¡Hola! I am a teacher of Spanish as a foreign language at the University of Hong Kong and I am passionate about helping students learn Spanish in a practical and fun way. My teaching experience has been gained in schools, universities, and small online groups of individuals. Additionally, I am also an examiner of the official exams of the Cervantes Institute. In my spare time, I enjoy traveling, reading, and learning about different cultures.
I am a certified Spanish teacher with experience teaching in various settings including schools, universities, and online. My methodology is very practical and focused on my students practicing the language and learning from their mistakes in an enjoyable and positive way. I use ELE Actual Spanish books as a guide, but it is not necessary for students to buy them as all materials are included in the price of my lessons. During the week, students will have access to the Google Classroom platform to review the class's content, solve exercises as homework, and review materials and corrections I will provide.
Are you interested in learning Spanish in a practical and fun way? Look no further! Whether you are a beginner starting from scratch, a student with a basic level of Spanish, or someone who wants to learn Spanish for professional purposes, such as communication with clients and colleagues in a business environment, my practice-focused methodology will help you achieve your learning goals. With all materials included and access to the Google Classroom platform, you can learn at your own pace and review materials outside of class. So why wait? Book a trial lesson with me and start speaking Spanish confidently! Hope to see you soon!

Speak Spanish with confidence | Native Mexican teacher
¡Hola,soy Marlene! 😃I live in Puebla City, one of the main cities in Mexico. I studied architecture and music. As a Spanish tutor, I have taught over three years to people from all over the world.
Have you ever had or overheard a conversation where you couldn't understand anything because it's not what you've learned in books? Don't worry, in our classes we will learn how we really speak in everyday situations 😉.
I consider myself a very patient and dynamic person, so the classes with you will be personalized according to your needs and interests. I will help you with grammar, pronunciation, Mexican slang, or just have a very pleasant conversation. Conversation is the most important activity when learning a language; that's why from the very first class, we will be speaking Spanish.
I will very happy to meet you!😀

Certified Spanish Tutor with 20 years experience, who will get you speaking!
¡Hola! My name is Pablo. I am a native Spanish-speaking tutor from Guatemala.
With over 20 years of teaching experience, I can help you reach your Spanish goals. I have a teaching certificate from the University of San Carlos and have taught Spanish in schools, universities, and online. I teach from beginners to advanced, and my students range from school students to 80 year olds!
In the first lesson, I'll find out your Spanish level and interests to customize lessons that inspire your learning journey. For instance, if you enjoy films, we can include movie discussions. Don't worry if you are new to Spanish as we can begin from the basics.
For school students, lessons are tailored to match your school curriculum, and we will work towards achieving the highest grades. For adults, the lessons are focused, practical and fun. You will learn Spanish language skills to apply to real-world scenarios. You can go from knowing no Spanish at all to soon putting together your own sentences. Whilst I use a textbook to provide structure to the lessons, I also use other resources from YouTube videos to Spanish-speaking film clips.
Since I am from Guatemala, I love sharing with my students, the richness of Latin American culture and customs! I am a very patient person and also have a good sense of humour so it's never a dull class. Above all, I prioritize making Spanish learning enjoyable and personally relevant to you. Teaching is my passion, and I believe being patient and empathetic ensures a positive learning experience. Your Spanish lessons will be enjoyable and rewarding!
I encourage you to book a free trial lesson with me!
¡Hasta pronto!
Pablo

Speak Spanish with Confidence | Real Conversations for Professionals
Hi, I’m José.
Most of my students already understand Spanish…
but they struggle to speak clearly and confidently in real conversations.
That’s exactly what I help you fix.
I’m a native Spanish teacher from Spain, with international experience living and working in Ireland and France.
I’ve also worked as a professional trainer, helping people improve communication and confidence in international environments.
So our lessons are not just about learning Spanish — they are about actually using it in real-life situations.
My classes are practical, relaxed, and focused on speaking.
We work on:
- expressing your ideas clearly
- building confidence step by step
- speaking naturally without overthinking
I mainly work with professionals and motivated learners who want to move beyond basic conversation and speak with clarity and confidence.
My goal is simple:
👉 to help you move from understanding Spanish to speaking it with confidence

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do Los Angeles Spanish tutors charge per hour?
Our research suggests that the average hourly rate for private Spanish lessons in Los Angeles 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 are the differences between learning Spanish with a tutor via video call and learning in person with a Spanish tutor in Los Angeles?
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.
What's the best way to find a Spanish tutor in my area of Los Angeles?
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.
Do any of the tutors on LanguaTalk also offer Spanish lessons in Los Angeles?
Some tutors on LanguaTalk may also provide in-person lessons in Los Angeles, 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 Los Angeles 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
