I am qualified Spanish teacher from Málaga (Spain). I lived and taught in London for over 14 years before moving back to Málaga in 2019. I gained my Certificate for Spanish Teaching to Adults in 2011 from International House School of Languages, and I also have a Cambridge CELTA (for English teaching) from the same school, completed in 2020. 

I have taught Spanish to business professionals, at University, to GCSE, A Level and DELE students, and to learners who just take lessons for travelling or self-improvement. My previous and current students all come from multiple backgrounds, nationalities, abilities and levels of Spanish, from total beginner to advanced.

In my classes you will start communicating by simple dialogues (simple if you're a beginner) from the first lesson. I will focus on improving your pronunciation (something often overlooked by teachers); teaching you the grammar gradually, so you don't feel overwhelmed; enriching your vocabulary prioritizing your needs and personal interests; and improving your fluency. My students often praise my patience, my well-planned lessons and the fact that they feel relaxed to learn in class. I welcome mistakes (and correct them of course!) as a sure sign that learning is happening. You do learn a lot from your mistakes. 

As a lifelong lover of the arts and a practicing artist, I like to give my classes a cultural flavour, sharing relevant information about music, films, books and art. 

Looking forward to meeting you in class!

Hello! Welcome. I'm Natalí, from Buenos Aires (Argentina). I'm a Spanish teacher and I'm also studying to become a Music and Singing teacher. Languages, music, and teaching are my favorite things to do. I believe education is the fundamental solution to improving the world, which is why I love being a teacher.

I've been teaching for over 5 years. I mainly focus on the following cases:
- You're a beginner. You want to learn Spanish from scratch, or perhaps you learned a little in the past but you don't remember some things.
- You're about to visit a Spanish-speaking country and need to learn how to move around and socialize with native speakers.
- You have a partner or family who speaks Spanish and you want to communicate with them.
- You're an intermediate student.
- You want to move to Argentina and you need to learn about my country's culture and our specific Spanish.
- You're interested in Argentine culture, the voseo and our distinctive accent.
- DELE exam: I can help you preparing for the DELE A1 or DELE A2 exam.
- You want to improve your conversation skills.

How my lessons are?
1) I tailor classes to your personal needs and goals.
2) I prepare and provide all your study materials and practical exercises (PPT presentations, audio and video files, articles and news, books, homework).
3) I combine reading and comprehension, listening, and speaking practices to learn and practice the four skills: reading, speaking, listening, and writing.
4) I like to include cultural content (about my country and Latin America).

I invite you to schedule your trial class with me so you can tell me about your motivations, goals and needs.

Hi everyone! I'm Mariángeles and I'm from Huelva, a city near Seville. I have been working as a private teacher for over 10 years now. I really enjoy meeting new people at language exchanges, travelling and learning about other cultures.

 I lived in Milan for two years and in Dublin for a year and a half. Both experiences were unforgettable and I would like to share them with you.

Regarding to my studies, I have a degree in Tourism and a double degree in Humanities, Translation and Interpreting. Languages are my passion since I was a child and I will be more than happy to share my passion with you all. I am a very well-organised and peaceful person. 

During my lessons I always try to develop a relationship with all my students in order to discover their interests and make my lessons more interesting and enjoyable. For this reason, my motto is "make learning fun and practical".

During the lessons you will practice all the skills so that you can have a good command of Spanish.

We will go through different kind of activities: listening comprehension exercises, exercises about idioms and informal/formal vocabulary, formal/informal writings, rewriting exercises, etc.

I'm really looking forward to hearing from you and meet you. If you book a trial lesson you'll learn so many things and you'll have fun too! I'll be more than happy to help you with your Spanish :)

Hello, my name is Miguel, I'm from Colombia, and I'm a native Spanish speaker certified in teaching Spanish as a foreign language. My specialty is Spanish for beginners, and my classes are usually focused on conversational Spanish, but I can also help you with other things related to the use of the language and its grammar, or follow a textbook if you are already using one.

You don't need any previous knowledge of Spanish to take lessons with me.

These are some of the topics I can help you with:

• Spanish for beginners
• Conversational Spanish
• Fluency improvement
• Pronunciation improvement
• Accent reduction
• Use of tenses
• Grammar
• Reading comprehension
• Writing skills and spelling
• Improving your listening
• Expand your vocabulary

As a teacher, I use a communicative method that aims to learn a second language through real-life examples to be able to communicate in everyday situations. My classes are fun and effective. With me, you will learn grammar, vocabulary, culture, and we will focus on conversation. If you are a beginner, we can create a plan with the basic topics of Spanish so that you can start learning this wonderful language.

I hope to see you soon!

Hola!

My name is Samuel and I live in Madrid. In 2013 I got my Spanish teacher Certificate and since then I have been teaching Spanish in many language schools -in person and the last two years mainly online due to the pandemic. I have also taught group classes and individual one to one classes in companies. I have also helped many students to pass DELE exams.

I have a Philosophy Degree as well from Universidad Complutense. Madrid. I also really love to talk about a wide range of topics. I enjoy listening and learning from my students. Everyone has interesting things to say. With me,  you will be talking about things you like without noticing you are doing it in Spanish.

I can share with you many books, videos, infographics, newspaper articles etc in pdf format so that we have always fresh and juicy material to discuss. These last ones are a fantastic complement because sometimes the standard books for learning might be designed –what is fine- for generic purposes. Pdf files are included in the price.

I have taught students from every corner of the world and from  very different  backgrounds. I love learning from my students while I am teaching them.

I speak very fluent English so even if your knowledge of Spanish is 0 don’t be afraid. You will always be comfortable in my classes. I am also learning French so I haven’t forgotten how does it feel to be a beginner ;)

I hope to see you soon!

¡Nos vemos!

¡Hola! I'm Gaby

I'm a Professional Spanish Teacher, certified in Teaching Spanish as a Foreign Language (ELE) by International House Madrid and Spanish for professional purposes (EFP) by CIESE-Fundación Comillas—both institutions recognized by the Cervantes Institute.

About Me

• Native of Mexico with a broad experience living in various Spanish-speaking countries, giving me a rich, diverse perspective on the language.
• As a language learner myself (I’ve studied English, French, Turkish, and I’m currently learning German), I understand the challenges of acquiring a new language firsthand!

Teaching Approach

• Action-Learning Method: My classes are dynamic and interactive, designed to make learning Spanish both engaging and effective.
• Tailored for Your Needs: I start by assessing your current level and understanding your specific goals to build a customized learning plan.

Specialized Classes

• With an MBA certification, I also offer business Spanish classes, covering vocabulary and expressions for professional use.

What to Expect in a Trial Class

• Level Assessment: I’ll evaluate your current level and identify your learning objectives.
• Personalized Learning Plan: Based on your goals and needs, I’ll develop a study plan tailored just for you.
• Teaching Style Preview: This session also gives you a chance to experience my teaching style and see if it’s the right fit.

My goal is to make learning Spanish a natural and enjoyable part of your life. I look forward to helping you on this language journey!

¡Hasta luego!

My passion is helping professionals master conversational fluency quickly. I focus on real-world scenarios, so you can start applying the language immediately in travel and business. We can learn from the talk and in real contexts, colloquial situations and related to your goals, we will have a fun and very laughable class, practicing all the skills. I am able to teach Spanish from basic to advanced levels, I have experience preparing for the DELE exam. I usually use many tools that allow for student comfort, as well as a variety of activities that stimulate the progress and development of all skills, oral, auditory, written and reading.

Hello there! My name is Luciana, I am a language tutor with 2 years of experience (both in-person and online classes).

**Please, if you can, select Google Meet as our class platform**

✨About me

I consider myself to be a very patience, disciplined, kind and creative person.

I am passionate about history, pastries, literature, linguistics, animals ( 100% dog lover! 🐕) and, of course, languages. So if you are interested in any of those topics we’ll make a good match :]

And if you don’t, that’s ok! I find very nourishing learning about topics outside my comfort zone.

I speak Spanish since i am a native speaker from Peru, with a neutral accent. I do speak English fluently, German and a bit of Japanese also.

✨ Methodology

I use a methodology based on research and methods proven by psychologists and teachers. My classes are ALWAYS prepared and structured to meet your needs. The methodologies i use are:

1️⃣ TPRS  (Teaching Proficiency Through Reading and Storytelling) and comprehensible input -> For learning grammar and vocabulary in a engaging, stress-free way!

2️⃣ Breaking down your favorite songs, stories and articles -> To practice reading, vocab and pronunciation!

3️⃣ Direct method (speaking only in Spanish for intermediate or advanced students) -> To strengthen your speaking and listening abilities

ALSO, i always explain grammar step by step and provide flashcards to remember vocabulary (based on the science proved method “Spaced repetition”).

I provide each of my students a personalized plan and homework based on their goals, needs and way of learning.

✨ Teaching Philosophy

I do believe that the ability we have for learning is truly a gift, as i said in the video “The ability to learn is a seed that, with love and  discipline, can grow into a beautiful flower or a juicy fruit”. As a tutor, my goal is to give you the best education possible so you can see progress and value the time and effort you are putting into the language.

I’d love to see you in my class soon!
