Carlos Sunza

Carlos Sunza is a Spanish educator and self-taught jazz and classical music composer from Mexico. For the past ten years, Carlos has taught Spanish to students online and in-person using different tools like music and video games. He is a dynamic teacher who builds strong rapport and adjusts his curriculum to meet the needs of his students.

Coming from a missionary family, Carlos spent his childhood and part of his teen years moving frequently among various locations in Mexico, which allowed him to learn more in depth about the different cultures, peoples, and places of his home country.

Carlos studies global studies, Spanish, and anthropology at Purdue University in Indiana, where he has lived for the last five years with his wife.

Carlos enjoys hiking and camping, going for long walks, runs, and bicycle rides. In his leisure time he plays different musical instruments such as the drums, the upright bass, the cello, the piano, and the trombone. He also loves reading and some of his favorite authors are Mario Benedetti, J.R.R. Tolkien, and Juan Rulfo.

Teaching Philosophy & Approach

I believe that teaching is a reciprocal way of learning because it allows the student to learn something new and the teacher to improve their skills. I also believe that learning begins with friendship and trust, that everyone is capable of teaching something to somebody else, and that one’s knowledge, no matter how little, matters and should be preserved.

Growing up, the teachers that impacted my life in the most positive ways were ordinary people whose sole interest was to inspire me to dream and always be curious. I know now that I want to honor their legacy by being truly invested in my student’s success and growth.
