BC认证雅思培训师 IELTS/雅思 Simon - Intro - IELTS - HSK - Business - Conversational courses I have taught over 13,000 lessons on italki, and I am skilled in teaching both kids and adults. Under my approach, many of my students have achieved fluency, and excellent scores in standardized tests like IELTS and HSK. I have also researched and self-created contents for over 500+ daily scenarios, each dialogue is specially designed, so grammar structures are taught naturally through the dialogues, to ensure easy understanding. These topics pretty much cover every possible scenario in life, so you can be sure that you would reach a near native level of vocabulary after learning them. ➡️ Test preparation (IELTS / HSK / TOEFL): Practice on Speaking, Writing, Listening and Reading questions, with feedback and correction, as well as strategies and tips to improve. ➡️ For role-play simulation: We will role play common scenarios after learning sentence structures and vocabulary of a certain topic (Renting an apartment, Job interviews, Traveling etc) ➡️Topic-based sentence-builder practice: (sports, movies, fashion, relationships, arts, culinary, politics, environmental issues, technologies etc)

I have more than 4 years of experience teaching Spanish to students of different levels and backgrounds. My lessons are personalized according to your level, goals, and interests.

Outside of teaching, I enjoy history, travel, different cultures, and sports. I was a professional cyclist, so I also enjoy sharing my experiences and talking about cycling. My goal is to help you improve your Spanish while making the learning process enjoyable and motivating. I hope to see you in class soon!

    She is a very cheerful and engaging teacher. During the trial lesson, she assesses your current level of fluency and works with you to create a plan for your learning. Most classes include role-playing exercises that push you to speak, think in Spanish, and build confidence using the language. You are going to talk A LOT in her class! What I appreciate most is how structured the lessons are: each class builds on the previous one, so the exercises never feel random or disconnected. The activities can challenge you and push you outside your comfort zone, but her personality and demeanor make it easy to relax, take risks, and not be afraid of making mistakes. I highly recommend Amarilys to for your spanish journey

    Another great lesson with Yohenia! She is constantly helping me improve my Spanish in ways that I wouldn't thought of. Today, we practiced role-playing various real-life scenarios to improve my vocabulary and usage of certain grammatical concepts. I already feel like I understand these concepts much better than before because Yohenia emphasizes using new grammatical structures and vocabulary naturally. Muchas gracias Yohenia!

    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.

  • Oskar Pawlowski

    Learning Spanish

    Leaving the Duolingo green owl behind and finding Maria was the best decision I've made for my Spanish. Around 6 months in, I've gone from feeling embarrassed speaking to holding full conversations for an hour without freezing up. Maria is patient and creates an environment where you're completely comfortable making mistakes. She's great at explaining grammar, answering questions, and always recommends the best resources to keep improving outside the lessons. I really noticed the difference on a recent trip to Budapest with Spanish speaking friends. I spent the whole weekend speaking Spanish, and even a few people I met told me, "You can tell you learned from an Argentine teacher." That was probably the best compliment I could've received, and the clearest proof the lessons work. A great teacher and, beyond that, a wonderful person. Undoubtedly the Lionel Messi of italki. Can't recommend her enough.

I always enjoy our lessons and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a great Spanish teacher.

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.
  2. Browse qualified tutors – Use the “Find a teacher” search to browse Spanish tutors. Filter by price, availability, lesson type, or tutor type.
  3. Review and compare – Watch tutor introduction videos, read student reviews, and review profiles to find a tutor who matches your goals and learning style.
  4. Book a trial lesson – Once you find a tutor you like, book a trial lesson to experience their teaching approach firsthand.
  5. Schedule regular lessons – If it’s a good fit, schedule regular private Spanish lessons at times that suit you.

All lessons take place on italki’s Classroom platform, which handles scheduling, payments, and reminders, making online Spanish lessons easy and convenient.

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 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.
