Do you want to speak Spanish with confidence and fluency? I can help you achieve your goal!

Hello! I am Blanca, a Mexican teacher with a Diploma in Teaching Spanish as a Second Language. I also have a Master's Degree in Psychology and have published a couple of books.  

I love reading, traveling, and discovering new cultures. I have lived abroad and I know what it's like to be in your shoes when it comes to learning a new language because I'm a language learner myself.

I became a Spanish teacher because I found a passion for teaching and helping people improve their language skills. I've taught Spanish to businessmen, engineers, university students, psychologists, school counselors, retirees, and travelers.  

I can help you improve your Spanish for working in a specific field, but we can also have interesting conversations and debates about literature, current events, cultures, history, politics, movies, gastronomy, sports, and travel.

My lessons are tailored to each student, depending on their interests and goals. We can watch videos and tv-series, read books and interesting articles, write emails, and discuss different topics (including traditions and culture of Spanish-speaking countries).  I provide students with lesson notes, practice exercises, and examples.

My goal as a teacher is to make sure you can express your thoughts and can communicate spontaneously in Spanish, that's why since the first lesson with me, you’ll find yourself speaking Spanish.

Book a lesson with me! I'd love to help you take your Spanish to the next level!

Our lessons for beginner follow a sequential program, each building on the last for optimal learning. By the end, you'll:

• Master fundamental Spanish structures and grammar.
• Command the top 1000 words, using them fluently.
• Develop a natural and clear Spanish pronunciation.
• Gain insights into cultural nuances.
• Discover your unique learning style and effective strategies to advance your Spanish.

Periodic written and spoken assessments will ensure we stay on course. 

I will create flashcards for you to review the notes of each lesson and provide detailed homework to ensure you use your time effectively outside our lessons too!

Hi! My name is Vanessa, I am from Peru and I currently live in Washington State, in the US. Besides being fluent in Spanish and English, I speak Portuguese (C1) and French(B1).

I have been teaching online since 2018. Being a language learner myself, I know what the most common challenges are when learning a language and the most successful ways to overcome them.

In my opinion, the easiest and most memorable way of learning is having fun during the process. That is why I aim to provide you with a supportive, engaging and thought-provoking environment in which your oral production will take the lead role. Having said that, I am very flexible, and I will adjust my methods according to your specific needs and requirements. On every session, corrections made will be provided on a customized Google doc, so that you can always refer to it whenever you want to study and keep track of our lessons.

It will be my pleasure to help you to build up your confidence and fluency in Spanish. See you soon!

Hi! Welcome! 👋

Just a quick note before booking:  

🚫 Please note: I am not currently accepting students for General Spanish classes, except for DELE exam preparation.

Thank you for understanding, and I wish you the best of luck on your Spanish-learning journey!

Since August 2018, I’ve been teaching Spanish through Italki, Babbel, Lingoda, and other online platforms, as well as in person at language schools in Barcelona, Playa del Carmen, and Mérida.

In 2019, I began preparing students specifically for the DELE exam, with a particular focus on the Oral Expression and Interaction section. Over the years, this has become my main area of expertise, which is why I’ve decided to focus exclusively on DELE speaking preparation going forward. 🎯 I know what examiners are looking for, what can affect your score, and why candidates sometimes lose points. 🔎

Are you planning to take the DELE exam? 🚀

I specialize in preparing students for the DELE Speaking section, one of the parts of the exam where candidates often struggle the most.  I am a Certified and Officially Accredited DELE Examiner by Instituto Cervantes for all levels (A1–C2). 🏆

DELE Preparation — Speaking Section 🗣️

Hello everyone! I'm Angie.

I'm from Bogotá, Colombia, and I’m a certified English teacher with a bachelor’s degree in Teaching English as a Foreign Language. My native language is Spanish, and I’ve been living in the United States for the past five years.

I’ve had the pleasure of teaching students of all ages — from young children to teenagers and adults — which has helped me develop a variety of activities and strategies tailored to different ages, needs, and learning styles.

I’m really looking forward to seeing you in my classes!

¡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 comfortable expressing themselves and learn at their own pace.

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. Since I am also a doctoral student I only have a limited number of hours. However, I have a flexible schedule and if you don’t see a time that works for you we can discuss an alternative during the trial lesson.

Hope to see you soon!
