with my kids, being able to see them grow, and be part of their progress.
Konversai: How did you decide to offer sessions on Konversai?
Rodrigo: When I first came to the USA, my sister-in-law told me about Konversai, and I thought it was a great way to meet new people, teach more about my culture and language, and earn some extra money. I love it.
Konversai: What do you like best about being a provider on Konversai?
Rodrigo: I love being able to teach people about my language. Being far from home makes me feel nostalgic sometimes, but when I teach Spanish, it is like I’m back at my country. I try to use the words that we use there and make it very traditional.
Konversai: Are there additional sessions you are hoping to offer on Konversai in the future?
Rodrigo: Zumba lessons.
Konversai: Why would you encourage a user to book a session with you (something unique about what you offer)?
Rodrigo: I feel like since I was never a teacher, the way I do my lessons is more natural. I like to make them fun and let the student lead the lesson. I work with what they want and with their Spanish level. I teach everything from jokes and slang to very important stuff. I do teach the basics and the right way to talk but in a very comfortable and fun way.
Konversai: Are there sessions that you are excited about taking with other providers on the platform? Which ones? What are you hoping to learn more about?
Rodrigo: I would love to learn more about math and real estate.
Konversai: What advice would you give to potential users who are looking to join the platform? What about specifically for other users who are offering sessions similar to yours?
Rodrigo: To potential users, all I can say is DO IT! Don’t even think about it. You have no idea how much you are missing out if you’re not already on Konversai! It is a great way to learn at your own pace and from home or whatever comfortable place that you want. And for the providers who offer something like I do, I would say keep it fun and enjoyable and be you.
Konversai: What do you enjoy doing outside of work and Konversing?
Rodrigo: Playing sports and spending time with my family.
Konversai: Anything else you want to share with our users and potential users?
Rodrigo: Enjoy your Konversai journey, and if you ever need a Spanish or Zumba instructor, do not hesitate to contact me.
