Hola estudiante, 

I am qualified Spanish teacher from Málaga (Spain). I lived and taught in London for over 14 years before moving back to Málaga in 2019. I gained my Certificate for Spanish Teaching to Adults in 2011 from International House School of Languages, and I also have a Cambridge CELTA (for English teaching) from the same school, completed in 2020. 

In 2025 I became a Qualified Examiner for DELE exams (Diplomas de Español como Lengua Extranjera), the official certificate that proves a student's level of procifiency in Spanish. 

I have taught Spanish to business professionals, at University, to GCSE, A Level and DELE students, and to learners who just take lessons for travelling or self-improvement. My previous and current students all come from multiple backgrounds, nationalities, abilities and levels of Spanish, from total beginner to highly advanced.

In my classes you will start communicating by simple dialogues (simple if you're a beginner) from lesson 1. I will focus on improving your pronunciation (an aspect often overlooked by tutors); teaching you the grammar gradually, so you don't feel overwhelmed; enriching your vocabulary prioritizing your needs and personal interests; and improving your fluency. My students often praise my patience, my well-planned lessons and the fact that they feel relaxed to learn in class. I welcome mistakes (and correct them of course!) as a sure sign that learning is happening. You do learn a lot from your mistakes, if examined correctly. 

As a lifelong lover of the arts and a practicing artist, I like to give my classes a cultural flavour, sharing information about music, films, books and art. 

Looking forward to meeting you in class! ¡Deseando conocerte en clase!

Saludos,

Raúl
