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.

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)

Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to work with students from all over the world, helping them to improve their Spanish language skills and gain a deeper understanding of Hispanic culture.

Aside from my professional pursuits, I am also a music lover and have a particular interest in flamenco singing. I hope to see you soon in class and start this journey together! I like what I do. During my experience learning languages I've came to know how to better teach my students. I have over five years experience teaching languages and have been trained by Instituto Cervantes. My target is for you to learn Spanish and know how to use it in the right situation, according to your goals. I do this through an adaptive approach to meet your specific needs.

Certified teacher: 20+ years teaching kids Spanish & ASL! **I teach Spanish and sign language to kids — with results parents can actually see** My students pick up communication fast because lessons focus on speaking (or signing) from day one, not memorizing rules. Parents tell me their kids ask for the next class, and many deaf kids end up communicating fluently with hearing family for the first time — sometimes in just weeks. **Methodology & experience** I studied early childhood education and have taught for 17 years in person, plus 6 online, with kids ages 1-12, both deaf and hearing. That's taught me to adapt every lesson to how each kid learns: games, puppets, songs, flashcards, and lots of hands-on practice. I keep "textbook" Spanish to a minimum and focus on real, contextual Spanish with movement — how kids truly retain it. ++What makes me different++ I don't just teach Spanish — I sign in ASL, Chilean, Bolivian, Indian and Turkish sign language, and I'm now learning Thai sign too. Since 2000, I've immersed myself in deaf communities worldwide to learn from the best teachers: deaf people themselves. That lets me offer something rare: helping hearing families communicate with their deaf kids or relatives, with the same warmth I bring to teaching Spanish. 20+ years in, and I still love every class like it's the first!!

Ask me about Peruvian vs. Spanish accents!) 😉 👉 TOP 1% 2022 according to iTalki as a Spanish tutor - THANK YOU! 🤓👍 ⚡ I´m an optimistic and energetic person (CHECK REVIEWS FROM OTHER STUDENTS) open to talk about any topic of your interest, no matter what level of Spanish you have. Plus, having an advanced English level (C1) and Brazilian Portuguese (A2 / B1) will help me to assist you in interpreting the language.

The idea is you find the perfect tutor for your language journey. 👉 My sessions are mainly speaking. The idea is that you practice the knowledge you already have or have learned in Spanish. 🎭 But, from time to time, I like having Spanish exercises with my students, such as listening to music, watching videos, reading, and maybe playing a game like chess. Doing these dynamics helps us to find new vocabulary. It always depends on the student. 😁

    Another great lesson with Yohenia! She is constantly helping me improve my Spanish in ways that I wouldn't thought of.

    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.

    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've been learning Spanish with Anaís for a month now, starting from zero. This is the first foreign language I’ve ever learned from scratch as an adult, so the immersion is honestly a (not so) little painful at times — there is just SO much to take in. Luckily, Anaís is pretty good at making the painful part of language immersion less painless. 😄 She’s friendly, warm, patient, and knowledgeable. Thanks to her, I can already see real progress after just a month, which is honestly pretty exciting! I’m really happy I started learning Spanish with her and would definitely recommend her!

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.

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.

Do italki's Spanish tutors offer free online Spanish lessons?

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?

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.
