SPANISH AND ENGLISH LESSONS (Certificates: Trinity / Cambridge / Cervantes)

From 49 C$ /h

Would you like to speak Spanish? I can help you learn Spanish for whatever purpose you need (travelling, business, studies, certificates). I also teach English.
My name is María,, and I am an experienced native Spanish teacher, (Doctorate Studies in Teaching using new technologies. I graduated in English Philology and have my Master's in teaching Spanish and English as a Foreign Language). I own a language school for more than 33 years, where English and Spanish are taught. I prepare students for Instituto Cervantes, Trinity College London and Cambridge Certificates.

Teaching is my world. My students feel constantly motivated and in a few months, they can see how much they are learning. My classes are entertaining and focused on make the student speak and communicate, both speaking and writing. I love bringing cultural aspects to the lessons because learning a language is not just the academic side but customs, education and manners, among others.

Regards,
Maria.

English is a very desirable skill to have in a competitive job market, and it's helpful to have for social situations, too! My classes are tailored to you and your preferences. If you would like to focus on certain topics or prefer conversation, grammar, or listening, I will cater it to you. I can work with both children and adults and we will make it fun!

I am a primary school teacher specializing in therapeutic pedagogy. I am currently studying early childhood education. I offer private tutoring to children in need, primarily for academic support and study skills, as well as math and language classes in primary and secondary school.

I have a C1 level of English certification, so I can also teach all bilingual subjects (English, Science, Social Studies). I have extensive experience working with students with learning disabilities (ADHD, Dyslexia, ASD, Developmental Delay, etc.).

The methodology is enjoyable, with dynamic classes and self-made materials (diagrams, notes, manipulative materials, etc.) always based on the needs and requirements of the student.

I am currently a third-year student pursuing a double degree in Philosophy and Social Studies at the University of Madrid (UCM). I have one year of experience teaching private tutoring and English classes. I offer classes in any subject from elementary to high school. However, I specialize in English and humanities and social sciences, which constitute my current field of study.
My one-year stay in Dublin allows me to introduce my students to the English language more deeply, thereby instilling my passion for teaching and learning it. I also learned firsthand the study and examination methods at Cambridge, an institution from which I hold a C1, although my ongoing language training means I currently have a C2 level.
In my classes, I try to tailor the content to the students' unique characteristics and interests to achieve the desired results as effectively as possible, while also improving their relationship with their studies and passion for knowledge.

I am a teacher and coach with over 15 years of experience. My classes are tailor-made to help you gain real fluency from day one, adapting to your pace, needs, schedule, and specific goals (conversation, professional development, or exam preparation).

100% practical and personalized method: focused on what you really need to communicate confidently and helping you eliminate the blocks that have prevented you from learning the language.
Fun and enjoyable classes.

Book your first lesson and discover a different and effective way to learn English. Write to me and let's get started!

I have a high school diploma and an advanced level of English and French. I also have experience tutoring elementary school children, friends of my younger sister, and translating advertising materials for a hotel from English to Spanish. This experience has helped me develop a keen eye for detail and the ability to explain things clearly, skills I believe translate well to teaching.
I know how important it is to be patient with young children and make chores feel less like a chore and more like something manageable and even fun. My idea would be to support your child every day, without pressure, at their own pace.

Do you find it difficult to express yourself in English even though you understand quite a bit? Would you like to speak with more confidence, naturalness, and fluency?

My name is Álvaro and I have experience living in the United States and Ireland, as well as a TEFL – Full Circle 360 qualification specializing in teaching English as a foreign language.

My classes are especially focused on improving oral expression and helping you feel comfortable speaking English in real-life situations.

We will work primarily through:

🗣️ Everyday conversations and situations
💬 Debates and expression of opinions
🎲 Games and activities to help you speak naturally
🎬 Movies, series, videos and songs
🌍 Travel, culture and experiences
🎭 Role plays and real-life situations
📖 Useful vocabulary and expressions to help you communicate better
🔊 Pronunciation and fluency

The idea is for you to speak from the very first minute. During our conversations, I'll correct your mistakes and help you find more natural ways to express yourself, always adapting to your level.

I'm not looking for you to memorize endless vocabulary lists: I want you to learn to use English to truly communicate and gradually lose your fear of speaking.

The classes are fully adapted to your level, interests and goals, whether you are starting out or already have a good level and want to gain fluency.

I am a Hispanic Philology student and an experienced private tutor of English and Spanish. I offer classes tailored to the level and needs of each student, for both school students and adults.

In my classes we work on grammar, vocabulary, reading comprehension, and oral and written expression, using practical and dynamic activities to facilitate learning. I also prepare students for exams and provide reinforcement on the topics they find most challenging.

My goal is for each student to progress steadily, gain confidence, and be able to use the language practically in real-life situations. I adapt the materials and methodology to each person's pace.

I offer private tutoring for primary school students, adapting to each student's individual needs. I can help with English, Spanish, homework, exam preparation, and other subjects where they need support. My goal is for them to learn in a simple, enjoyable, and confident way.
I can also take care of the little ones in the mornings, accompanying them, playing with them and helping them with whatever they need.

I am a native English speaker from the UK, and I am currently an undergraduate student in Madrid at IE University. I can offer immersive English lessons for all levels. My lessons would be conducted fully in English in order to make the most of the time. I would focus on speaking and listening; however, we can also focus on writing if that is a goal for the student. I assign homework after every lesson and provide periodic progress reports. The lessons can be for conversation practice, homework help and exam prep.

Learning a language should help you communicate, not make you afraid of making mistakes.
I am a philologist, language teacher, and doctoral researcher with over eight years of experience teaching Spanish to students from various countries and proficiency levels. Above all, I recognize that everyone learns differently.
That is why my classes are tailored to you—to your level, your interests, and your specific goals. We can focus on conversation, grammar, pronunciation, writing, or Spanish and English for work, studies, travel, or simply to help you speak with greater confidence.
I enjoy explaining the "why" behind things clearly and simply, without turning the lesson into an endless stream of rules. We will work with real-life situations, topics that interest you, and concrete objectives so you can see your progress firsthand.
Whether you have studied a language for years but still freeze up when speaking, understand far more than you can express, or simply want to start from scratch with a solid foundation, we can work together.
My goal is simple: for you to need me less and less as you become increasingly capable of handling the language on your own.
Tell me what you want to achieve, and we’ll design your lessons around that.
