María F
Certified Spanish Teacher for All Levels
Hola! My name is María and I'm from Mexico.
I have 3 years of teaching experience. I majored in Languages from Universidad de las Américas Puebla and I obtained a certification to teach Spanish as a foreign language. My classes use a blended methodology that incorporates grammar and communication activities in a laid-back and dynamic way. I have hand picked or created all the materials according to the needs of my students and I often use resources like audios, videos and games to make the lesson more interactive. My main goal is to help my students feel confortable expressing themselves and learn at their own pace.
I have studied several languages including French, German, English and Italian. My favorite part of language teaching is getting to know the cultures and interests of my students. I'd be happy to work on a plan that fits your needs. You don't need any previous experience learning Spanish or a foreign language. If you're ready to start learning book a trial class with me or message me with any questions.
Hope to see you soon!

Learn Spanish in an IMMERSIVE WAY👂👀 through a COGNITIVE approach! 🧠
My experience teaching Spanish has shown me how effective it is to have an immersive approach. This helps the student to use the linguistic resources they already know and thus gain confidence in speaking more quickly 🗣
I offer a close accompaniment and guidance to discover the fundamental mechanism of the language. I will take into account where we start from and your goals for learning Spanish 👩🏫
Also, I propose you to get into cognitive learning. But what does this concept mean?
Cognitive learning is a pedagogical method that is based on experience and the processing of acquired information in order to assimilate knowledge. I plan my classes using different materials and resources that allow you to enter into context so that you can better retain what you have learnt.
My name is Mercedes and I am from a beautiful city in the south of Spain called Cádiz. I have been teaching Spanish for more than 10 years and during this time I have learnt a lot teaching both in person and online. I was able to start my teaching path in the lovely capital city of Scotland, Edinburgh 💙
I am certified as a Spanish language teacher through International House, a worldwide Organization that stands up for a communicative method.
I enjoy my work very much and would love to help you 🙌🙌
Book an initial consultation with no obligation. That way, you will be able get to know more about me and my methodology. I will be happy to hear about your reasons for wanting to learn Spanish.
¡Te espero! 🙋♀️

Monica T
Certified Spanish teacher of 7 years / 6,800 hours taught.
Hello! I am Monica and I am a certified Spanish teacher with more than 7 years experience teaching Spanish to people from all over the world.
I have many hours of teaching experience, as from 2016 to 2019 I worked in a Spanish academy in my home city, Medellín, where I worked 40 hours per week teaching Spanish as a foreign language; I had 1-to-1 sessions and also groups of up to 6 students; the classes were amazing and I loved the experience since I could meet people from a range of cultures, thanks to that I realised that there are extraordinary people from every corner of the world.
Since 2019 I have been working as an online Spanish teacher. I am studying a master's degree and dedicating free time to my favourite hobbies: Cooking, salsa dancing and swimming.
My lessons are planned to be enjoyable and comfortable. I use the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages and I love getting to know my students well as it allows me to tailor each lesson to their personality and way of learning; every lesson you have with me will be carefully prepared for you, I hope to meet you soon!

Frequently Asked Questions
Do any of the tutors on LanguaTalk also offer Spanish lessons in Calgary?
Some tutors on LanguaTalk may also provide in-person lessons in Calgary, but most only offer online lessons as it is more convenient and allows them to work from home. Additionally, most tutors are not located in Calgary because they are living elsewhere in the world. If you book a lesson with a tutor, you should assume that the lesson will be conducted online.
How much do Calgary Spanish tutors charge per hour?
Our research suggests that the average hourly rate for private Spanish lessons in Calgary is between $25-$35. Since online tutors don't have to travel to you and often live in countries with a lower cost of living, their hourly rate tends to be significantly lower.
What's the best way to find a Spanish tutor in my area of Calgary?
If you prefer in-person lessons over online learning, LanguaTalk may not be the best fit for you. Instead, you can search for a tutor on a local service listing website or place an advertisement in your area. However, we do encourage you to try online learning – you have nothing to lose by booking a free trial session. Many students find that the online experience is just as good as in-person learning, with the added benefit of access to higher quality tutors at a lower cost.
What are the differences between learning Spanish with a tutor via video call and learning in person with a Spanish tutor in Calgary?
Some students might be unsure about learning Spanish online because they think it will be very different from in-person learning. However, many students find that the online experience is similar and they often develop strong relationships with their tutor.
Once you start a video call with your selected tutor, you'll be able to communicate with them as if you were in the same room. The tutor may also share learning resources with you (such as newspaper articles or YouTube videos) and you'll be able to collaborate in real-time using tools like Google Docs or Dropbox Paper.
If you're new to LanguaTalk, we'll provide you with a credit for a free trial session. Many, but not all, tutors offer these for free. If a tutor does not offer a free trial, the trial price will be 30 percent of their full lesson price, allowing you to still try a session at a reduced cost.
Trial sessions last 30 minutes. They allow you to determine if the tutor is a good fit for you and get a sense of what online learning is like. The tutor will assess your level and try to understand your needs and interests so that they can tailor any lessons you choose to take. You'll be encouraged to speak as much as possible in Spanish, but you can also speak in English if needed.
If, after your trial session, you don't feel that the tutor is right for you, you can book a trial with another tutor for 30 percent of their full lesson price.
Most students take 55-minute lessons. However, some tutors also offer the option of 30-minute lessons. If this option is available, it will be noted on the tutor's profile (below their pricing and above the 'Buy Lessons' button).
In general, 55-minute lessons are recommended for most students. 30-minute lessons may be suitable if you're taking lessons for your child or if you have an intermediate level and only want conversation practice.
Lessons are taught one-on-one to ensure that you receive customized instruction. During the lessons, your tutor will use a variety of teaching methods and resources, including language exercises, conversation practice, and cultural notes, to help you reach your learning objectives.
All lessons take place via video call. Your tutor will normally give you a choice of calling tools, all of which are easy to use.
LanguaTalk offers personalized 1-on-1 Spanish lessons with top-rated tutors. Here's how to get started:
1 - Find a tutor that meets your needs by reviewing their videos, reviews, pricing, and availability.
2 - Book a trial lesson. Many tutors offer a free 30-minute trial, while others offer a discounted trial price.
3 - Have personalized lessons with your chosen tutor via video call. Or try a different tutor if desired.
You don't need to provide credit card information to book a free trial session. Please only book a trial if you're seriously considering taking lessons. Tutor prices vary, and you can use the filter to find one that fits your budget. You can pay for individual lessons or purchase a package for a discount (view a tutor's pricing options on their profile).
We're confident you'll enjoy learning on LanguaTalk. Our platform is trusted by students worldwide because of our transparency. We ask students to rate each lesson, and we display these ratings on tutor profiles.
99.8% of lesson ratings are 5 stars. This is because we only accept the top 10% of tutor applications, unlike other platforms.
