I’m Nicole, a 28-year-old Ecuadorian, who just moved to Australia. When I was 15 years old I had to learn English crazily. I went to high school in a very small town in West Virginia (I know, google it 😅) with no English knowledge at all. Back there weren’t any Spanish speakers who taught English, but I had to pass the course right? So I learned it from the environment. I think that involving in the culture makes it easier to learn a language because you don’t feel obligated to do it, but you enjoy it. Let’s make knowledge fun!

(ONLY Available for ONLINE Lessons) Hello everybody!!! I'm Sixto, a savvy, fun, and experienced tutor with more than 2 years of experience in online teaching adults as well as kids from the age of 11. Lately, I have mainly focused on Business Spanish. I'm very patient and understanding because I know Spanish can be a long journey. In our lessons, we are going to speak most of the time but for sure I can help you with other aspects of the language if you need it. Just let me know what would be your goals and interests. Each student is unique in their skills, levels, and learning style. I tailor my classes to suit every student's wants and needs because it is a completely different approach if your native language is English, French, or Portuguese. For example, some of my students prefer to focus just on improving their speaking skills in that case we spend more time on stress, rhythm, and intonation; others have some specific needs that involve more grammar and writing that can be used in a business setting, travels, and coursework. Reach out to me today and let's improve your Spanish in a wonderful, fun, and engaging class. See you in class.

ONLINE LESSONS ¡Hola! I'm going to help you understand why you have to say "Soy estudiante" and not "estoy estudiante." Why do "hola," "hablo," and "ahora" never have a sound in the letter "h"? And why is it correct to say "estudiante alto" or "estudiante alta," but not "chica alto" and "chica alta"? And the most important aspect of the Spanish language is... that the pronunciation you learn for each word will remain the same! You won't need to ask your Latino friends to pronounce it for you because you'll already know it. ;) By the way, I've been teaching Spanish for four awesome years. Do you want to learn Spanish with a fun and engaging teacher? Well, look no further because that's exactly what I do! I've had the pleasure of teaching some amazing students from Singapore, France, South Korea, and mostly Australia. So, how does learning with me sound? If you choose to learn Spanish with me, you can expect to reach a basic level in four months. All it takes is dedicating a minimum of 2-3 hours per week to our lessons. Consistency and regular practice are ALL! Here's what you can expect from my lessons: 1. Personalised to your needs and goals. 2. One or two days a week, depending on your availability. 3. Flexible scheduling, so you can reschedule if life gets in the way. 4. I'll provide you with all the materials and even some optional homework for extra practice. 5. We'll keep things interactive and relevant to real-life situations, so you'll enjoy the learning process. 6. No need to stress about taking notes. Just focus on listening and speaking; I'll handle the rest. By the way, I have the best Spanish accent for beginners! 😉

TUTOROO is a website that connects you with private, in-person language tutors. We now work with 350,000 tutors in more than 160 cities. We match genuine native speakers with people who want to enhance their conversational skills in any language at their preferred place and time.
The most difficult part in learning a foreign language is the practice, which can be acquired only by conversing with a native speaker. For people willing to practice foreign languages, it is difficult to find a private language tutor who lives or works in their city. TUTOROO has been designed to provide a frictionless experience while connecting tutors to students, for private in-person language lessons.
"I've studied with a native tutor for two months because I'm traveling this week. These classes helped me a lot! I loved TUTOROO and am already recommending it to my friends."
- Mark Bariche
"I found the perfect tutor for me, I became able to speak in another language and enjoyed meeting new people from other cultures. I've improved my language skills, without traveling abroad. Thanks TUTOROO!"
Leila Zhing
"Speaking in another language is no longer difficult with the help of a teacher. Getting corrections for your mistakes helps you continue to improve in each lesson."
Andrew Guney
Learning with a private tutor means you get to learn at your own pace, ask questions whenever you choose and get undivided attention. If you join a group class, you may experience Spanish lessons that are either too slow or go too fast for you.
Here are some top benefits of learning Spanish with a private tutor:
It's true that people have different learning techniques and styles which are in accordance with their learning skills. Although we all have a blend of learning styles, there is a primary style of learning.
For instance, traditional Spanish classes may focus too much on your vocabulary and quizzes. However, if you're not so good with quizzes, you may get the impression that Spanish is difficult or you'll never get to be fluent in it.
When you take lessons with a private Spanish tutor, you can discuss your preferred learning style with your tutor. Also, your tutor will use the best method of explaining difficult topics to you. Private tutoring helps you to be comfortable while learning and not be put under pressure from being with other students.
One benefit of having a private Spanish tutor is that it allows you to concentrate, offering better results. According to studies, where you take classes can determine how much you'd learn. Also, once you have a particular place where you learn, you can be 100% focused and retain more information. After all, the main essence of taking private Spanish lessons is to learn effectively.
Other benefits are:
From Northern and Southern America to Asia and some parts of Europe, there are about 20 countries in the world where people’s mother tongue is Spanish.
Spanish is a global language and it comes right behind Mandarin Chinese as the second most spoken language in the world. The continent with the most Spanish speakers is the Americas. Mexico has about 110 million native Spanish speakers.
Here is a list of the countries where Spanish is used as the official language:
Like Italian, Romanian, Portuguese and French, Spanish is a Romance language. By Romance, we do not mean it is a language of love (although we must admit that many people find Romance languages romantic), it means that the language evolved from Vulgar Latin.
Spanish has its root in the Iberian peninsula which is situated in southwest Europe (present-day Portugal and Spain). Spanish was formed by the Castilian continuation of Vulgar Latin mixed with the Moors' Arabic dialect. After many years of both languages being mixed, standard Spanish was birthed in the 1200s.
In the world, there are over 450 million native Spanish speakers. Right behind Spanish is English with about 360 million native speakers, making it the third most spoken language in the world. Additionally, Spanish ranks as the third most studied language in the world coming after French and English.
Adding to the number of native Spanish speakers, there are about 75 million people in the world that speak Spanish as their second language. Although the US has about 12 million bilingual Spanish speakers and 42 million native speakers, it is the second country with the largest Spanish speakers (Mexico is first). According to a study, there are predictions that the US will overtake Mexico to be the largest Spanish speaking country by 2050.
One of the 24 official languages of the European Union is Spanish. It is also spoken by a small number of people in countries like Germany, the UK, Italy and France.
Without a doubt, there are many things you stand to gain when you take Spanish lessons. Not only is Spanish one of the world's most popular languages, but it is also a beautiful language with an interesting history and culture. Additionally, there are about 20 million people in the world studying Spanish in some capacity.
Looking to add another language to your portfolio? Here are some reasons to learn Spanish:
This has to be the most important reason why you should study Spanish. About 6% of the world's population speaks Spanish with it being the mother tongue of over 400 million people. Interestingly, it ranks ahead of English which is a global language.
About 15% of the residents of the European Union speak Spanish as either their first or second language. Likewise, in the US, Spanish is the popular choice of a second language.
Although learning Spanish can boost your traveling experience in Latino countries, it helps you to work in any Spanish speaking country. When you take Spanish lessons, you have a better chance of studying in a Spanish institution.
When you learn Spanish, you can get out of your comfort zone and immerse yourself in a Spanish speaking country. The time you spend with the locals not only influences how fluent you become in a short while but also boosts your knowledge of the language. Also, prospective employers in a Spanish based organisation prefer candidates that can communicate effectively in Spanish like a local.
According to studies, you get better at speaking your mother tongue when you learn a second language. It helps you critically analyze your mother tongue and its rules. Also, you pay more attention to sentence structures allowing you to write more complicated sentences in your mother tongue.
Other benefits of learning Spanish include,
Let's compare learning a new language to being an athlete. Athletes make it look easy on the field but they have put hours into their sport practice and at times where they really felt like giving all up. Like being an athlete, to learn any language at all, you have to understand it's not easy. However, the fact it's tasking doesn't mean it's difficult.
To learn Spanish, you need plenty of practice, dedication, enthusiasm and talent. Also, your knowledge of a second language can determine how easily you learn Spanish. Learning a new language becomes easy if you've learnt one or two languages before.
In addition, your knowledge of a Romance language can help you learn Spanish easily. Spanish is similar to Italian and Portuguese. However, if you're a native English speaker, things can get pretty difficult.
Being a native English speaker shouldn't stop you from learning Spanish. For instance, Spanish and English share similar sentence structures. Also, some Spanish words are easy to coin from English words which are referred to as English-Spanish cognates.
Spanish is quite similar to English making it a category 1 language. Owing to this, it will take you about two years to become fluent in Spanish if you study for one hour a day. However, you can choose to speed things up by learning Spanish with a private tutor for more than one hour every day.
Studying for a minimum of three hours daily can get you to conversation fluency in around six months. Summarily, the more time you spend studying Spanish, the quicker you achieve fluency.
While full immersion is advised, you can have fun while learning Spanish by watching famous Spanish movies, travelling to Spain or reading Spanish novels.
To work in a Spanish speaking country, study there or get Spanish citizenship, you need to show you're proficient in the language. All Spanish proficiency tests follow The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) standard.
Typically, CEFR, determines how competent you are in a language ranging from A1 which is beginners to C2 (master). Also, the four levels are listening, reading, speaking and writing. Here are the common Spanish proficiency tests you can take.
DELE is suitable for citizenship and Visa seekers, working professionals and post-secondary students. Also, the Spanish Ministry of Education, Culture, and Sport grants the official certification while it's issued by Instituto Cervantes.
All DELE exams follow CEFR grading criteria. Interestingly, it has no expiration date and the passing score for any level in the DELE exam is 60 points. Also, it has six levels of competence,
SIELE is suitable for working professionals and post-secondary students. The SIELE certificate, unlike DELE, only covers C1, B2, B1, A2, and A1 of the CEFR. Also, the certificate expires after five years and has further divisions of four, SIELE global, speaking, writing and listening.
Each SIELE test is graded on a scale of 0 to 250 and results are available after three weeks of taking the test.
Other Spanish proficiency tests include
