Just like in English, Spanish has 3 tenses:
The Spanish present tense is used to talk about what is true at the moment, what happens regularly and what is happening now. Like the English one!
pronouns | trabaj-ar | com-er | viv-ir |
---|---|---|---|
yo (I) | trabajo | como | vivo |
tú (you) | trabajas | comes | vives |
él / ella / usted (He/She/you-formal ) | trabaja | come | vive |
nosotros/-as (we) | trabajamos | comemos | vivimos |
vosotros/-as (you) | trabajáis | coméis | vivís |
ellos / ellas / ustedes (they/you-formal) | trabajan | comen | viven |

Hi! My name is Andrea and I am Italian. During the last years I have been living in Spain too, which is for me my second homecountry.
I have been studying languages at university and since I love teaching the languages I speak, I offer you a great language course of Spanish or Italian.
I can assure you great results since I use methods that work with everyone and make you realize how quick can you be when you want to learn a new language, at any level!
Also, since I have been studying many languages, it helps me to understand how to teach correctly a language to a person who doesn't have it as native language.
For me, languages are much more than just a way to communicate with someone else. Also, I think that my passion in this field helps me to transmit to the students the desire to keep studying and learning amazing languages like these.
Contact me and let's have a trial lesson! It's free! :)

Hola, qué tal!
I have always enjoyed working with languages, culture, education and people. I am originally from Venezuela so Spanish is my native language and I have been living in Belgium since 2009. My degree as Master in Industrial Sciences is equated here.
I am a teacher and since 2018 I have been teaching Spanish to adults. I am able to boost the self-confidence of my students. My lessons are for absolute beginners (direction level 1 and 2), intermediate (direction level 3) and advanced (direction level 4). Conversation is also possible. I focus on the four most important skills: speaking skills; listening skills, writing skills and reading skills. And also on grammar and spontaneous communication.
Teaching and language are just my passion and I would like to teach it to others. I work with adults and seniors, but know that every person learns in a different way. Pleasure in learning and daring to communicate are paramount to me: We use Spanish book and workbook; audio material (Spanish songs), card games and more!
Los espero!

Hello! My name is Ainhoa, I am Spanish and I live in Bilbao, a city in the north of Spain. I love languages and learning about new cultures, that is why I decided to teach Spanish. I find it very gratifying to see the students improve.
I am patient and cheerful, and I strive to create a comfortable environment where students are not afraid to make mistakes. I am positive and I firmly believe that anyone with effort, perseverance and correct accompaniment can improve.
I am an online Spanish teacher certified by ELE International and I have been teaching Spanish since 2019. In 2020 I formalized my business and became freelance.
In these years, I have studied Spanish grammar thoroughly and I have tried many teaching methods that were taught to me in my training, which has led me to create my own method with what I have seen has given better results. I use spaced repetition, create projects, do real-life rollplays, and have the student come to the correct conclusion on their own using questions. For all this, we will use manuals that will guide your learning, the campus diffusion books.
I have helped students of all levels to improve Spanish until they can speak correctly. Each student learns differently and has their own challenges, so I have learned which resources work best for each person.
In my classes you will find a smily face and a relaxed atmosphere, in which you will feel free to ask questions as much as necessary and to express yourself without fear of mistakes.
See you soon!

Hello, I'm Rosie. I strongly believe that anyone can not only learn a language, but it can happen naturally, without homework, overcoming the learning-relate traumas. Within only a couple of sessions, students start using the language spontaneously and confidently. Until the end of the course, they can successfully engage in a wide range of topics. Suggestopedia makes it all happen.
I'm a highly-qualified teacher of English and Bulgarian with over 8 years of experience in teaching students from all ages, levels and cultural backgrounds.
I use an innovative and creative methodology to help you learn up to 5 times faster with much better reinforcement compared to any traditional methodologies.
If you are curious to experience it first-hand, do not hesitate to contact me.
I will gladly welcome you to my virtual space!
Best wishes!

Hello there! My name is Phyllis Kasala and I must say I love teaching. The love for teaching and being a life-long learner found me at a tender age of 14, since then i knew it was my destiny to share my knowledge with the world. I have a bachelor's degree with the University of Pretoria and it is a very esteemed varsity i also went further and secured a Teaching English To Foreign Learners certificate (TEFL) which shows that not only do I want to learn, but I do not like limiting myself. English may be difficult to learn and understand to a person who has no clue about the language but, that's why you have me! I make sure that I teach in a relaxed and quiet environment where the learner feels safe and free to make mistakes because we all must remember making mistakes is a vital part of learning. I am currently on my journey to enroll into my honours which will be about researching how to teach learners with learning difficulties such as ADHD and much more. I cater for all learners be it visual learners, kinetic learners, auditory learners and verbal learners which basically means I cater for all, during my lessons. I make use of creative and colorful PowerPoints that have sound and easy gimmicks to help remember what you may have learnt on that specific day. So do not fret as we will walk this journey together. Just remember I am close friends with all the letters in the English alphabet and I don't know "y" (just a joke to cheer you up)!

Nicholas teaches English since 15 years to any level and age. He adaptes his lessons according student needs and demands. He uses the 3 P teaching method (Presentation, Production, Practice) which enables the student to work his/her English grammar and vocabulary and then use them to improve his/her pronunciation and speak fluently English . He uses different tools as book, exercises, videos or games. I recommend him !

Adriana is a wonderful teacher. She prepares the lessons individually for me. The lessons are very varied and include components such as grammar, pronunciation, exercises, etc. She has a lot of patience. Adriana speaks very clearly, so that you can understand her very well even if you have a less pronounced knowledge of Spanish. Adriana is a very friendly and motivating teacher. I can highly recommend her, classes with Adriana are always fun and it doesn't feel like studying but you learn a lot :-)
