Speak and Understand Spanish with Confidence: Grammar, Conversation & Real-Life Skill
course price icon
From 28 C$ /h
arrow icon
My Spanish classes are designed for students who want to communicate more naturally, confidently, and accurately in real-life situations. As a native Spanish speaker from Argentina with experience teaching adults and professionals, I adapt each lesson to the student’s level, goals, and interests.

Lessons can focus on:

* Conversation and speaking confidence
* Grammar explained clearly and practically
* Vocabulary development
* Pronunciation and listening comprehension
* Argentine and Rioplatense Spanish
* Spanish for professional and workplace situations
* Reading and discussion of cultural or current topics
* Personalized exercises and learning materials

My approach combines structured learning with active conversation, so students can understand how Spanish works while also learning to use it naturally. I provide regular corrections and feedback and adjust the lessons according to each student’s progress.

Classes are suitable for different levels, from students building their foundations to advanced learners who want to refine their fluency and accuracy.

About Me
I’m a native Spanish speaker from Buenos Aires with a background in Linguistics and several years of experience teaching languages to adults and professionals from different countries.

My classes are practical, personalized, and communication-oriented. I like helping students understand not only what is correct in Spanish, but why the language works the way it does. Depending on your goals, we can focus on conversation, grammar, pronunciation, listening comprehension, vocabulary, professional Spanish, or Argentine/Rioplatense Spanish.

I adapt every lesson to the student’s level, interests, and learning style. I especially enjoy working with motivated students who want to become more independent and confident speakers rather than simply memorize rules.

I provide the learning materials, exercises, corrections, and regular feedback needed to help you make measurable progress.
Education
I am currently studying Linguistics at the University of Buenos Aires (UBA), where my academic training includes grammar, syntax, semantics, phonetics, language acquisition, and linguistic analysis.
My academic background in linguistics gives me a deeper understanding of how languages are structured and learned, which I apply directly to my lessons.
Experience / Qualifications
I have professional experience teaching languages to adults and professionals in international environments.

I previously worked as a Corporate English Trainer at goFLUENT, teaching professionals from the Americas, Europe, and Asia and adapting lessons to different industries, levels, and communication needs.

I have also worked as a Spanish tutor on Preply, providing personalized one-to-one lessons and adapting the content to each student’s objectives, level, and areas for improvement. This experience strengthened my ability to teach Spanish online, identify individual learning needs, and create lessons that combine structured language work with active conversation.

These experiences have helped me develop a flexible and student-centered teaching method based on real communication, practical exercises, and continuous feedback.

I am a qualified and experienced mathematics tutor. Graduated from the Free University of Brussels in 2011, I started my career by teaching remedial courses in different schools in Brussels. I then specialized in individual academic support by following educational training at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. I have been giving private mathematics lessons daily for over ten years.

The students who follow my private lessons benefit from personalized support. The first session is devoted to an in-depth assessment of the student's mathematical knowledge. The objective is to detect its weak points and understand their origin in order to adapt my courses to its needs. I develop a tailor-made remediation program for each of my students aimed at filling each of their gaps. Over the course of the sessions, the student builds a solid foundation for learning and regains self-confidence. At the same time, I help him acquire a work methodology that allows him to gradually become autonomous in his studies.

I have a thorough knowledge of the mathematics curriculum for middle and high school (from 6th to 12th grade). I am also qualified to support students in preparing for international exams such as the SAT, the OMPT, and the International Baccalaureate (IB) in all its variations: Analysis and Approaches (AA SL/HL) and Applications and Interpretation (AI SL/HL).

Throughout my years of training, I studied and developed numerous techniques that facilitate learning mathematics. The strength of my teaching approach lies in my ability to explain, in simple terms, anything a student finds complicated. I am passionate about this profession because it offers me the opportunity to guide struggling students toward success. It is a true pleasure to see them progress and rediscover their connection with the fascinating world of mathematics.

I offer private tutoring in Paris (at the student's home) or remotely (online). My online lessons take place on an interactive whiteboard. This whiteboard is specifically designed to facilitate student/teacher interaction online. Thanks to this teaching tool, my online lessons are just as effective as in-person lessons. The student only needs an internet connection and a computer, tablet, or smartphone to participate.

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.

As a Ukrainian teacher for foreigners with varying language proficiency levels, I hold a unique and pivotal role in the realm of education.
I am in touch with my students almost all the time. We are not only practicing grammar and vocabulary, but we are also experiencing a love of Ukrainian culture together. There is no place for constant boring theory and mindless rote memorization. My values are trust, understanding and love.

My dedication to imparting the Ukrainian language to a diverse group of learners has shaped an identity, fostering a rich tapestry of experiences, skills, and qualities that make an invaluable asset in the field of education.

I love seeing and participating in my students' interest in the Ukrainian language. What warms my heart the most is their curiosity about every detail and exception. Especially when they want to look for new things for themselves and then tell me about what they have found with a twinkle in their eye.

Conversational Spanish is a very important part of the learning as it is the natural way to learn it. My classes are designed to help students to learn in a natural way by choosing a topic and dealing with that topic from all angles: grammar, speaking, listening and translating. That helps students to gradually absorb what they are studying. I usually conduct a relaxing lesson where students feel they can improve and learn at their own pace.
Even if you are an absolute beginner you will be able to speak some Spanish by the end of the first lesson.
Included on this lesson you can have for free a 30min group lesson every week.

A brief note: Since lessons are online, it is best to use a lapto/computer rather than a phone to enjoy the full experience.

As a researcher and professor specializing in linguistics, I designed this online Spanish as a Foreign Language (ELE) course to offer you an interactive and dynamic experience deeply connected with the real use of the language and focused on your professional goals.
This class is designed for students, professionals, freelancers, and anyone looking to enter the Spanish-speaking job market or enhance their profile in international settings. The goal is for you to communicate with Spanish naturally and confidently, boosting your opportunities. Don't worry about your starting point: the content will be tailored to your current level and your specific sector or academic field, allowing you to progress step by step and see concrete results from the very first lesson.
In this course, we'll work remotely, combining video calls with interactive digital tools. What can you expect from this program? Throughout the sessions, we'll use a multimodal approach: we'll articulate strategic conversations with digital tools, explore virtual urban environments, and integrate artificial intelligence models to enhance your technical and sales writing skills.
Among other objectives, I propose the following:
- Master your professional presentation. Learn how to present yourself confidently in virtual or in-person meetings, talk about your career path, and handle spontaneous social conversations or the beginning of video calls with Spanish-speaking colleagues with ease.
- Produce impeccable corporate messages. Learn to write formal emails, proposals, or messages for different teamwork platforms using professional writing techniques.
- Master the specific vocabulary of your work sector. Identify and activate the technical and corporate terms and the appropriate formal/informal register for your specific area of performance (technology, administration, services, marketing, research, among others).
- Perform in mock job interviews. Practice answering common job interview questions in Spanish, improving your fluency, speaking time management, and ability to argue your skills under pressure.
- Understand complex instructions and signage in urban environments. Train your listening and critical reading skills by exploring job websites and urban signage in Spanish-speaking cities using digital tools and maps, interpreting real-world work information.
- Enjoy the language. You will incorporate current vocabulary and idiomatic expressions through authentic content (urban posters, interactive activities and recognized audiovisual productions), so that the process of speaking Spanish is an entertaining and enriching journey for your life.
Interested in learning more? I'll answer all your questions.

Aló / Hola / Hey!

I’m Ryan — and yes, in Portuguese it sounds like “LION,” just swap the LI for a HI. 😊

I’m a PhD language educator with over a decade of experience teaching Spanish, Portuguese, and Academic English at every level — from absolute beginners to advanced university students and professionals. I earned my Ph.D. in Latin American Literature and Culture from the University of Texas at Austin, one of the leading institutions for language pedagogy in the U.S. Since 2024, I have held a position as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor.

I’ve taught at major universities including the University of Michigan, University of Texas-Austin, Villanova, and Thomas Jefferson University. My experience includes everything from foundational grammar and conversation courses to advanced writing, medical Spanish, Portuguese for Spanish speakers, and culturally focused seminars on race, media, and society in the Spanish and Portuguese-speaking world.

Beyond the classroom, I’ve worked extensively as a professional interpreter and translator in Spanish and Portuguese, supporting migrants, asylum seekers, educators, and public institutions. I’ve also lived and worked across South America and bring real-world cultural experience into every lesson.

Whether you're: starting from scratch, preparing for travel, strengthening academic writing, building professional fluency, maintaining a heritage language, or refining advanced grammar and style, I tailor lessons to your goals with clarity, structure, and encouragement.

My teaching style is rigorous but relaxed — we work hard, we laugh, and you leave each session feeling more confident than when you arrived.

When I’m not teaching, you’ll probably find me biking, rock climbing, birding, or playing guitar.

I’d love to help you reach your language goals. Let’s get started!

- Master your professional presentation. Learn how to present yourself confidently in virtual or in-person meetings, talk about your career path, and handle spontaneous social conversations or the beginning of video calls with Spanish-speaking colleagues with ease.
- Produce impeccable corporate messages. Learn to write formal emails, proposals, or messages for different teamwork platforms using professional writing techniques.
- Master the specific vocabulary of your work sector. Identify and activate the technical and corporate terms and the appropriate formal/informal register for your specific area of performance (technology, administration, services, marketing, research, among others).
- Perform in mock job interviews. Practice answering common job interview questions in Spanish, improving your fluency, speaking time management, and ability to argue your skills under pressure.
- Understand complex instructions and signage in urban environments. Train your listening and critical reading skills by exploring job websites and urban signage in Spanish-speaking cities using digital tools and maps, interpreting real-world work information.
- Enjoy the language. You will incorporate current vocabulary and idiomatic expressions through authentic content (urban posters, interactive activities and recognized audiovisual productions), so that the process of speaking Spanish is an entertaining and enriching journey for your life.

Aló / Hola / Hey!

I’m Ryan — and yes, in Portuguese it sounds like “LION,” just swap the LI for a HI. 😊

I’m a PhD language educator with over a decade of experience teaching Spanish, Portuguese, and Academic English at every level — from absolute beginners to advanced university students and professionals. I earned my Ph.D. in Latin American Literature and Culture from the University of Texas at Austin, one of the leading institutions for language pedagogy in the U.S. Since 2024, I have held a position as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor.

I’ve taught at major universities including the University of Michigan, University of Texas-Austin, Villanova, and Thomas Jefferson University. My experience includes everything from foundational grammar and conversation courses to advanced writing, medical Spanish, Portuguese for Spanish speakers, and culturally focused seminars on race, media, and society in the Spanish and Portuguese-speaking world.

Beyond the classroom, I’ve worked extensively as a professional interpreter and translator in Spanish and Portuguese, supporting migrants, asylum seekers, educators, and public institutions. I’ve also lived and worked across South America and bring real-world cultural experience into every lesson.

Whether you're: starting from scratch, preparing for travel, strengthening academic writing, building professional fluency, maintaining a heritage language, or refining advanced grammar and style, I tailor lessons to your goals with clarity, structure, and encouragement.

My teaching style is rigorous but relaxed — we work hard, we laugh, and you leave each session feeling more confident than when you arrived.

When I’m not teaching, you’ll probably find me biking, rock climbing, birding, or playing guitar.

I’d love to help you reach your language goals. Let’s get started!

-Ryan
