¡Hola! I'm Gaby

I'm a Professional Spanish Teacher, certified in Teaching Spanish as a Foreign Language (ELE) by International House Madrid and Spanish for professional purposes (EFP) by CIESE-Fundación Comillas—both institutions recognized by the Cervantes Institute.

About Me

• Native of Mexico with a broad experience living in various Spanish-speaking countries, giving me a rich, diverse perspective on the language.
• As a language learner myself (I’ve studied English, French, Turkish, and I’m currently learning German), I understand the challenges of acquiring a new language firsthand!

Teaching Approach

• Action-Learning Method: My classes are dynamic and interactive, designed to make learning Spanish both engaging and effective.
• Tailored for Your Needs: I start by assessing your current level and understanding your specific goals to build a customized learning plan.

Specialized Classes

• With an MBA certification, I also offer business Spanish classes, covering vocabulary and expressions for professional use.

What to Expect in a Trial Class

• Level Assessment: I’ll evaluate your current level and identify your learning objectives.
• Personalized Learning Plan: Based on your goals and needs, I’ll develop a study plan tailored just for you.
• Teaching Style Preview: This session also gives you a chance to experience my teaching style and see if it’s the right fit.

My goal is to make learning Spanish a natural and enjoyable part of your life. I look forward to helping you on this language journey!

¡Hasta luego!

I’m a native Spanish teacher from Ruzafa, Valencia (Spain), certified by Universidad de Nebrija. I'm teaching and improving my students skills since 2014. I can teach from conversation lessons to preparation for DELE certificates (from A1 to C2). I have experience in online and face to face lessons: my method is based on conversation (acquiring fluency) and expanding, in a practical way, your grammatical knowledge and vocabulary to improve. My interests are: music, finance, agriculture, chess, political news, psychology and reading. The priority is to advance in your Spanish with my help through practice and conversation.

Soy Miguel, nací en España, vivo en la ciudad de Valencia, en Ruzafa. 

Soy profesor nativo de español certificado por la Universidad de Nebrija: enseño y mejoro las habilidades de mis alumnos. Puedo impartir desde clases de conversación hasta preparación para certificados DELE (desde A1 hasta C2). Me gusta ser un profesor útil, que cada clase aproveche el tiempo, con planificación pero también con espacio para la improvisación y para el uso del español en un entorno relajado. 

Tengo experiencia en clases online y presenciales de español: mi método se basa fundamentalmente en la conversación (adquirir soltura) y en adquirir de forma práctica conocimientos gramaticales y de vocabulario. Mis intereses son, entre otros, la música, las finanzas, la agricultura local, el ajedrez, la actualidad política, la psicología y la lectura.

Hello there! My name is Luciana, I am a language tutor with 2 years of experience (both in-person and online classes).

**Please, if you can, select Google Meet as our class platform**

✨About me

I consider myself to be a very patience, disciplined, kind and creative person.

I am passionate about history, pastries, literature, linguistics, animals ( 100% dog lover! 🐕) and, of course, languages. So if you are interested in any of those topics we’ll make a good match :]

And if you don’t, that’s ok! I find very nourishing learning about topics outside my comfort zone.

I speak Spanish since i am a native speaker from Peru, with a neutral accent. I do speak English fluently, German and a bit of Japanese also.

✨ Methodology

I use a methodology based on research and methods proven by psychologists and teachers. My classes are ALWAYS prepared and structured to meet your needs. The methodologies i use are:

1️⃣ TPRS  (Teaching Proficiency Through Reading and Storytelling) and comprehensible input -> For learning grammar and vocabulary in a engaging, stress-free way!

2️⃣ Breaking down your favorite songs, stories and articles -> To practice reading, vocab and pronunciation!

3️⃣ Direct method (speaking only in Spanish for intermediate or advanced students) -> To strengthen your speaking and listening abilities

ALSO, i always explain grammar step by step and provide flashcards to remember vocabulary (based on the science proved method “Spaced repetition”).

I provide each of my students a personalized plan and homework based on their goals, needs and way of learning.

✨ Teaching Philosophy

I do believe that the ability we have for learning is truly a gift, as i said in the video “The ability to learn is a seed that, with love and  discipline, can grow into a beautiful flower or a juicy fruit”. As a tutor, my goal is to give you the best education possible so you can see progress and value the time and effort you are putting into the language.

I’d love to see you in my class soon!

Graduated in English Studies by the University of Alcala and certified as a Spanish Teacher with ELE title, I have more than 10 years of experience teaching English and Spanish. I have worked independently, in academies, in classrooms and also online. I was born in Argentina but came to Spain twenty years ago, therefore I know Spanish and South American culture to the same extent. I am also passionate about music and writing - I love exploring creative projects! 

I like to offer my students personalized classes so they can achieve their goals. To make the classes entertaining I like to use movies, videos, social media content, books or anything that can interest the student.

I am in love with languages, I started studying English and French when I was 14 years old. my learning experience was mainly with private teachers in my hometown.

I lived one year in Germany where I taught Spanish to many friends.  

I invite you to learn Spanish, you will be surprised how easy it can be.

I offer a laid-back type of teaching, yes, we'll use books, worksheets, exercises for homework (should you request them), etc. But the main goal will always be turning the lesson into a comfortable space where you can practice and learn that making mistakes is part of the natural process of learning. Most of my students are at a beginner level, but I also have experience teaching more advanced levels. I focus on grammar, structure and pronunciation, always looking to steer students towards sounding more natural. 

I'm from south-east Spain, my accent is quite clear and easy to understand. Book a trial and give me a try. See you soon.

¡Hola! Hi! Bonjour! Ciao! My name is Yessica, and I'm from Mexico. With five years of experience teaching Spanish online, I hold certifications from Cambridge and a certificate in teaching Spanish as a foreign language (ELE), endorsed by the Cervantes Institute.

I am passionate about teaching, languages, and cultures, which allows me to connect with people from around the world while helping them learn my language.

I welcome beginners with some prior knowledge, focusing on building their confidence and skills for further progression.

As a patient and committed instructor, my goal is to help you improve your fluency. I emphasize pronunciation and the correct use of vocabulary.

My classes are tailored to your needs, concentrating on either grammar or conversation based on your preferences and learning style. We will discuss general topics as well as subjects that interest you, often using articles, stories, and short videos.

I offer one-on-one classes for a more personalized learning experience.

Thank you for viewing my profile, and I hope to see you soon!

7 years teaching Spanish—wow! I specialize in ADHD-friendly, high-energy classes where mistakes are welcome and laughter is mandatory (seriously, no dull drills here).

After living in the U.S. for 6 years, I get it: that awful “ugh, I sound like a toddler in my second language” panic 😅.

My lessons? Grammar made fun, culture-packed conversations, and zero pressure. Plus, I’m a total nerd for cognitive hacks (like my Subjuntivo Punk Masterclass) that make tricky rules finally stick.

Ready to learn Spanish without the stress? Let’s turn “ugh, studying” into “heck yes, this works!

Do you want to speak Spanish naturally and feel comfortable in real conversations — not just pass tests? I understand how hard it is to turn grammar knowledge into confident speaking. I’ll make you feel relaxed, supported and excited to practice.

I’m a native Spanish speaker (also fluent in Italian), teaching full-time since 2021, with 5,000+ hours of lessons and many glowing reviews from students of all ages. I create a personalised study plan after an initial assessment and send short pre-class materials (readings, listening exercises, vocabulary and grammar notes) so you arrive ready to use what you learn.

Lessons are 1:1 and tailored to your goals — conversation-focused because that’s the hardest and most useful part. We’ll start by clearing doubts and correcting mistakes, then spend most of the time speaking about topics you care about: travel, work, daily life, culture, or exam practice. I’ve prepared students for DELE exams (A2 → C1) who passed successfully.

What I offer:

Warm, patient teacher who makes lessons comfortable and fun

Flexible scheduling (including kids) and materials for every class

Deep knowledge of Latin American and Spanish regional differences from living and traveling across the continent

Book a trial lesson and let’s design a plan that fits your level and goals — I’ll help you speak with confidence.

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.
