About me
My name is Jacobo Rouces González, and I have worked in a range of fields including computer science, computational linguistics and language teaching.
I have a PhD in Computational Linguistics from Aalborg University in Denmark, a MSc in Computer Science from the Technical University of Denmark, and a BSc in Telecommunication Engineering from University Carlos III in Madrid.
I have experience teaching undergraduate and graduate courses in the fields of Computer Science and Natural Language Processing. I have also supervised and co-supervised pre-grad and postgraduate students, assisting them in publishing their results. I have published in regional and international conferences and journals in Computer Science, Computational Linguistics and Artificial Intelligence.
I also have experience teaching languages, mostly Spanish and English, at different levels. This started as an odd job because I wanted a break from post-late-2010s AI research, but I ended up turning it into a more regular occupation because I like languages – or language in singular.
At a fluent level, I speak Spanish (native), English (C2), Danish (C1), and French (B2).

Sean Emery, Data Analyst at Welld Health
Jacobo is a great teacher and very detail-oriented. He is always ready to go in-depth explaining any questions you have outside of the regular exercises. He is very friendly and has a very organized teaching structure. I feel like I am gaining a very strong foundational understanding of grammar and sentence structure that will make continuing my language learning journey simple.
Kay Wisnowski, designer
Jacobo is a great tutor with a ton of high quality resources. His general knowledge of languages is impressive and he makes difficult concepts easier to grasp. Definitely would recommend him to anyone looking to improve their Spanish, no matter what level!
Dan Garrick, Chief Business Development Officer at Saesco Medical Group
Great teacher and very nice.
Ben Serota, Group Product Manager | Computational Neuroscientist
Jacobo's linguistic knowledge and general attentiveness is incredibly valuable and practically helpful. I recommend him to the highest degree, especially for advanced learners who seek accurate corrections and explorations into the Spanish language.
Cheryl Cooke, Senior Lecturer at Buckinghamshire University
Jacobo is a wonderful teacher! Really enjoying the depth of his knowledge and the history of the language that he brings to each class. Highly recommended!
Joshua Matthew Scheetz
Jacobo has been extremely professional, concise, and helpful. All my lessons so far have been directed at my goals and very informative. I would highly recommend him as a teacher if you want to learn proper grammar and correct Spanish!
