¡Hola! Soy Jordi, profesor de español de Cataluña con 5 años de experiencia en aulas y 3 enseñando online. Mi pasión por viajar (¡Sudamérica, Europa y Asia!) me ha dado un superpoder: **enseñar español útil para la vida real**, con un enfoque en conversación y cultura. ¿Te cuesta soltarte al hablar? ¿Quieres aprender de manera dinámica y personalizada? ¡Yo te ayudo! Cuando no estoy enseñando, me encontrarás haciendo senderismo, tocando la guitarra o descubriendo nuevas películas. *¡Vamos a aprender juntos!* Soy maestro de educación primaria y tengo 5 años de experiencia trabajando en un colegio de primaria de Barcelona. Tengo 3 años de experiencia enseñando español en Preply. Sin embargo, considero que es muy importante prepararme para ayudar a mis estudiantes de la mejor manera, por eso sigo formándome como profesor de lengua. Durante las clases nos acercaremos a situaciones de la vida real, prestando especial atención a la pronunciación y el vocabulario, así como a la gramática básica. En mis clases uso herramientas como actividades lúdicas, vídeos cortos, música y juegos de rol para que las clases sean entretenidas y divertidas. Además, siempre intento personalizar las clases para adaptarme a las necesidades de mis alumnos.

Estudié Inglés hace 6 años en un prestigioso instituto de idiomas en Lima y logré concluir mis estudios hasta el nivel avanzado, pero por falta de practica mi inglés se ha oxidado. La metodología a emplear será haciendo ingeniería inversa, osea, así como aprendí inglés, puedo enseñar español, teniendo como base tópicos de conversación y gramática aplicada. Soy paciente y puedo entender los niveles de frustración que la gente experimenta a la hora de aprender un nuevo idioma.

Spanish for English speakers, from your first word to fluent | Certified teacher since 2012 If Spanish has ever felt like a pile of rules that almost work, that is exactly the problem I fix. I'm Jesús, born and raised in Barcelona, native in Spanish and Catalan, with a degree in Translation from Universitat Pompeu Fabra and ELE teacher training. Teaching languages since 2012, in schools like Kids&Us and Enforex and one to one with students all over the world. On italki: more than 5,900 lessons, 430 students, a 5.0 rating and 100% attendance. I specialize in teaching Spanish from Spain to English speakers, and that is not a slogan. Every explanation is built around what specifically breaks for an English-speaking brain: ser and estar, por and para, the subjunctive, the two past tenses. I learned three languages the hard way myself, so I know what it feels like from your side of the screen. We do not memorize rules. I show you how Spanish works underneath, connect it to how you already think in English, and then you use it out loud in the same lesson. What students tell me most often is that things they had already "learned" two or three times finally stayed. Beginners, the B1 plateau, advanced polish, conversation, business, travel: each one is a separate lesson below, so pick the one that sounds like you. I also teach Spanish entirely in Japanese, and I teach Catalan. My own practice materials come with every lesson, at no extra cost. Book a trial lesson, tell me where you are and where you want to get to, and I will build it from there.

Spanish For ADHD Hello, I’m Vero ⚡️—an ELE teacher and Neurodiversity Coach with over 8 years of online teaching experience. I understand firsthand how traditional language learning methods can be frustrating and often fail to accommodate neurodiverse learners. Having lived in the US for 6 years, I deeply relate to the challenges of expressing your authentic self in a new language, including the doubts and overthinking that can arise. My approach combines Cognitive Grammar with Coaching, focusing on understanding rather than rote memorization. Together, we address mental blocks, build clarity, and support you in developing your own identity in Spanish. Why choose my sessions? We prioritize real conversations from day one—no repetitive drills. Learning is structured, visual, and tailored to your brain’s needs, without rigid pressure. We explore the 'why' behind the language, making it meaningful and memorable. My goal is not perfection, but expression, confidence, and helping you feel at home when you speak Spanish. If you’re seeking a safe, structured environment where you can truly trust your Spanish skills, I invite you to connect and start your brain-friendly language journey.

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.

Bachelor's Degree in Modern Languagues! Quite grammar nerd, but very friendly and real native! I have a B. D. in Modern Languages, so I have an expert knowledge about language, its culture, grammar and phonetics. Besides, I love teaching, sharing my knowledge, and helping others achieve their learning goals. Time ago, I was a beginner like you, so believe me: I understand all insecurities and difficulties you might have in this process. Beginner or intermediate, we can work together and make fluent speaking and writing real.

    I couldn't recommend David enough. He is fantastic! He tailors classes to your individual goals and creates a very relaxed, natural learning environment. He is very encouraging and supportive. 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

    Carolina is wonderful. I want to work on answering phone calls in Spanish and she had slides with common phrases and cultural variants for different countries and has set up role plays. Exactly what I needed. You can tell she listens to your needs and plans things to suit your specific learning goals. She is also warm and welcoming and makes you feel at ease while learning and practicing.

    Estoy tomando clases con Verónica desde hace un año y medio. Ella es muy paciente e interesante. También es responsable: nunca ha cancelado una clase y está dispuesta a ayudarme a todas horas. Yo estudio español por mi cuenta y empecé desde cero usando un método de input comprensible (comprehensible input -CI). Verónica está muy abierta a trabajar conmigo usando este método, pero también me hace correcciones de gramática cuando las necesito. Además, me da recursos como artículos y canciones, y charlamos sobre ellos. En resumen, si quieres tener clases con una profesora muy simpática, inteligente y que te va a ayudar, te la recomiendo.

    I’ve been having classes with Marta for over a year now and can’t recommend her enough. I’ve had many Spanish teachers over the years and almost never leave reviews, but Marta is genuinely exceptional. She’s very personable and easy to talk to, so the classes always feel natural and enjoyable, but I’ve also learned a huge amount from her. She’s played a big part in improving my Spanish and I’d recommend her without thinking twice.

    Josue is an exceptional Spanish teacher. During each of of our classes, I have found him to be thoughtful, attentive, and he also has a great sense of when to correct me or introduce a new concept without interrupting the natural flow of conversation. I especially appreciate how organized he is. During each lesson, he keeps track of the grammar, vocabulary, and concepts we cover, then spends the last few minutes reviewing them with me. It’s a simple approach, but it makes a big difference in helping me retain what I’ve learned during each session. Josue is also genuinely kind and easy to talk to. I never feel intimidated or self-conscious about making mistakes. Instead, his encouragement motivates me to keep improving and reminds me why I’m learning Spanish in the first place: to communicate with others and better understand the culture.

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 to find Spanish tutor on italki for beginners

Finding a Spanish tutor for beginners on italki is simple:

  1. Create your account – Start by creating a free account on the italki website or app and select Spanish as the language you want to learn.

Can I find Spanish tutors for specific needs on italki?

Yes, italki offers Spanish tutors who specialize in different learning needs and goals.

You’ll find Spanish tutors for beginners, Spanish tutors for kids, and Spanish tutors for adults, as well as tutors who focus on conversation practice, grammar instruction, or specialized areas like exam preparation (DELE, SIELE) and business Spanish. Whatever your goal, there’s a Spanish tutor for it.

italki also offers Spanish lessons with tutors who speak your native language, such as: Spanish lessons for English speakers and Spanish lessons for Portuguese speakers. These types of lessons can help you feel more comfortable in your language learning journey.

Why should I use a Spanish tutor to learn Spanish with italki?

Using a Spanish language tutor on italki helps you learn the Spanish you’ll actually use, not just textbook phrases, by focusing on real conversations, common expressions, and situations you encounter in daily life.

Your private Spanish tutor can help you practice conversation, review grammar, prepare for Spanish proficiency exams like DELE, or build confidence in speaking, with lessons customized to your level and pace. They correct mistakes on the spot, suggest natural ways to phrase things, and explain cultural context, so you communicate appropriately in any situation.

All lessons are available anytime online, and most operate on a pay-as-you-go system, so you only pay for the private Spanish lessons you take. For learners looking for extra support, italki Plus also offers an optional subscription with features like AI-powered study tools, exclusive events, and discounts.

How do italki's online Spanish classes work?

italki’s online Spanish classes are simple, flexible, and personalized:

  1. 🧐 Browse tutors – After creating an account, browse through qualified Spanish tutors with detailed profiles showing their teaching style, experience, and student reviews.
  2. ✅ Choose your tutor – Filter by price, availability, specialization, or tutor type to find a tutor that fits your goals and schedule. Many offer trial lessons to help you find the right match.
  3. 📅 Book and attend lessons – Once you book a lesson, you’ll meet your private Spanish tutor via italki’s video platform. Your tutor will assess your level, discuss your objectives, and tailor lessons to your needs.
  4. 🚀 Learn at your pace – Spanish classes are fully flexible and can be scheduled daily, weekly, or as often as you like. Between lessons, tutors often provide extra resources or conversation practice to help you progress in learning Spanish online.

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.
