Hello dear students!

My name is Cristina and I’m a Spanish / Catalan native speaker from Valencia (Spain).

If you find yourself thinking...

- I‘m stuck even after studying Spanish since childhood

- I‘m afraid others won‘t understand my pronunciation

- I can‘t think in Spanish, I have to translate everything

If that‘s how you feel, I can change that. Here‘s how I know:

1.  I hold a BA degree in Translation Studies from Valencia University and a MA degree in Legal Translation (University of Alicante). I have also a postgraduate certificate in Modern Foreign Languages Teaching from Canterbury Christ Church University. Apart from my university degrees, I hold certificates in teaching Spanish as a foreign language and in professional proofreading from European University of Madrid. And if that is not enough for you I am also an examiner for the Cervantes Institute, and that means that I  know perfectly how DELE exam works ;)
2.  I have 4 years of experience in teaching Spanish as a second language in a secondary school and a private company in Italy and another year of teaching experience in two Secondary schools in England. I also have 4 years of experience teaching adults in online platforms (+1500 hours taught).
3.  I use a communicative methodology. That is, I analyse your needs to create tailored and challenging lessons with the best resources to communicate and write clearly and effectively.
4.  I can guarantee a friendly and supportive environment during our lessons.

And lesson after lesson you‘ll get the strategies, practice and support to get unstuck, speak clearly and sound natural. You‘ll definitely be able to participate in discussions, feel in control when you speak and organise your thoughts in Spanish.

I have been studying and teaching languages most of my life and I understand the difficulties of learning a new language. So worry not and let‘s start this adventure together!

Cristina

Hello there! I'm a passionate poet, editor, and dedicated Spanish teacher originally from the lively streets of Mexico City. With a background in clinical psychology, I embarked on a thrilling journey of exploring diverse cultures worldwide. Now, I find immense joy in teaching Spanish remotely, guiding students on a journey that's both educational and delightful.

My teaching approach is akin to a leisurely walk in a sunlit park – relaxed, enjoyable, and immersive. I believe in breaking down language barriers through engaging conversations, cultural insights, and interactive lessons. With my extensive experience and warm teaching style, I make learning Spanish an enriching experience. Each lesson is tailored to make you feel confident and inspired, all while embracing the beauty of the Spanish language.

Additionally, my keen eye for grammar intricacies and my solid foundation in comparative grammar provide a unique edge to my teaching. I take delight in unraveling the complexities of language structure and making it accessible to my students. Exploring the subtle nuances of grammar becomes an engaging journey rather than a daunting task in my lessons.

I've had the pleasure of connecting with incredible individuals from various corners of the globe, turning language lessons into meaningful cultural exchanges. If you're ready to embark on a fulfilling Spanish learning adventure, I'm here to support you every step of the way. Together, we'll navigate the world of language with precision and finesse, ensuring your understanding is not just comprehensive but also deeply rooted. Let's make your language journey enjoyable, insightful, and, most importantly, successful!

¡Hola amigo! My name is Victor and I'm from Mexico. 

If you are looking for an experienced, funny and patient teacher, here I am. I've been teaching Spanish to people of different backgrounds and countries for more than 10 years. 

Besides my mother tongue, Spanish, I also speak English, German, French, Italian and I am learning Portuguese. I love teaching languages, to learn about cultures and traveling, that's why I'm ready and eager to help you learn Spanish. I will make you travel through my language and the Latin culture.

Teaching on line is something I really enjoy but I have also experience teaching different languages at the University, with all this knowledge and experience I can tailor my teaching to your learning method.

ME AS A TEACHER AND TEACHING STYLE

I consider myself to be an easy person to talk to, patient and fun. I have experience teaching different kinds of students from kids to adults in both online and classroom settings (more than 3000 lessons online + 3 years of classroom setting experience). I have been implementing a combination of the Flipped classroom and communicative approach into the lessons and so far, I have seen great improvement in my students' ability to communicate. My focus is to make you speak NATURAL and EVERYDAY Spanish, and understand Spanish speakers thanks to a system and a 30' routine.

TYPES OF LESSONS AND MATERIALS: 

🎥Action programme (B1-B2 LEVEL): we'll learn Spanish language and culture together thanks to the famous series called "AQUÍ NO HAY QUIEN VIVA". If you're an intermediate student this programme will specifically enhance your listening skills and will improve your performance in everyday situations so that you can connect effectively with locals.

📚Flipped classroom programme (A1-B2LEVEL): You'll be learning everyday language and culture during these sessions by affordable mini tasks that you can do in 30' a day. The programme will especially boost your speaking skills for everyday situations in an organized, structured and visual way. Materials will be sent every weekend (video lessons, PDFS, flashcards, grammar games...) and all skills will be covered. 

📚🎥Flex lessons: They can be a mix of structure lesson (the one above) and flexible lessons.

EXTRA:

⭐I give mini lessons on my social networks.

👩🏻‍🏫 Hi, future student!

I’m Paula, a linguist and experienced Spanish & Catalan teacher from Barcelona 🇪🇸.

✨ Degree in Linguistics with a specialization in Spanish + Certified Spanish Teacher for Foreigners (ELE) by the University of Barcelona.

✨ 12 years of teaching experience with private students and groups, both online and in-person, working with children and adults from all over the world.

✨ I also teach Catalan! 🏴

Every student is different, so I adapt my lessons to your level, goals, interests and learning preferences.

We’ll usually start every lesson by talking and getting into a real conversation. This allows me to understand your current level, identify the areas you need to improve and, most importantly, get you speaking Spanish from the very beginning.

As we talk, I’ll introduce new vocabulary, correct mistakes and explain grammar naturally when it comes up. I’ll also prepare exercises and activities based on what you need to work on, so we can practise grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation and speaking skills in a practical way. During our lesson,  I'll use an interactive whiteboard, where I write down new vocabulary, corrections and useful expressions. After each class, you’ll receive your notes as a PDF, so you can review everything whenever you want. 

Some students prefer to focus more on conversation, while others enjoy working more deeply on grammar and structured exercises. We can find the balance that works best for you. My goal is to create lessons that are useful, dynamic and enjoyable, where you can improve your Spanish while actually using it.

And don't worry about making mistakes, they're an important part of learning! 😊

During our first lesson, we’ll:

🏁 Get to know each other and have a relaxed conversation.

🏁 Check your current Spanish level.

🏁 Talk about your goals, interests and learning preferences.

🏁 Create a learning plan that works for you.

Whether you’re a complete beginner or already speak Spanish and want to become more fluent, I’d love to help you! 😊

¡Hola!

I'm Azahara, a certified Spanish teacher by Instituto Cervantes.

I have specialised in teaching Spanish to English speakers, but I have also taught international students in Thailand, Granada (Spain) and, of course, online.

My lessons are very dynamic and tailored to your needs.

I really enjoy teaching all kind of levels: it is very rewarding seeing the progress of a beginner student that starts to be able to communicate in Spanish after a few well structured classes whereas more advance lessons allow to very interesting topics and a little bit more freedom in the structure of the lesson.

¿Hablamos? Let's talk!

A little bit more about me: I was born and raised in Zaragoza, a small city in the North of Spain famous for its wine, food and a football team that used to be good. I love traveling and languages: currently I'm studying Japanese, but I also (try to) speak French, Arabic and Spanish Sign Language; so yes, I know how it feels learning a language from 0! You're not alone in this process and I'll try my best to make it easy for you :D

I have been teaching Spanish for 2 years now with students from all ages and nationalities😀.

Whether you are just starting or you have been learning Spanish before I can help you develop your Spanish skills so you can communicate with people that speak Spanish from every Spanish speaking country. Do not keep waiting.😁

I like to adapting my study plan depending on the needs of the student.

Did you know that 21 countries in the world have Spanish as an official language and 31 as an unofficial one? That means that if you learn Spanish you will speak the language that 15% of the countries on the world speak.

Don't forget to book a lesson so we can start working on your Spanish skills together. 😊

Hello! I'm from Guatemala, the country of eternal spring.

I lived in Costa Rica for more than a year, and I have traveled all over Central America.  I love being a Spanish teacher because through my students I also learn about their culture and traditions.  And of course my desire is to help them learn this beautiful language. 

Would you like to learn or improve your Spanish speaking skills?   You have found the right person!

I have been teaching this wonderful language for 18 years to different ages and levels. I am a very patient, flexible and smiling teacher.

My goal is to make you speak fluently and confidently, to make you feel comfortable and to have dynamic and fun lessons.

I adapt to the needs of each student. My classes are structured using student-friendly tools and I always focus on the four important skills: speaking, listening, reading and writing.

I have also studied theology and I am a bible teacher for children.

If you would like to talk a little bit about theology, I would be happy to help you.

I look forward to helping you learn this wonderful language.

Hello, I'm Ruth, and I am from Peru. I live in Cusco, the city of the Incas, where Machu Picchu is located. I'd love to be your future Spanish tutor!  Likewise, I've been teaching for a while, working with a diverse range of students. This experience has helped me understand how individuals learn at different stages of life. Also, my knowledge of English allows me to connect with students and help them grasp the nuances of the Spanish language. I really enjoy teaching and supporting students to master my native language, of which I am very passionate.

My teaching style is all about making learning fun and interactive. I'll simplify things for you, especially boosting your confidence in speaking. It's important to note that our classes are mostly conversational because speaking is where you'll truly master Spanish. However, I'll adjust the classes to your needs. We'll discuss topics you enjoy and apply them to practical scenarios, empowering you to communicate effectively in everyday situations.

During our classes, I'll be typing out your mistakes. It's easy for me to spot errors since Spanish is my mother tongue, and at the end of each class, we'll go over them together. I'll provide you with regular feedback. This way, you'll be able to track and measure your progress and see how you're enhancing your language skills.

Beyond teaching, I have several hobbies and passions. I have a deep love for engaging in meaningful conversations and building connections with people. Additionally, I find immense joy in immersing myself in nature through activities like trekking and wholeheartedly embracing new challenges.

If you would like to experience one of my classes, I invite you to book a free class with me, and we can work together to achieve your fluency and linguistic goals.

 I'm excited to see you in class soon!

Hi! I am Victor. I offer conversational classes. One of the best ways to improve in a language is by talking. The most important thing is to be able to live Spanish as a part of your daily life. Every little detail since you wake up until you go to bed. And always immersed in  things you like. So, we can talk about movies, books, history, traveling, food, sports, or any topic that is part of your life.

We can use videos, podcast, articles, music, books, newspapers, phases to start a conversation. We have endless topics. And I can help you with all mistakes you may have. If it is needed we can review grammar accordingly with your common mistakes. But do not forget that make mistakes is one of the best ways to improve. It is important for me that you feel in a safe space.

También podemos tener clases de conversación más casuales. Podemos hablar de un tema y te puedo mostrar algo de gramática de acuerdo a tus errores más comunes. La practica de conversación es lo que más ayuda para que puedas mejorar tu español.

I always adjust to your level. 

*For me the best option is zoom.
