I am a Spanish student of Law and Political Science. This year I am coming to Leuven as an Erasmus student to continue my undergraduate studies. I have very good preparation in English and French, as well as in Spanish, which is my mother tongue. I have started this course to give conversation classes in Spanish to people of all ages and levels, at an affordable price. My classes can serve as school reinforcement and also as preparation for official exams. I adapt to the profile of each student. In addition, I can teach both at the student's home and online.
Do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions about prices, duration, etc.

During the course with me you will have the opportunity to learn this new language in an entertaining and motivating way. We are going to work both the field of reading, writing, pronunciation and comprehension together. I offer diverse and dynamic activities where I prioritize the participation of the student and the conversation between us. Being a native I can offer you the most concrete learning of verbiage in Spanish or Catalan and work on phonetics.
I also offer English classes since I have the C1 English certificate (Cambridge School) and I have been in an English academy (Fun English School) during a course teaching English to children between 3 and 18 years old.

Do you want to learn Spanish as a hobbie? Teaching Spanish to foreign people is one of my hobbies, so maybe we're a match :)

Hello, I'm Gemma, I'm 26 and I live in Leuven, Belgium. I am originally from Tuscany, Italy.
I'm used to tutoring, usually students, in foreign languages and humanistic subjects.

It would be a pleasure for me to teach you Italian in a way that's tailored to your needs. We can start with a format and change it on the go, depending on what suits you best and the specific areas you want to improve.

The class will be structured around: grammar, real-life conversations, listening to videos/music, cultural insights, and practical exercises.
I know grammar can be very boring, but we'll make it as fun and interactive as possible.

I’ll help you build a strong foundation or refine your advanced skills.

I hope I'll get to work with you!

Language and culture are essential to connecting with others, and as someone who loves both, I’m excited to share my passion for teaching. In addition to being an artist, I’ve developed a strong interest in languages, which is why I’ve decided to take this passion further by teaching my native language, Spanish.

In my classes, I offer a personalized and engaging approach to help you learn Spanish effectively. Whether you're starting from scratch or looking to improve your skills, I teach from levels A0 to B2, focusing on grammar, vocabulary, and everyday expressions to help you communicate confidently with native speakers.

My goal is to ensure that each student learns at their own pace while encouraging you to speak from the very first lesson. I provide all necessary materials, including books, exercises, and audio resources.

The lessons can be taught in either English or Spanish, depending on your preference.

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions! I’m looking forward to meeting you and helping you discover the beauty of the Spanish language.

Online lessons is available too.

Learning Spanish with me means stepping into a supportive and motivating environment. Each class is tailored to your level and goals, whether you’re a beginner building a foundation or an advanced learner polishing your fluency.

I teach both younger students and adults, always adapting the lessons to each age group and learning style. With children, I use games, visuals, and dynamic activities to keep them engaged; with adults, I focus on real-life situations, conversation practice, and cultural insights.

As a native Spanish and Catalan speaker with a background in Translation and Interpreting, I bring both linguistic knowledge and a love for teaching. My lessons combine practical grammar, conversation practice, and cultural insights, so you can truly connect with the language beyond the classroom.

We’ll use interactive exercises and topics that matter to you, so learning feels natural and enjoyable. My goal is simple: to help you communicate confidently in Spanish and feel inspired along the way!
