Want to find a Spanish tutor in Santa Barbara?

Hi, my name is Dulce.

I am a Spanish tutor with more than 5 years of experience in adult learning. I have taught Spanish in private settings and currently working as a Spanish instructor.

I have been through the challenging experience of learning a foreign language, so I know that learning a language takes time and a lot of practice.

Over the past years, I have had the privilege of helping many students speak Spanish fluently. For business/career, travel/ tourism, and many other purposes. So I’m confident I can help you too!

To make the learning process easier and more engaging,  I bring my lessons to your points of interest, passions, and hobbies, so the lesson is all about you.

There is nothing to fear. I use demonstrations (gestures, images, audio, and videos) to support comprehension and understanding. To consolidate the learning, I provide a friendly and safe environment that strengthens your learning process.  We will use the TPRS method (Teaching Proficiency through Reading and Storytelling) throughout the process. Role play, simulations, and fun activities among other resources will help you practice Spanish in real-life situations. 

If this resonates with you, book your lesson, and let's start building your Spanish. See you very 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.

Born, raised and based in Mexico City.

I've got more than 5 years of experience in language schools and online. I'm passionate about learning languages and culture through them.

I have studies in Hispanic literature and linguistics at UNAM. So, we can talk about many topics related to Latin America literature and culture or I can offer lessons with a linguistic approach: phonetics, grammar, lexicon, etc.

Thanks to this amazing profession as a Spanish teacher, I've had the chance of meeting students from different countries and backgrounds.

I'd love to help you improve your Spanish and teach you through culture, music and games.

What could you expect from my lessons?

° Conversation and pronunciation lessons.

° Grammar and reading. 

° Spanish for travelling.

° Spanish for bussines.

° Get to know about culture and music from Mexico and Latin American countries.

° Didactic material included (worksheet, books, videos, games, pictures).

PRONUNCIATION LESSONS

Our vocal apparatus is one more muscle that we have to exercise for better results. In our pronunciation lessons we are going to make each part of your mouth working out. This way, you will sound more natural when speaking not only Spanish but other languages you intend to learn in the future. There's no matter if you are interested in a particular accent, I can help you anyways!

These are some items you can expect in your lessons:

° Shadowing practice.

° Articulatory phonetics exercises.

° Tongue twisters.

° Dictation of words.

° Reading short texts aloud.

So, when do we start? I'm waiting for you!

I offer conversation practice and structured courses, from absolute beginner to C1, grammar drills and homework if you wish. Wide experience with adults and senior students. I will provide you with notes and examples from our lessons, during the lesson in Google Docs, or after the lesson, via e-mail. You don't need to decide in advance if you prefer Latin American Spanish or European Spanish, I can teach you the main differences and help you decide. 

In our first lesson or trial we will figure out how your learning plan will be, depending on your individual needs, learning style and goals. If it's your first online lesson, there's no need to stress, I'm very understanding and patient. 

Oh and to tell you a little about me...I love animals, languages, reading and traveling.
