ELE teacher with 10 years of experience✨/DELE examiner📋 /SIELE preparation/Adults only no children. Hi there! I am a certified Spanish teacher and I have been teaching Spanish online for over 10 years. I have a Degree in Education and a Diploma in teaching Spanish as a foreign language. I am not currently teaching children. My students have different ages and levels of Spanish. The ages of my students range from 16 to 85 years old. My goal is to help you improve your fluency in Spanish. When teaching Spanish as a foreign language, I focus on the 4 language skills: writing, reading, speaking and listening. However, it is important to focus on conversation and listening because they are fundamental tools for teaching any language. Born in Venezuela and based in Barcelona, I bring together my passion for teaching, technology, writing, and cultural exchange. My secret? Tailored, dynamic lessons that adapt to your goals —never cookie-cutter classes. Whether you want to pass an exam or enjoy lively conversations, I’ll help you make Spanish part of your life. I design my lessons according to the interests, needs and levels of my students. In my opinion it is very important that my lessons are interactive and fun covering all grammar topics. On the other hand, it is essential that the student feels connected with her teacher so that the lessons flow in the most appropriate way. In accordance with the Italki platform service policies, all refunds, cancellations and rescheduling of any type of class must be made 24 hours in advance without exception.

Examinadora DELE, profesora nativa de español. No lo dudes, vamos a conseguir juntos tu objetivo!! I have been a spanish teacher for about 10 years to the present day. Not only do I get students ready for DELE exams (from A1 to C2), but I can also teach technical spanish or focus on the conversational aspect of the language. I also work as an examiner for the DELE examination centre. I teach students of all ages, from children to adults. Depending on the age of the student, both the methodology and the topic of the lesson can change. I like confronting the student about his/her preferences, so to accomplish with what is more familiar to each one of them: it is fundamental that the student finds him/herself at ease with the teaching.

Your Spanish isn’t the problem—hesitation is. Let’s build your confidence. Living and working in Colombia, the US, and Italy taught me that language anxiety is real. Waiting for "perfect" Spanish is a trap. You don't need shortcuts; you need a structured, safe space to sound bad until you start sounding good. I design custom learning frameworks tailored to your exact goals: ― Business & Medical: Stop shrinking in meetings. Master technical jargon, work communication, and interview prep. ― DELE & Exams (Adults/Teens): Pure strategy to dismantle exam formats and eliminate test anxiety. ― Kids & Families: High-engagement, low-pressure lessons for school prep and cultural connection. ― Relocation, Travel & Hobbies: Street Spanish, community connection, and active brain training. No judgment, just honest work. Stop letting doubt hold you back. Select a package below and let’s get to work.

Objective: To develop communication skills with Spanish speakers I live in Zapopan (northern part of the metropolitan area of Guadalajara). In 2011 I finished my bachelor’s degree on language at the University of Guadalajara. At that time I started teaching Spanish to students of several languages. I frequently take refresher courses on teaching methods. I speak mainly about language learning, experiences traveling, gastronomy, natural resources, historical vision of society, mexican music, mexican cinema, new technologies. Other topics are also welcome. I usually introduce grammar activities with dialogues from real-life situations.I work more on developing interaction skills. I am also attentive to the needs of the student and seek to adapt the plan. I prefer to know the student’s interests and ambitions to put together a study plan.

    I've taken a couple classes with Sebastian, and he has been such an amazing Spanish teacher. He comes to every class with energy and enthuisiasm, and he is incredibly organized, fun to talk to, and a great teacher. He has really engaging lesson plans, with games and interesting topics that help me improve my comprehension and vocabulary. He also writes down all the mistakes I make and goes through them in the end to recap, and does so in a way that is motivating and encouraging. What I also really like is that he sends a worksheet based on what we talked about so you can go back and review and practice some more. I've learned a lot with Sebastian so far, and I am excited to take more classes with him! I highly recommend him as a teacher.

  • Natalie Zindrick

    I have taken many Spanish lessons with Natalia over 5 years. I look forward to our classes which are always well prepared and tailored to me. I went from a beginner to being comfortable speaking Spanish in various situations. I have tried many apps and teachers and Natalia has been the only consistent thing that has helped me improve. Lessons are always fun and interesting often times with being seasonal or personal to my interests. By far the best Spanish teacher I have ever used. Thanks Natalia

    Natalia has the best classes! She takes her students deep into authentic, native Spanish while keeping lessons fresh and exciting with new materials and creative approaches. In our last class, we used an interview between two people as a starting point to expand our discussion while highlighting important vocabulary and expressions. We then revisited the conversation, using those phrases as an outline to explore different topics and reinforce what we learned. Our conversations are always filled with alot of laughter and tons of progress. I highly recommend Natalia if you want to speak Spanish like a native. The language is incredibly nuanced, and learning these expressions in depth makes a huge difference. Working with her has made my travels so much more enriching because she prepares me to communicate naturally and confidently with native speakers.

    My son has been taking Spanish lessons with Paula for almost two years, and the experience has been exceptional. Paula is a wonderful teacher—consistently kind, patient, and highly resourceful. She incorporates a wide range of materials and worksheets that keep each lesson engaging and effective. I also appreciate the strong sense of responsibility she shows toward her students. Earlier this year, when I mentioned that my son would be taking the DELE exam, she immediately developed a thoughtful study plan to ensure he practiced all components of the test. She even prepared a concise study guide highlighting key areas of focus. Thanks to her guidance, my son passed the exam with confidence. Paula is a dedicated and thoughtful teacher, and I highly recommend her.

  • Elizabeth Palmieri

    I have been loving my lessons with Luciana! She is a kind and patient teacher who genuinely cares about her students and wants them to learn. During our first lesson, I wasn't able to speak much Spanish as I was trying to remember what I had learned from high school years ago. Luciana creates a very comfortable environment where you aren't afraid to make mistakes, which makes the learning process much easier. Every week she provides a video that sets a discussion topic and she adapts the conversation to your level. As we've progressed through our lessons, I've noticed that I come to each class with new vocabulary and a firmer grasp of grammar thanks to her help. I would highly recommend taking classes with Luciana!

    Thanks María! I recommend classes with María wherever you are on your learning journey. I started conversational classes with her about a year ago (October 2025) doing just 1-2 per month. I had about 6 months of Comprehensible Input/Dreaming Spanish experience back then (~200hours). While it was tricky at times, she was always encouraging and made the conversations enjoyable. A year later (875hrs of input total) and I’m now doing multiple classes per week and able to talk about a much larger range of topics and in various tenses. Woohoo! New vocab word of the day that came up in conversation “vikingo”. Looking forward to the next class tomorrow. I’m now getting reading for a 4 month trip through South America and Spain and feeling listo for the challenge. -Fred

    Sandra is the best Spanish Tutor on this platform hands down. I've taken a number of classes and courses over the years, and Sandra is by far the best at taking a holistic approach to the language, ensuring I understand not only the grammar and reading, but ensuring I can actual use what I learn through listening and conversation practice. She makes it easy to understand, corrects gently, provides homework and even adapts the lessons to topics I'd like to cover and learn more about. I've never been as confident in the language as I am now after my time with her. You will not regret booking with Sandra. She's top notch!

I would highly recommend Victor as a tutor and especially if you're preparing for a DELE exam!

    When I first started lessons with Karen, I found that I was constantly translating every word. However, Karen encouraged me to just speak without fear of making mistakes and after a few lessons, I was speaking a lot more fluently and naturally. In our lessons we discuss everything from hobbies/interests, culture, history to current affairs, which keeps every lesson fun and interesting and develops my broader vocabulary. I would recommend Karen to any learner who is looking to develop their Spanish to the next level, have natural conversations and gain confidence when speaking Spanish. Thank you for your help thus far, Karen!

Since starting his classes I feel I am making real progress, particularly in my speaking but also in my confidence to speak Spanish. I no longer worry about making mistakes and have found I am learning faster and making more progress, all thanks to David! For anyone who values a friendly, genuine, easy-going teacher and calm, enjoyable classes, I'd pick David without hesitation

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the CELU exam, and who should take it?

The CELU (Certificado de Español: Lengua y Uso) is an official language proficiency exam designed for non-native Spanish speakers who wish to certify their language skills in real-world contexts, whether for academic, professional, or personal purposes. Originating in Argentina and recognized internationally, the CELU test evaluates practical communication abilities in Spanish rather than focusing on strict grammar or isolated vocabulary knowledge.

The CELU is particularly useful for those planning to work, study, or live in Spanish-speaking countries, as it demonstrates the ability to interact and communicate effectively in everyday situations. It assesses reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills, with exam levels ranging from Intermediate to Advanced. This makes the CELU an ideal choice for individuals who need a credentialed certification that reflects actual language use rather than theoretical knowledge. Employers, universities, and government agencies often recognize CELU certification as proof of Spanish proficiency, making it valuable for anyone looking to enhance their opportunities in Spanish-speaking environments.

How can an italki teacher help me prepare for the CELU exam?

An italki teacher can be instrumental in helping you prepare for the CELU exam by offering customized, one-on-one lessons tailored to the test’s specific requirements. CELU-certified or experienced Spanish teachers on italki understand the exam format and can guide you through each of the core skill areas – speaking, listening, reading, and writing. They’ll provide targeted exercises and practice exams to build your confidence and proficiency in real-world Spanish, which is key for CELU success.

With an italki teacher, you’ll also receive personalized feedback on your strengths and areas for improvement, helping you progress more efficiently than studying alone. Teachers can introduce you to vocabulary, cultural insights, and interactive scenarios that reflect CELU’s practical approach, preparing you to handle the types of real-life situations the exam tests. The flexibility of scheduling with italki allows you to take lessons at your own pace, ensuring you’re fully prepared by exam day.

Are CELU classes suitable for beginners?

Yes, CELU classes can be suitable for beginners. While the CELU exam itself is designed for those with a foundational understanding of Spanish, many italki teachers offer beginner-level lessons that can help you build the essential skills needed to work towards CELU readiness. These classes typically start with the basics- covering grammar, vocabulary, and everyday conversation – to ensure you have a solid grounding in Spanish.

For beginners interested in eventually taking the CELU, working with a qualified italki teacher can provide a gradual, structured approach to learning. Your teacher can guide you step-by-step, helping you build the confidence and language skills necessary for later exam preparation. This personalized approach allows you to progress at your own pace while gaining the knowledge and experience you’ll need for future CELU success.

How often should I take lessons to prepare for the CELU?

The frequency of lessons needed to prepare for the CELU exam depends on your current Spanish proficiency, learning goals, and available study time. For consistent progress, most learners benefit from taking 2-3 lessons per week, allowing ample time to practice between sessions while building skills steadily. This pace gives you a balanced schedule to improve reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills – all essential for the CELU exam.

If you’re on a tight timeline or aiming for a high level of proficiency quickly, you might consider more frequent sessions, such as 4-5 lessons per week, paired with independent practice. Your italki teacher can help assess your current level and recommend a personalized study plan that best aligns with your timeline and learning needs, ensuring you’re thoroughly prepared by exam day.

What are the benefits of learning with CELU-certified teachers?

Learning with CELU-certified teachers offers several advantages, particularly if you’re aiming to pass the CELU exam. These teachers have a deep understanding of the CELU’s structure and requirements, which allows them to tailor lessons specifically to the exam’s focus on practical, real-world language use. They know the types of questions and scenarios you’re likely to encounter, so they can help you develop strategies to handle these with confidence.

CELU-certified teachers also bring specialized knowledge in assessing and improving key skills like reading comprehension, written expression, listening, and speaking. This expertise allows them to provide targeted feedback that addresses your unique needs, helping you progress efficiently. Beyond exam preparation, their insights into the Spanish language and Latin American culture enrich your learning experience, giving you a well-rounded understanding that can benefit you in both personal and professional Spanish-speaking environments.
