Learn Arabic with a native speaker! Arabic is a beautiful, poetic language and I'm happy to spread my love for this language to others. I will use everyday materials; texts, images, videos and audio files to help you learn, speak and use the language in everyday contexts. Weather you are a beginner or have a basic knwoledge of Arabic, I will customize your learning experience to teach you grammar and vocabulary you will actually use in life or at work. Moreover, I can teach you the Jordanian/Palestinian dialect and help you understand the rest of the Levant and the egyptian dialects.

I am Susana or just call me Su, I grew up in Venezuela but my family is from Portugal, and I have been teaching in Madrid since 3 years ago. According to my students I am patient, dedicated and arrive to each class with a positive and happy attitude. As a teacher I am optimistic and enthusiastic and always try to transmit a boundless energy and yet straight-forward -guide. I know how to handle the change for different situations and to be flexible to every one according to their needs and goals.
The classes are a wonderful balance of textbook work and general speaking and reading, which is great to help with pronunciation and real life Spanish conversations.
The only I ask from students is that they want to learn and to share their stories as I will
I hold a Certificate in Teaching Spanish as a Second Language from Pontificia Universidad Catolica del Peru. My bachelor degree is Modern Languages from Universidad de Margarita but still I am learning everyday speacially from my students.
I started my experience as an assistant Spanish teacher at CELA Spanish School in Margarita island, eight years ago. Then I moved to London for one year and worked as one to one Spanish tutor. Today I am currently living in Madrid and work as a Spanish Teacher
on line. Hope I can meet you and help you in this beautiful process. See you soon!!!

Susana is a really nice teacher, with experience teaching both online and in person. She structures her classes in a different way according to her student's level, but she always covers each one of the language learning skills. Her teaching materials are good and she also does a great use of online tools.

Hey there, it's Nico, I'm a native Italian and I am a qualified experienced teacher of Spanish, Italian and English.

I know, learning a language can be intimidating, but it isn't so bad.
It's about two things: listen and speak.

That will be my focus with you. We will have CONVERSATIONS.
You'll make mistakes... so what? We will learn from them, laugh them off and speak better and better.

If you want to learn a language from scratch, improve one you already know, if you need it for work, travelling or just for fun, contact me for a free trial and we'll see what we can do.

I hope to meet you soon :)

I was born and raised in Korea, and I have 6+ years of teaching experience in several different countries. Through such teaching experience, therefore, my teaching methods have been developed, constantly enhanced, and customised for each student’s objectives and goals. Apart from four basic communicative elements such as listening, reading, writing and speaking, other additional activities will also be provided to improve your Korean with me.

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, my name is Marina. I am a native speaker of Spanish.
I am a graduate in teaching foreign language at a Pedagogical University.
I have about 15 years of experience in teaching children, youth and adults.
In the last few years I focused on teaching Spanish online.
Online teaching has allowed me to realize what are the main difficulties that foreigners have when they want to learn Spanish.
so I have combined methods, applied strategies and fun activities to facilitate the development of pronunciation, listening and writing skills of the language.
That is why I invite you to get to know this way of learning so that soon you will be conversing fluently in the second most spoken language in the world: Spanish.

I can help you with preparation for IELTS and TEFL; for your high school or university exam. We can work on your academic and business English, or we can just work it out until you are confident enough, no need for stressing for exams.
I have 4 years of experience as a mentor of an autistic teenager. I dived more into teaching English during my work in Colombia as part of my project for environmental education.
I realized how important it is to have a good time when learning English. I am always talking to my students about THEIR interests and fears; about what do they want to improve and what do they like to do. I design the lessons for the student; then the learning happens on its own.
I want to hear what do you think? Don't worry, we are in this together. I know how nice it is to be confident in your English, and I want to help you enjoy it, too!

I practice and adopt methods according to each student’s ability. It involves assignments customised by me, daily one-to-one conversations with my students about different topics, timely tests, picking up suggestions on what is working for the student and what is not working and changing methods which would best fit the student. I’m a Finance Analyst with an experience of more than 3 years in the Corporate Industry. I also take online English classes with the utmost motive of a better community of English Speakers. Mainly based out of Mumbai and Chennai, I also know the language barriers people who work in the Corporate world and the School students face. I am here to help them

Hello everyone! My name is Matias Pizarro, but you can call me Matt. I am 30 years old, and I am from Argentina.

At first, teaching online was a challenge, not for the knowledge, the didactic or the way to get to students, but for the whole new set of resources at my disposal and how to use them effectively. The variety of tricks with the camera, magic, puppets, the limit was my imagination; that feeling was really overwhelming. But, as I said at first, I took this as a challenge, a new way of expanding my inner resourses and finally, widening my understanding about teaching.

Working with kids was the most important and significant choice in my professional career as a teacher, because I discovered the real meaning of being an educator. I understood that it's not just about teaching the subject, but guiding and supporting students; being an inspiring person. I like to comprehend teaching by a very beautiful phrase that stands: Be the person that you needed when you were young.

If you choose me as your teacher, I promise that you will learn a lot of things while having a great time together!

See you in our class! Bye!
