Hola!  My name is Fabiola and I am a Spanish native speaker. I am Mexican currently living in Mexico and traveling around to different countries. 

What to expect from your trial lesson?
In your trial lesson, you’ll get to know more about my methodology, learn about your level, and receive feedback on your performance in class. The purpose is to make the most of our time practicing Spanish in a natural way. Don’t worry or feel nervous! I’ll guide you so you feel confident in this first lesson.

I invite you to join my Spanish Laboratory!
A laboratory is a space where you can experiment and learn through hands-on experience. In our sessions, you’ll enjoy a warm atmosphere where you can feel confident and express yourself naturally. Each session is designed to integrate conversation, listening, reading, and writing practice. Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced student, the classes will be tailored to your needs. The lessons incorporate a variety of engaging resources such as websites, videos, audio, newspaper articles, brochures, ads, and more. Through these materials, you’ll build comprehension skills and expand your vocabulary.

During each lesson, we’ll have moments of conversation and reflection on interesting topics. You’ll also gain insights into the culture of Spanish-speaking countries.

Types of Classes:

• One-on-one classes for beginners, intermediate, and advanced students
• Spanish for professional purposes
• Speaking workshops to build communication skills

I hold a Cambridge Certification in teaching English, which has helped me design a teaching method that considers Spanish from the perspective of English speakers.

You’ll receive feedback, new vocabulary, and materials at the end of each session. Furthermore, before each class, you’ll have access to useful materials to help you prepare for the next session.

Let’s build your Spanish skills together through dynamic lessons!

¡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

My name is Gloria. I was born in Barcelona but nowadays I live in a quiet place not far from the city. I am bilingual in Spanish and Catalan and I also speak English and French.

I have been teaching Spanish as a second language online since January 2015 and I have been teaching private classes in other topics to teenagers for about 15 years. Before teaching I had jobs related to my Higher Technical Certificate in Administration.

I know how hard is to learn a language, I know it because I earned two certificates in languages, my First Certificate in English at the Polytechnic of Central London and a Certificat de la Langue Française à l’ l’Alliance Française de Paris.

But what about my lessons? if you book lessons with me, we are not going to do only grammar. We are going to speak!

I will plan lessons according to your needs, level and desires and I’ll correct your mistakes throughout the lesson. I can help you with your pronunciation, vocabulary, expressions and grammar and we’ll focus on your needs based on our conversations.

Speaking is the most difficult goal to achieve and you’ll talk with me without any pressure. Step by step, we'll improve your ability to speak naturally.

If you have time to study on your own I’ll give you homework after the class.

But before you make a decision, you can book a trial lesson to find out if I am the right person to help you learn Spanish.

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!

🎓 MSc in Speech Therapy and Cognitive Neuroscience, BA in Spanish Linguistics and Literature, and Diploma in teaching Spanish as a foreign language.

📍Native speaker/Colombian.

📚 Spanish teacher since 2014. Experience with students of all levels- from beginner to advanced.

✏️Tailored curriculum for all students with activities and materials that reflect the actual use of Spanish E.g. audio, ads, texts, and interviews of native speakers.

📝In my grammar classes, the students receive detailed information on grammar issues following a designed curriculum that goes from A1 (beginner) level to C1-C2 (advanced) level. When practicing, we have a conversation and I give feedback using what they've learned.

In the conversation lessons, we focus on speaking and listening. I always promote debate and offer necessary corrections. We can cover a range of topics, e.g., current events, culture, science, philosophy, or even a topic proposed by the student beforehand.

My name is Esther and I live in Changwon, a beautiful city in the south of South Korea. I came to Asia to work in the 3D graphic design industry but end up falling in love with teaching languages and culture. To become a good teacher and help my students I got a Spanish Philology undergraduate degree, a master’s degree in ELE (teaching Spanish as a second language) and became a certified DELE examiner. I have experience teaching students from many countries and priorities, in academies and online.

As a Spanish teacher, I am very patient and give you time to express by yourself. I don’t only focus on the correction of the grammar or pronunciation, but also give a lot of importance to the ability to communicate ideas and navigate through specific cultural situations.

In our first lesson I will speak with you and will figure out your learning plan based on your learning characteristics, priorities, and tastes.

Hi! I'm Agustina from a small town in Córdoba, Argentina. This town was founded by Germans and the have build the first German school in the province. I visited this school and that was where I had my first contact with a foreign language. I love learning them but also teaching them because it is the most natural and efficient way to exchange ideas and learn about other cultures. In my city, Córdoba, I studied to become a German Translator and thanks to an agreement between universities I had the opportunity to do two exchanges in Germany. They were incredible experiences in which I met many interesting people, made friends and visited beautiful places. 

Besides Spanish, German and English I also have an elementary level of Russian. 

My hobbies are writing in my literary blog, doing sports and yoga, going out with friends, dancing and making crafts. 

I have 3 years of experience as an online teacher and I use several didactic resources to make the class entertaining and to provide you with an ideal environment for concentration and language learning. 

I enjoy creating my own teaching materials.

I work with the communicative method and focus my classes to the interests of the students. I like it when my students can loosen up and become more confident with me and the language and can start talking more. 

I work with different materials, I don't like to be glued to a book all the time, but I do like to use it for support and for some important grammatical questions. 

I like to use the material I design as my classes are personalized to the interests of each student. 

The support materials I normaly use are the books Aula Internacional and Prisma, as well as some websites that are excellent in terms of content and design and also very didactic, such as ProfedeELE or TodoELE, among others.

Spanish conversation practice for adults. 💬

¡Hola!-Hello!

My name is Metzly, a Mexican who loves music, art, and cats!  

I like to help people to speak Spanish with confidence, even on the first levels of the language.

My goal is to build a fun, safe, and no-pressure learning environment for you. So, mistakes are encouraged!

PLEASE NOTICE THAT I ONLY WORK WITH INTERMEDIATE STUDENTS, THANK YOU!

After you book a trial lesson with me, I'll send you a comprehensive test that will allow me to determine your Spanish level. I like to focus on students' pronunciation and effective use of language.

My lessons are "Conversational Spanish"; if you are on a basic level, like A2+ / B1, we can have a more structured lesson.  

If you don't understand a specific grammar topic, we can discuss it and use some examples -related to your life-.  

We can also use pictures, paintings (my favorite way of practicing a language), videos, or anything that will help you to talk in Spanish.

Hi, student! Are you beginner in Spanish? Intermediate? Or maybe you are already advanced?  I'll tell you how I can help you depending on your current level.
-Beginners: I love working with beginners! I will adapt to your pace and your learning style. We will work on the basics of Spanish and, without realizing it, you will learn about the feared Spanish grammar :)
-Intermediate: excellent! Let's talk and continue developing your skills. I will always give you feedback and explain the grammatical content to continue advancing.
-Advanced: let's have conversations about everything! News, music, culture... Whatever you want! We will improve what is necessary.

A little about me...
- I'm from Buenos Aires, Argentina.
- I have been a Spanish teacher for years, I love my job.
- I love music, I am a singer.
- I consider that education is the fundamental solution to improve the world, that is why I dedicate myself to teaching.

What characterize me?
1) I personalize the classes to your needs and personal goals with the language.
2) I prepare and provide all your study materials and practical exercises (presentations PPT, audio and video files, news articles and homework).
3) I combine reading, listening and speaking excercises so you can learn and practice all the four different skills.
4) I like including cultural content (about my country and about Latin America).
5) Plus: if you are interested in Argentine Spanish (from Buenos Aires) I can show you the characteristics of "voseo" and its conjugations. In addition, we can focus the classes on the Argentine accent and its special pronunciations.

I invite you to schedule your trial class with me so you can tell me about your motivations, objectives and experiences (if any) with Spanish.
