I really like my Spanish lessons with Esther. She is always friendly, patient and positive. The lessons are well prepared. When I struggle on a topic, she easily integrates extra exercises on that topic in the next lessons. The lessons always match my level and interests.

I have been teaching for a long time both for preparing official exams or for improving communication and writing skills.
I am also a translator, so I use this skill to understand better my students' needs.
I always try to adapt and design a personalised method to reach theirs aims. I normally use project-based activities that I design myself to make learners know the language at different levels and that they can be able to communicate easily.

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 :-)

I offer personalized English classes which are really suitable to the student's level and motivations.
I work equally the four main skills of the language throughout authentic materials such as songs, videos, movies or short films and even magazines and newspapers articles. I also combine my classes with course books whose levels are challenging enough to help the students to make an accurate and confident learning progress.
I offer grammar and vocabulary exercises and activities to help the students to enrich the language's development.
My classes are online within reduced groups of students to maintain classes well balanced and entertaining enough. I also offer individual lessons.
The duration of the classes are ideally 60 minutes long.

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.

My name is Alberto and I am 29 years old. I speak Spanish, English, French, German and Italian. As you might have seen, one of my passions is the study of foreign languages. I love learning them, studying them, and keeping permanently in touch with them.
I have been a foreign language teacher for eight years, and I have always obtained remarkably good results. I personnally love working as a language teacher. It is another opportunity of keeping studying one specific language whereas you are helping other people to learn.
In my clases I adapt myself to the needs of my student. We practice the speaking, the writing, or any other skill the student desires. We learn also grammar and vocabulary. I like to work with spread sheets of grammar and vocabulary to consolidate the grammar basis, but I also like using other ressources, such as films, books, videos, games, songs or articles from the newspaper.
I am quite patient comprehensive and kind. All the students that came to me with problems or difficulties bearing relation to the grammar have come through them with a great success after some lessons with me.
So I look forward to welcoming you all with open arms to help you discover a new language or improve your language skills.

Great lesson! Alberto always prepares the lessons so well that I really learn something. The material used is varied and individually tailored to what I want to practice. This is how I really enjoy my homework. The discussion of my tasks is as detailed as I would like. I've made good progress in the past few hours. Of course, punctuality is a matter of course.

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! :)

Hello! Thank you for dropping by. My name is Jinky, 28, a licensed professional teacher(Primary and Secondary) from the Philippines but I am currently in Vietnam, teaching English in an international Montessori school since 2017 as well as helping building their characters. I also have private tutoring classes with primary school kids.
I am a highly qualified English teacher, with a very extensive experience working with kids of different ages, races and different levels :)
As I have been working with diverse kids, I have observed that kids/ students learn more when they are having fun and enjoying the learning experience. That being said, I tailor all the learning materials to the preferences of the students and what interests them
I'll be by your side until you come out stronger on your grammar, listening and reading and especially your speaking skills.
I hope to see you in my class! ☺️

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!

I am originally from Vancouver, B.C., but I live in Peru now because I love sunshine. I am a very experienced teacher, as you can see in my resume, and yet I am still having a lot of fun. My teaching philosophy is to love teaching so that students will love learning. Bringing joy to the classroom is what it’s all about.

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,
I am Marcella, a native Italian who has moved to Switzerland to study.
I have a degree in Ancient Literature with a focus on archaeology, and in Italy I am qualified to teach literary classes.
I am doing a PhD in archaeology at the University of Bern, where I teach every two semesters.
I prefer to teach one-to-one or in pairs in order to make the most of my time and focus on people's needs. I prepare targeted courses, which is why I offer a trial lesson to establish the future course of the lessons.
Lessons are usually always mixed, conversation and grammar using audio, video and text material. Depending on the speed at which the student intends to progress, homework assignments are structured.
Try it for yourself! I look forward to seeing you online!
