I discovered teaching when I was 23 years old and I've been doing it for more than ten years. I've taught in Asia, the Middle East, America, and Europe. I'm in love with the process of giving myself fully to the student and to the world. I've won many teaching awards including Teacher of the Year in an American high school and I've been featured in many training videos around the world. Students love how lively I am in the classroom. My passion is contagious and it creates an electric and dynamic atmosphere. I believe that we should train the mind to go further and learning a new language is a great way to do this. I know how to get results while making the learning experience memorable.

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, dance, 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. *IMPORTANT* due to a high number of private messages, directly book a trial lesson if you are interested! 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.

Native Spanish & English | 30+ Years Teaching | NeuroBoost Method Native Spanish & English | 30+ Years Teaching | 4.9★ (316 Reviews) | 3,000+ Lessons on italki Since 2013 I was born in Bogotá, Colombia, and spent part of my childhood in New York — so both Spanish and English are truly native to me. After studying philosophy in Paris and English literature in London, I found my real calling: helping people learn languages in a way that feels natural instead of stressful. Over the past three decades I developed NeuroBoost, a method combining Sophrology (which I studied directly under its founder, Dr. Alfonso Caycedo, in Bogotá), Suggestopedia, and Superlearning. In practice, this means lessons built around relaxation and visualization techniques that help you absorb vocabulary and speak with less mental blocking. Many students tell me it's the calmest, most enjoyable language learning they've experienced — while still making real progress. I've taught on italki since 2013, with over 3,000 lesson hours, a 4.9-star rating across 316 reviews, and 100% attendance and response rates. My students come from more than 30 countries, from complete beginners to those refining fluency for work, travel, or exams. I bring real teaching structure and a distinctive method built on relaxation and deep engagement with language and culture — not one instead of the other. Try a 45-minute NeuroBoost trial lesson and feel the difference for yourself. 🚀

Physicians, pharmacists, medical reps, advisors, researchers. People who know that general Spanish is no longer enough. Every session is 100% in Spanish. No translations, no English. Conversation applied to real professional contexts: clinical discussions, regulatory language, medical sales, patient interaction, presentations and briefings. Over 2,000 sessions completed.

CELTA certification acquired in December 2020. My experience started in 2018 in Peru where I taught English in two language schools for a year. In the meantime I applied to be a community tutor here at Italki where I have been teaching not only English but also Portuguese and Spanish. My passion for teaching only grew with the time so I took a CELTA certificate in the end of 2020 and this experience provided me with a solid base and opened the way in many aspects of my career.

    My son has been taking Spanish lessons with Paula for almost two years, and the experience has been exceptional. Paula is a wonderful teacher—consistently kind, patient, and highly resourceful. She incorporates a wide range of materials and worksheets that keep each lesson engaging and effective. I also appreciate the strong sense of responsibility she shows toward her students. Earlier this year, when I mentioned that my son would be taking the DELE exam, she immediately developed a thoughtful study plan to ensure he practiced all components of the test. She even prepared a concise study guide highlighting key areas of focus. Thanks to her guidance, my son passed the exam with confidence. Paula is a dedicated and thoughtful teacher, and I highly recommend her.

    I have been loving my lessons with Luciana! She is a kind and patient teacher who genuinely cares about her students and wants them to learn. During our first lesson, I wasn't able to speak much Spanish as I was trying to remember what I had learned from high school years ago. Luciana creates a very comfortable environment where you aren't afraid to make mistakes, which makes the learning process much easier. Every week she provides a video that sets a discussion topic and she adapts the conversation to your level. As we've progressed through our lessons, I've noticed that I come to each class with new vocabulary and a firmer grasp of grammar thanks to her help. I would highly recommend taking classes with Luciana!

    Thanks María! I recommend classes with María wherever you are on your learning journey. I started conversational classes with her about a year ago (October 2025) doing just 1-2 per month. I had about 6 months of Comprehensible Input/Dreaming Spanish experience back then (~200hours). While it was tricky at times, she was always encouraging and made the conversations enjoyable. A year later (875hrs of input total) and I’m now doing multiple classes per week and able to talk about a much larger range of topics and in various tenses. Woohoo! New vocab word of the day that came up in conversation “vikingo”. Looking forward to the next class tomorrow. I’m now getting reading for a 4 month trip through South America and Spain and feeling listo for the challenge. -Fred

    Sandra is the best Spanish Tutor on this platform hands down. I've taken a number of classes and courses over the years, and Sandra is by far the best at taking a holistic approach to the language, ensuring I understand not only the grammar and reading, but ensuring I can actual use what I learn through listening and conversation practice. She makes it easy to understand, corrects gently, provides homework and even adapts the lessons to topics I'd like to cover and learn more about. I've never been as confident in the language as I am now after my time with her. You will not regret booking with Sandra. She's top notch!

    I chose Victor because of his specific DELE examiner experience and it was invaluable! He gave great guidance on what to expect on test day. We worked through several timed mock exam exercises of the speaking portion as if it was test day. After, he gave me step by step feedback and corrections. I would highly recommend Victor as a tutor and especially if you're preparing for a DELE exam!

    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 really enjoyed my lesson with Gibran. He has a great sense of humor and makes conversation feel relaxed and natural. I especially appreciate learning the Mexican Spanish that people actually use in everyday conversation, including natural expressions and ways of saying things that you don’t usually learn from formal classes. He listens carefully, gives helpful corrections, and explains things clearly when I have questions. He’s friendly, patient, and easy to talk to, and I look forward to our next lesson. I highly recommend him, especially to anyone who wants to improve their conversational Spanish and learn more natural Mexican Spanish.

  • Kristen

    Learning Spanish

    Wow, that was fantastic!! I told her before the lesson that I had a lot of problems with situations where I had learned the grammar rules but couldn't remember them fast enough while I was talking and made frequent mistakes. During the lesson, she asked me questions where I would answer using different tenses. Then we watched some videos, and she would hit pause during the video to ask me questions about what had just happened or what someone had said, and have me answer in different tenses (present tense for the first video, past tense for the second). She also managed to work in a few situations where I could use the future or the subjunctive. She was patient and waited when I was struggling to find words, but also knew when I was struggling too much and needed a hint. By the end of the lesson she had a pretty thorough picture of my grammatical strengths/weaknesses and had a plan for where we would start in our next lesson. GREAT first lesson!!

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.

  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.

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.
