Searching for a Spanish tutor in Skokie?

Hola a todos, me llamo Luis y vivo en Cáceres, España. I live between Madrid and Seville, so my accent is kind of in the middle of these two. I am a methodic teacher, I use "The Thinking Method", combining Transferrable words from English and the most common words in Spanish to build up those sentences to achieve better communication. I also love history and culture (film, music, literature, geography) ¡Nos vemos en clase!

1. Are you living in Spain or any other Spanish-speaking country but struggle speaking to locals in their native tongue?  
2. Do you want to broaden your knowledge of Spanish and impress the waiter/waitress next time you decide to eat out?  
3. Do you ever take a bus and find that you are nervous and embarrassed when you don’t know how to say where you want to go?

Would you like classes that adapt to your pace, skills and hobbies? 

I'm an enthusiastic  tutor with lots of experience in teaching, my classes are interactive for all ages  

I can help you speak confidently and clearly, I'm friendly and easy to talk to. 

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:

- 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 degrees from university, 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 perfectly know how DELE exam works ;).

- 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 3 years of experience teaching adults in online platforms (+1300 hours taught).

- 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.

- 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!

Welcome to my profile! I'm Vivi, a passionate and dynamic Spanish tutor with a dedication to helping my students reach their full potential. 

My goal is to guide you on your journey towards fluency in Spanish, and to improve your speech and communication skills in a natural and engaging way. With my focus on quality over quantity, I believe that every lesson should be a fulfilling experience for my students.

I approach teaching with a spontaneous and interactive style, encouraging open discussion and correcting mistakes along the way. 

No matter your current level of Spanish, I have the expertise and materials to help you progress and become more confident in your abilities. Specializing in DELE exams and Spanish preparation for levels A1, A2, B1, B2, and C1, C2, 

I'm ready to take you to the next level!

NOTE LESSONS FOR GROUPS: Trial lessons are individual. If you are a group of learners please purchase a lesson for each member. Lessons for groups cost the same like a individual lesson for each member. Max 3 people per group. Thanks for understanding. 

I have been teaching Spanish and English for more than ten years. My experience has taught me that basing lessons on conversation helps to improve language level more quickly. Grammar and vocabulary can be dealt with as part of the process rather than in isolation.

After a needs assessment, lessons will be adapted to your specific needs, and on this basis I select the best resources available. Learning a language can be a fun ride and by speaking with a native you will realize that you can communicate in Spanish better than you may think.

Any topic can be adapted for learning lessons, whether you like talking about literature, sports, geography or any hobbies you have. I am learning French myself, which helps me better understand the problems language learners face.

¡Nos vemos pronto!

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!
