Living in Christchurch? See Spanish tutors' reviews & videos
If you're unable to find an affordable private Spanish tutor in Christchurch for in-person language lessons, online learning may be a good alternative. To take lessons with a Spanish tutor in your area, you may have to pay more to cover their travel costs or travel to their home, and the average cost of private Spanish lessons in Christchurch is over $20 per hour. With online learning, you can save on travel expenses and have access to top tutors from around the world.
Many students who try online language lessons with a tutor are pleasantly surprised by the experience. At LanguaTalk, lessons are 1-on-1 to ensure you get your tutor's full attention and can make rapid progress.

If you're new to LanguaTalk, you'll receive a token for a complimentary 30-minute trial lesson when you create an account. Use this to evaluate your chosen tutor and decide whether you want to keep taking classes with them or look for a Spanish tutor in Christchurch instead. (Please note: not all tutors offer a free trial lesson - some charge 30% of their standard full lesson price.)

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! 🙋♀️

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do Christchurch Spanish tutors charge per hour?
Our research suggests that the average cost for private Spanish lessons in Christchurch is somewhere between $25-$35 per hour. As online tutors do not need to travel to you and they often live in countries with a lower cost of living, the hourly cost tends to be significantly lower.
How does learning with a tutor via video call differ from learning face-to-face with a Spanish tutor in Christchurch?
Sometimes students tell us that they're not sure about learning Spanish online because they think it’ll be completely different to learning face-to-face. But usually when they try it, they find that the experience is almost the same and they often build a solid relationship with their tutor.
Once you start a video call with your chosen tutor, you’ll be able to communicate with them as if you were in the same room. The tutor will typically also share learning resources with you (newspaper articles, YouTube, etc.) and you’ll be able to collaborate in real-time using a tool like Google Docs or Dropbox Paper.
What are the best options for receiving Spanish lessons in Christchurch?
Whether you live in the city centre or the suburbs of Christchurch, there are many options for learning Spanish. You could use an app or a software program if you're looking to pick up basic vocabulary and learn some grammar rules. Alternatively, you could attend group lessons with Spanish tutors in Christchurch if you're keen for a social experience. Or, you could take 1-on-1 lessons with a private tutor. This isn't the cheapest way to learn a language but it's possibly the most effective, assuming you have a good tutor. Learning online rather than face-to-face may make private tutors a more affordable option. Check the tutor profiles above to see how much it's likely to cost. Prices vary a lot depending on the tutor, but will usually be cheaper than learning with a Spanish tutor in Christchurch, face-to-face.
Do any of the tutors on LanguaTalk also provide Spanish lessons in Christchurch?
Tutors on LanguaTalk sometimes provide lessons locally, but most only provide online lessons as it is more convenient and allows them to work from home. In addition, most tutors are not teaching Spanish in Christchurch because they're living elsewhere in the world. If you decide to book with a tutor, you should assume that they can only teach you online.
What's the best way to find a Spanish tutor near me in Christchurch?
If you're really not keen on learning with a teacher via video call, LanguaTalk isn't going to be the right choice for you. You can instead search for a tutor on a local service listing website, or put up an advert in your local area. We do encourage you to give it a try learning online though - you've got nothing to lose as you can book a free trial session. Most people find the experience is as good as learning face-to-face, but with the benefit of having access to better tutors at a lower cost.
The vast majority of students take 55-minute lessons. But some tutors also provide the option of 30-minute lessons. If they do, you’ll see this noted on their profile (below their pricing and above the ‘Buy Lessons’ button).
55-minute lessons are recommended for most students. In general, we only suggest considering 30-minute lessons if they’re for your child, or you have an intermediate level and only want conversation practice.
The beauty of taking lessons online is that you can learn anytime, anywhere. When you choose a tutor, just check their calendar to make sure that they have available times that fit your schedule. Some tutors have limited availability as they already have a lot of students.
New to LanguaTalk? We'll give you a credit for a free trial session. Many, but not all, tutors offer these for free. If they do not, the price will be just 30 percent of their full lesson price, so you can still try a session at minimal cost.
Trial sessions last 30 minutes. They allow you to assess whether the tutor is a good fit for you, and get a feel for learning online. The tutor will assess your level and aim to understand your needs and interests so that they can customise any lessons you decide to take. You'll be encouraged to speak in Spanish as much as possible, but of course you can speak in English too!
If, after your trial session, you don't feel that the tutor is quite right for you, you can book a trial with another tutor for just 30 percent of their full lesson price.
Lessons are taught 1-on-1 so that you receive your tutor’s full attention and can make fast progress. Communicating via video call, you’ll be able to talk to your tutor and share learning materials as if you were in the same room.
The tutors vary in terms of their teaching methods, resources, experiences, and personalities. So we suggest you look at several profiles to choose the best tutor for you. Whichever Spanish tutor you pick, they'll aim to tailor the lessons to your individual needs.
On LanguaTalk, you can find exceptional tutors for 1-on-1 Spanish lessons tailored to your goals and learning preferences. Here’s how to try it for yourself:
1 - Find your ideal tutor by browsing videos, reviews, pricing and availability.
2 - Book a trial. Many tutors offer a 30-minute trial for free; others charge a discounted price.
3 - Take personalised lessons with your new tutor via video call. Or try someone else.
No card is required to book a free trial session. Please only book if you're considering taking lessons. Pricing varies by tutor and you can use the filter to find someone who fits your budget. You can pay one lesson at a time, or buy in bulk for a discount (open a tutor's profile to see their pricing options).
