Take your Spanish to the next level with a native tutor
“I just want to speak Spanish”
Sounds familiar?
Have you ever joined a language course, full of high hopes, and motivation, only to find yourself in a never-ending grammar lesson?
Maybe you are already taking Spanish as a college subject, or for fun after work, or you need to impress your Bolivian partner’s parents but feel you could use more practice.
Do you want to learn Spanish but fear that the class will be full of difficult explanations, boring exercises, and judgmental classmates?
If any of those ring true I have to congratulate you
You are in the right place to start enjoying Spanish
◊ No matter how much organised theory and fancy exercises you go through, there is nothing like practicing a language to learn it ◊
◊ There is no better way to feel you are making progress than, well, accumulate hours of actual practice ◊
◊ At the end of the day, languages are a way to communicate, it is no wonder we feel frustrated with exercises that can feel empty. ◊
Lessons
You pick the time. You pick the place
We can set a recurring day or you choose when you want to have the next class. I simply send you my calendar and you book the slot that works best for you.
Classes are Microsoft Teams based, so you can learn from the comfort of your bed or having a cup at the trendiest café.
What can you expect from
These classes
Intentional
We will look at your goals and motivations and build the sessions around them. Preparing for your next holiday, planning a backpacking trip around South America, or reinforcing your grades are all fantastic reasons to improve your Spanish but require very different approaches and we will choose what fits your purpose best.
Bespoke
I will adapt to your learning style. Some people prefer a more conventional system of corrections and explanations while others just want to have a space to practice. These are all valid and we will work with what comes more naturally to you. If you choose to, we can record the lessons.
ENJOYABLE
Sometimes you just want to enjoy a language without the pressure of exams or homework. Just two people communicating and sharing into a culture both feel close to, and that is exactly what these classes are. No stress, no pressure, just a space to enjoy Spanish.
Before you proceed
Terms of Agreement
As we say in Spain, “Las cosas claras y el chocolate espeso” here are some simple rules to help everyone get along and know where we stand. Please read them carefully as if you decide to go forward with your purchase I will understand that you have read and agreed to them.
This is a class-based plan to be paid in advance.
Preferred payment is through Revolut but if you would rather use bank transfer simply let me know..
Classes are 55 minutes and start at the agreed time.
I have a cancelation policy of 24h, after the grace period the class will be considered “Done” and you will lose it.
Time is precious to me so I always do my best not to waste yours, however, in the rare scenario that I am late I will make up for every minute at a time that we both agree on. If I need to cancel a lesson, fear not! You will not loose that class, we will simply reschedule.
The beauty of online learning is that you don’t need more than a stable internet connection, a working computer camera, microphone, and whatever tools you prefer to take notes. But make sure to have them.
Regarding recorded lessons: These are for academic purposes only and will not be used for commercial use.
1 Class
- You can choose to have each class whenever it suits you but I would advise a minimum of once per week.
