Hyperpolyglot, human parrot, sensationally verbose Hello everyone! My name is Amélie, I'm a writer and hold a masters degree in comparative literature. I am an expert in Latin American queer literature and culture. I am an official member of the Hyperpolyglot Association (HYPIA). My favourite singer is Fairuz, and my favourite poet is the Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish. I am passionate about Middle Eastern and South Asian languages, as well literature, linguistics, history, travelling, and more! The animal that describes me best is the parrot, since I am talkative and a great imitator! I take pride in welcoming the LGBTQ+ community and BIPOC communities, and I facilitate inclusion for refugees in the Montreal area. I have been teaching for over four years now, and I specialize in teaching French to immigrants. I have worked in the Chamber of Commerce of Montreal, in the "J'apprends le français" program, a program which allows small business owners and workers to learn French at their place of work. This program allowed me to perfect my teaching style, as well as appear on TV and podcasts to promote our approach. As of fall 2026, I also offer Spanish and English conversation lessons at a competitive price. Recently, I have launched a pilot project designed to facilitate French learning for immigrants, especially refugees in the Montreal area. Feel free to ask me about availabilities.

Aprende español con Luciano Certificado por el Colegio Tía Tula, centro acreditado por el Instituto Cervantes, en ELE en todos los niveles (A1-C2) y preparación de exámenes DELE y SIELE. Soy un apasionado de la lengua y literatura española y disfruto de compartir esta pasión enseñando español a otras personas. Entre otros de mis intereses se encuentran las artes marciales, los deportes, el cine, la filosofía y el aprendizaje de idiomas... Aliento a los estudiantes a encontrar el valor del español en sus vidas y descubrir por si mismos como este proceso puede beneficiarlos. Me gusta crear un ambiente seguro en el que puedan sentirse cómodos de expresarse, plantear dudas y cometer errores, pues todo esto es una parte esencial e ineludible del aprendizaje de un idioma. En las clases se mejora en las cuatro habilidades fundamentales del idioma: habla, escucha, lectura y escritura; pero el foco de trabajo depende de las aspiraciones y necesidades de los estudiantes. Se prioriza el uso del idioma en contextos reales (no artificiales como los ejercicios tradicionales) y estos son siempre orientados a los gustos e intereses de los alumnos. Se exige gradualmente el aumento de la dificultad en el uso y comprensión del idioma, por lo que el compromiso con el proceso es un componente esencial para alcanzar un aprendizaje exitoso.

Certified ELE Teacher Hi! I’m Adrianna, and I love cats and the Spanish language. 😸 I’m from Costa Rica, a country known for its beautiful nature and peaceful lifestyle. I graduated with a degree in Agricultural Economics, and I’m especially interested in science, plants, economics, and learning about students’ lifestyles and motivations. For a while, I worked in a guitar shop, which made me really passionate about music gear and instruments. In my free time, I practice yoga and meditation every day. One of my favorite books is 1984 by George Orwell. 📖 As a teacher, I focus on creating a comfortable and supportive environment where students feel confident speaking and making mistakes. I believe language learning should feel natural and engaging, not stressful. My goal is to help students communicate clearly and build real confidence when using Spanish in everyday situations. I enjoy getting to know my students, their interests, and their goals, and I adapt the lessons to what is most useful for them. I try to make every class dynamic, practical, and encouraging so that learning Spanish feels motivating and meaningful. My Spanish course follows a structured approach designed to help students build a strong foundation step by step. Each lesson focuses on practical grammar, useful vocabulary, listening, and speaking practice.

Spanish teacher who focuses on what's really matters Hola ! Hello! I'm Cami, a Colombian teacher who wants to join you in your Spanish learning journey. If you are looking to improve your Spanish, I am your tutor. I focus on the things that really matter when you are learning a language. I can find a balance between different activities and approaches. I help students from all over the world, like you, to learn and communicate in this beautiful language. I lived in Buenos Aires for more than 13 years, which gives me a multicultural perspective when teaching Spanish. I love mate and soccer as much as I love coffee and mountains. Learning a language is a wonderful way to get involved, understand, and live a culture. My method is simple: I adapt to you, not the other way around. Every lesson is personalized to your level, your interests, and what you actually need to improve. Although it will be necessary to study some grammar ¯\_(´°°`)_/¯ Other days we can practice your other language skills. The atmosphere is relaxed and low-pressure, because that's when real progress happens. I'll also point you toward tools to keep learning between sessions. We will make a team, we will set a goal, and we will work to achieve it together! Ps. Daily, I don´t work with kids, but I can work with teenagers :)

A safe space for learning languages & preparing for job interviews Greetings! I am from Puerto Rico. I have had a 26-year professional career in public communication, international programs and recruitment. Since December 2021, I have been preparing professionals for job interviews and teaching Spanish and English. Also, I have been learning Portuguese. Do you: • want to be attentively listened to? • want to feel calm while speaking? • appreciate a slower pace? • value connecting with people from different cultures? I always come prepared with content that is relevant to you. My sessions are personalized. I shape each lesson for you and your interests. I take advantage of every teaching moment that bubbles up, both in regard to your thoughts and feelings. I provide written feedback while we are talking, which is available to you after our meetings. By the way, I love simplicity, nature, and activities that help you feel more connected to your body and the environment that surrounds you. If this resonates with you, I look foward to hearing from you! Best! Arlene

Speak Spanish with Poise & Precision 🗣️ Conversational Ease 📚 Classic Study 🎙️ Refined Speech I love that famous line from Some Like It Hot: "Nobody's perfect". Why is that? Because it's true. Nobody’s born speaking a language perfectly. 🗣 👉🏻 As cliché as it may sound, the best way to learn a language is to use it. And no: there are no shortcuts. Does this mean that the process is eternal, long-suffering and painful? Not at all. What's more, it can and should be fun! 😁 I’d like to get to know you in order to help you as much as possible. Also, when there is trust, mistakes can be made. These are essential - don't try to avoid them! ⚠ We are going to have a really good time using whatever is available: articles, videos, films, music, games, etc. Everything is welcome! 🙌🏻

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.

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

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.

How to hire a private Spanish tutor with italki?

Hiring a private Spanish tutor 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.
  2. Browse qualified tutors – Use the “Find a teacher” search to browse Spanish tutors. Filter by price, availability, lesson type, or tutor type.
