Dear student / Querido alumno:

My name is Denise. I am a Mexican Spanish as a Foreign Language (ELE) teacher certified by the Escuela Internacional Cervantes and hold a Bachelor’s degree in Spanish Literature from the University of Nuevo León (UANL, Mexico).

I began tutoring Spanish at an early age, initially helping classmates improve their academic performance, and later formalizing my teaching practice during my university studies.

For the past seven years, I have been teaching Spanish in both America and Europe, working with children, teenagers, and adult learners in academic tutoring, in-company training, online instruction, and professional language support.

My teaching approach is structured, adaptive, and goal-oriented. Lessons are designed according to the student’s level and specific objectives, with a clear focus on progress and consistency.

Students receive guided practice, exercises, and curated learning materials as part of their learning process. I work with a variety of resources, including textbooks, videos, podcasts, and newspapers, depending on the learning goal.

Depending on your needs, we can focus on grammar, academic Spanish, professional communication, or structured conversational practice with topics such as culture, arts, politics, and society.

I invite you to contact me so we can define your learning goals and build a consistent study plan together.

Denise

I'm a Spanish teacher with over 20 years of experience in education, and my goal has always been clear: to help students learn the language in a practical, natural, and meaningful way.

My teaching approach is centered around real-life situations, with a strong focus on speaking and oral expression. I use a modern, engaging, and student-friendly method that encourages communication from day one.

I truly believe that learning a language is not just about memorizing rules—it's about living it, using it, and enjoying the journey.

I’m passionate about guiding each student along their path and providing them with the tools they need to feel confident using Spanish in real contexts.

Tu parles déjà bien, mais tu évites certains sujets ou tu as du mal à dire exactement ce que tu penses ?

On travaille la spontanéité et la nuance : défendre une idée, réagir vite, parler de sujets plus complexes, comprendre les conversations naturelles et utiliser des expressions plus proches de ta façon de t’exprimer.

Comment se passe une séance ?

45 minutes en visio, en tête-à-tête. C’est toi qui parles le plus.
On part de ta vraie vie : ton travail, tes voyages, ta famille, ce que tu dois faire en espagnol cette semaine.
Tu relèves un défi à ta portée. Parfois, je te mets volontairement dans une situation un peu difficile, pour que tu apprennes à t’en sortir.
Tu t’entraînes à te débrouiller quand tu ne trouves pas un mot ou que tu ne comprends pas.
Après la séance, tu reçois un résumé avec tes progrès, jusqu’à 5 nouvelles expressions et un objectif pour la prochaine fois.

Ce n’est pas pour toi si tu es grand débutant, si tu prépares le DELE ou le SIELE, ou si tu cherches des cours bilingues ou en groupe. Je ne donne pas non plus de cours aux mineurs.

Ton niveau est vérifié lors du premier cours.

I know how frustrating it can be to find yourself in a country whose language you find incredibly difficult to understand. I know that journey from hearing nothing but white noise to finally understanding even the words of other dialects of Spanish.
I give grammar and vocabulary lessons for those who are starting to learn this beautiful language or who already have some knowledge but feel insecure when speaking.
In addition, I help primary and secondary school students with the subjects they usually find most difficult (syntax, grammar, etc.)
I have my tricks that helped me learn faster and easier.
It wouldn't be pure dry theory, but a lot of practice, both written and spoken (songs, movies, jokes).

Would you like to learn Afrikaans, improve your conversational skills or develop greater confidence speaking the language? As a native Afrikaans speaker, I offer personalised lessons adapted to your level, interests and learning objectives.

Having grown up speaking Afrikaans and studied it throughout my schooling, I have a strong understanding of the language and its everyday use. I particularly enjoy helping English speakers discover Afrikaans, as I can explain similarities and differences between the two languages and anticipate common learning difficulties.

Lessons can include conversational practice, pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, reading and writing. Whether you are a complete beginner, learning Afrikaans for personal reasons, connecting with family or simply interested in another language, I will adapt our lessons to your needs.

My approach is relaxed, patient and encouraging, with an emphasis on practical communication and building confidence. I believe that language learning should be enjoyable, interactive and relevant to everyday life!
