Profesor paciente y claro | Comunicación real y feedback útil | 13 años | 23,000+ clases Hi! I’m Azael, a Spanish teacher with 13 years of teaching experience and 23,000+ lessons taught. I specialize in conversation and help students speak Spanish with confidence, from beginner to advanced levels. I lived in Japan for a year and and as a language learner myself, I know what it’s like to communicate and adapt in another language and culture, and I understand the challenges of learning another language. I enjoy learning about different cultures, technology, and current events. I teach from Puebla, Mexico. I’m patient, clear, and adaptable. I believe everyone learns differently, so I tailor my teaching to your goals and learning style. I explain grammar in plain language and connect it to real-life situations. My priority is real communication, not simply memorizing rules. Lessons can follow two main formats. We can focus on conversation using topics that interest you, readings, useful vocabulary, and clear corrections; or take a more structured approach with grammar, exercises, speaking and writing practice, and role plays. Everything is adapted to your level and pace. After each session, you’ll receive notes and concrete suggestions to help you keep improving.

⭐Spanish – Personalized Learning | Culture, Identity & Ecuador Hi! I’m Elizabeth, a Spanish teacher from Ecuador. I’ve been teaching Spanish since 2021 I’m a naturally curious person, so one of my favorite things about teaching is getting to know the person behind the language. I like hearing stories, asking questions, discovering new perspectives, and learning something new from my students. That’s also how I like to teach. 🗣️ I enjoy conversation classes where you can talk about your life, your interests, your work, your ideas, or simply something that caught your attention that day. To you, it may feel like a relaxed conversation with a friend. Behind that conversation, I’m listening to your Spanish, noticing what you already know, what you need. 📚 For A1 - A2 - B1 and B2 students I don’t follow a textbook page by page. I create and adapt materials depending on the student, and I use different approaches because I know that we don’t all learn the same way. 📖 Grammar is important, but so is being able to use it. I want you to understand not only what is correct, but also how people actually communicate. ✨ Being from Ecuador also means that Latin American Spanish naturally becomes part of our classes. I enjoy talking about expressions, cultural differences, and the many ways Spanish exists across Latin America. ❤️ Most importantly, I want my students to feel comfortable speaking, making mistakes, asking questions, and being themselves in Spanish. Learn Spanish by talking about the things that make you, you.

🖐 Speak French naturally or start your Spanish journey from scratch! 🖐 Hi, I’m Anne! I’m passionate about languages, learning and sharing knowledge. I’m originally from Aix-en-Provence, France, and now live in Ecuador. I used to be a process engineer, but I eventually turned my passion for languages into my profession. I speak several languages myself, and I love helping people discover the joy and freedom that come from communicating in another language. I’ve been teaching online for over 5 years and have taught 10,000+ lessons. Whether you’re learning French at any level or starting Spanish from scratch, I’ll adapt my lessons to you and create a friendly, relaxed space where you can learn, practise and gain confidence. 🌿 A little about me I love nature, simple things and learning new things. I try to live in the present, follow the Four Toltec Agreements, and keep a positive and natural approach to life. I enjoy yoga, Tai Chi, hiking, cycling, meditation, permaculture, animals and personal development. I also love sharing my passion for languages with my children. More than anything, I love seeing people make progress and realise that they are capable of much more than they thought. If you’re looking for a friendly, patient teacher who genuinely loves what she does, I’d love to meet you! 😊

Me gusta meter contenido de todo en mis clases porque considero que si el alumno tiene referencias sobre un conocimiento nuevo (aprendizaje por asociación), va a poder recordarlo mejor. Hablar del contexto y del por qué ayuda a un mejor entendimiento de las cosas y a darle un uso real al conocimiento adquirido. I like to talk about everything in my clases. I strongly believe if the student has references related to the new knowledge (Associative Learning), the knowledge will be easily remembered. To talk about the context and why did it happened like that, will help to understand the things better and the student will be able to give the knowledge a real use.

    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.

    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

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.
