Based in Perú, now, I lived in Canada, Scotland and France for almost 10 years, where I worked as a teacher, at the University, colleges and Institutes. Also, I study at the Sorbonne University in Paris and have a Master's in languages in Brittany. And I enjoyed the local culture and travelling around, of course! Specialised in preparing students for DELF exams (A1-B2) and conversation. I will tell you all the secret tips about teachers correction. Whether you’re preparing for a DELF, to travel, to chat with locals, or if it's for your children, I will be glad to guide you in your practice and language journey. About the classes: Students say I'm helpful, challenging and patient with a great conversation! Also, you will tell, by yourself. I propose structured lessons: - For children and teenagers: Lola y Leo 1 books music, etc. - For adults: Instituto Cervantes online platforms, music, etc. - DELF exams example and a lot of practice! ;) or free casual conversation... If still hesitating, you can book a trial! Goal-focused, flexible schedule! Please note that I only teach kids older than 6 y.o. And their classes are one to one, only the teacher and the kids.

    I have greatly enjoyed taking lessons with Andrea and I've learned so much already in just a few weeks! I highly recommend her for anybody thinking about learning Spanish! She is incredibly patient and kind, and she makes me feel very comfortable to try things out and make mistakes. The lessons feel like having a good chat with a friend, and you get to learn so much about the Mexican culture & dialect while learning the language itself. I am always looking forward to the next class!

  • Shan Lu

    I've been taking weekly Spanish classes with Lau for four years. She has helped me tremendously in all aspects of my Spanish. Her warm personality and passion for teaching made her class a fun, enriching experience. She always adapts to the student's needs, but at the same time challenges the student to aim high. Her emphasis not only on language but also on culture and society opened doors and inspired new curiosity. For anyone who's taking on the challenge of learning Spanish, I cannot recommend Lau highly enough.

    I have taken about 30 lessons with Vanessa now, she is a wonderful teacher. We are able to speak about a variety of topics (culture, art, politics, movies, etc.) and I have improved my speaking and listening a lot under her guidance. She is very knowledgable about a variety of topics, and is great at providing translations of high-level words or concepts in English, when I don't know the Spanish. When I have requested a structured lesson on something grammatical that I didn't comprehend well (such as the Pretérito pluscuamperfecto de subjuntivo), she is always willing to provide this. She also has a great sense of humor and provides a fun, as well as professional, learning environment. I have made a lot of progress with this great teacher! Highly recommend

  • Lizzie Paquette

    Marta is an excellent and professional tutor. She has a passion for teaching which shows through her lessons. For each class, Marta prepared interactive presentations tailored to my needs. This gave us a concrete foundation to work off of. However, do not let this structure convince you to underestimate Marta's agility in the classroom. In the times we went off script, I watched Marta nimbly switch gears. For example, when I spoke at length about one of my projects - she not only gave me real time feedback, but also prepared a list of phrases I used and corrections for how they could sound more fluent. It was especially helpful to see the words I just said written out and their fixes explained. I would highly recommend Marta to anyone interested in taking their language skills to the next level.

    Learning Spanish

    I have been working with Aliber for a few months to improve my conversational Spanish, and I couldn't ask for a better instructor. He is patient, flexible, and truly dedicated to helping his students improve. One aspect of his teaching that I find incredibly helpful is how effectively he uses the real-time text chat during our lessons to solidify what we are talking about. When you are learning a language, it is easy for things to get lost in translation while trying to speak, so seeing his questions or explanations in writing makes a massive difference. He also brings fresh, spontaneous games and quizzes to test my understanding on the fly. I originally just wanted a "sparring partner" to build up my speaking confidence, but Aliber goes above and beyond to offer so much more!

  • Emilio

    Learning Spanish

    Eduardo is an excellent teacher and I would recommend him to anybody wanting to enhance their Spanish! I have an intermediate level of Spanish and I wanted to increase my skill and knowledge by reaching to an advanced level. Eduardo offers a great plan to achieve that goal. His lessons are very professional and he is very encouraging. He has been especially helpful with helping me with my subjunctive tenses as this is an area of weakness for me. He has been great at helping with this.

    ¡Josué es el mejor! Josué is a warm and kind teacher who always initiates great conversations, and asks questions to his students out of genuine curiosity. He creates a word bank after every lesson which is a great resource if you forget words and helps increase your vocabulary. I feel way more confident in my Spanish which has improved so much thanks to Josué.

  • Kate

    First I have to say that I don’t speak Spanish at all, so I wanted to choose someone who would take on the challenge and teach me from scratch. Veronica is definitely a 10/10 choice. She is so patient and understanding, but also demanding. She is nice, cheerful and very focused during the lessons. I really enjoy learning with her. I never feel embarrassed about making mistakes, and somehow she makes learning Spanish feel fun rather than stressful. I’m very happy that I chose her. I really couldn’t ask for a better teacher. Highly recommended. ❤️

She’s excellent at maintaining a natural conversation and knows exactly when to correct me without interrupting the flow of the lesson. I also really appreciate that she always writes down new words and expressions during class, which makes it much easier to review and remember them afterward. Overall, Angela is an excellent teacher who makes lessons both productive and enjoyable. Highly recommended!

Frequently asked questions

How much does a Spanish tutor cost?

Spanish tutors on italki cost between $4 to $60 per hour, depending on the tutor’s experience and lesson format.

Many learners choose private Spanish tutors because they provide personalized guidance, instant correction, and real conversation practice that help them progress faster than studying alone.

On italki, you have access to both community and professional tutors, making it easy to find a Spanish teacher that matches your goals and budget. A 30-minute Spanish lesson typically costs between $4 and $10.

What is the best way to fluently learn Spanish?

The best way to achieve Spanish fluency is with an online Spanish tutor. Working with a tutor ensures your time is focused on the skills that matter most, mistakes are corrected immediately, and your lessons adapt to your level and goals.

To make the most of your learning, take private Spanish lessons tailored to your current level and goals, schedule conversational Spanish classes to practice speaking in real situations and build confidence, track your progress and adjust focus. Your italki Spanish teacher can pinpoint weak spots, like pronunciation or verb usage, so every session helps you improve steadily.

Do you need a tutor to learn Spanish?

You can learn Spanish without a tutor, but most learners progress faster with guided lessons.

A Spanish tutor can help you:

  • 🗣️ Build correct pronunciation from the start
  • ✏️ Fix grammar issues before they become habits
  • 📅 Stay consistent with a clear study plan
  • 💬 Get real conversation practice, which self-study can’t provide

Plenty of learners try to study only with apps, books or videos. It works, but it usually takes longer because you don’t get feedback, correction, or regular conversation time.

Using a platform like italki gives you access to experienced online Spanish tutors for one-on-one lessons. When you combine private Spanish lessons with extra resources such as apps or podcasts, your progress stays steady and more balanced.

Are private Spanish tutors worth it?

Yes, private Spanish tutors are worth it if you want faster, more effective progress in your Spanish lessons.

Hiring a private Spanish tutor is worth it because:

  • Lessons are tailored to your goals, whether it’s beginner Spanish lessons or conversational Spanish classes.
  • You get immediate feedback on pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary.
  • One-on-one attention ensures you actively practice speaking in every lesson.
  • Tutors can adjust your Spanish lessons online to focus on your strengths, weaknesses, and learning pace.

Many learners find that combining private Spanish lessons with additional resources, like apps or podcasts, makes learning more efficient and keeps them motivated.

How long does it take to learn Spanish with a tutor?

It depends on your goals and study intensity, but most learners reach conversational Spanish in 6–12 months with regular Spanish tutoring.

Basic Spanish conversation (A2): 3–6 months with 2–3 Spanish lessons per week.

Intermediate Spanish fluency (B1–B2): 6–12 months.

Advanced fluency (C1–C2): 1–2 years.

A Spanish tutor speeds up your progress by correcting mistakes in real time and giving you consistent speaking practice. Learners who book 3–5 Spanish classes online each week typically move through levels much faster than those studying once a week.

How do I find a good Spanish tutor on italki?

Finding a good Spanish tutor on italki is easy with filters.

  1. Narrow by price, native language, availability, and specialization (conversation, grammar, exam prep, etc.).
  2. Watch intro videos to check teaching style, read student reviews to see how others rate their lessons.
  3. Start with a trial lesson to test compatibility.

A good Spanish teacher adapts lessons to your goals, corrects mistakes constructively, maximizes speaking practice, and tracks progress. If the first tutor isn’t a fit, try another.

Can I learn Spanish in 3 months?

Yes. With intensive Spanish classes and a dedicated Spanish tutor, you can reach a basic conversational level (A2-B1), which means you can hold simple conversations, introduce yourself, order food, ask for directions, and handle everyday travel situations.

Full fluency takes longer, usually 1–2 years, but 3 months of focused Spanish lessons can help you understand slow, clear Spanish and respond confidently in common situations.

How many hours a week should I study Spanish?

It depends on your goals, schedule, and current level, but most learners see steady progress with 3-5 hours of Spanish lessons per week.

Beginners often benefit from 3-5 hours a week to build consistency, practice speaking, and reinforce new grammar and vocabulary. Intermediate and advanced learners may have 2-4 hours a week for focused practice, exam preparation, or conversation skills.

Your learning style also matters: some students thrive with intensive Spanish classes, while others prefer a slower, steady pace. A private Spanish tutor can help you design a schedule that fits your pace, and lessons can be adjusted as your goals evolve.

How often should I meet with an online Spanish tutor?

How often you meet with an online Spanish tutor depends on your goals, schedule, and level. Beginners often benefit from 3–5 online Spanish lessons per week to build consistency, practice speaking, and reinforce new grammar and vocabulary. Intermediate and advanced learners may have 2–3 online Spanish lessons per week to focus on conversation, exam prep, or specific skills.

Short, regular lessons usually work better than long, infrequent sessions. Your private Spanish tutor can help create a schedule that fits your lifestyle and adjust it as your goals change.

Do italki's Spanish tutors offer free online Spanish lessons?

While italki Spanish tutors don’t offer completely free lessons, many provide discounted trial lessons. Each student can book up to three trial lessons (one per tutor) to experience different Spanish teaching styles before committing.

Trial lessons let you try a Spanish lesson online, assess the tutor’s approach, discuss your goals, and see if their style fits your needs. It’s a low-risk way to find the right Spanish teacher.

What is the 80/20 rule for learning Spanish?

The 80/20 rule suggests that roughly 20% of what you study leads to about 80% of your progress. For Spanish learners, this usually means focusing on the parts of the language you use most, like common verbs, everyday vocabulary, core grammar patterns, and regular speaking practice.

On italki, Spanish tutors often use this approach by guiding you towards the parts of Spanish you’ll use most. They help you avoid spending time on topics that don’t match your goals, so your Spanish lessons feel more focused and you notice progress faster.

Do I need a basic understanding of the Spanish language before I can take Spanish classes with italki?

No. You don’t need any previous knowledge to start learning Spanish on italki. The platform has many Spanish tutors for beginners who specialize in teaching students from scratch and making the language approachable from day one.

Starting as a complete beginner can even be an advantage, since your Spanish tutor will help you build good pronunciation and grammar habits right from the start.

What is the difference between an italki Community tutor vs. Professional tutor?

The main difference between an italki Community tutor and a Professional tutor lies in their qualifications, teaching style, and focus.

Professional tutors are certified teachers with formal training. They offer structured lessons with prepared materials, covering grammar, vocabulary, and exam prep. They provide study resources and detailed feedback during online Spanish lessons, making them ideal for beginners or students seeking systematic learning.

Community tutors, on the other hand, are native or fluent speakers without formal teaching credentials. They focus on Spanish conversational practice, helping learners build fluency and confidence in a flexible, informal, and often more budget-friendly way.

Many learners use both: professional Spanish tutors for foundational skills and community Spanish tutors for speaking practice.
