(ONLY Available for ONLINE Lessons) Hi there! My name is Jorge, I'm from Madrid, Spain. I’ve been working as a Spanish tutor giving face-to-face and online lessons to students from many countries around the world in the last 7 years. Teaching Spanish is something I have been doing for a long time and I am very happy because it is something that I love to do. (Since I was a kid I taught other classmates who came from other countries and had difficulty learning the language). During the lessons we will be working on 4 key points to learning a language, these are: Oral Expression, Written Expression, Reading Comprehension and Listening Comprehension. We will practice this every day in an interactive way through dynamic exercises working the 4 key points mentioned above. With all this, I hope you are ready to start learning Spanish in an effective and fun way. If you have any questions, do not hesitate in asking me! (Only suitable for young learners)

(Only Available for Online lessons) Hi! I'm a 19-year-old university student, currently cursing my second year of my business degree. I am a native Spanish citizen, open to teaching my mother tongue to anyone interested in learning it. Spanish has become an increasingly important language worldwide, with about one third of the world population being able to speak it! It is actually not a difficult language to learn, and if studied consistently, one can reach a good level in a quite short period of time! I believe that practice is the best way to learn, especially when it comes to learning a language, so most of the class will be conversational and, of course, taking place in Spanish. My teaching will be complemented by English, language in which I am also fluent, to support the language learning process. I have previous tutoring experience in Spanish, English and French, as well as Maths and Business. My students were always very pleased with my teaching and have so far only received positive feedback for my dedication and kindness. Looking forward to meeting you, future Spanish learner!

(Only available for Online Lessons) Hi. My name is Bea, I am a Spanish teacher from Toledo, a city in the center of Spain, near Madrid, so I am a native speaker and I have a neutral Spanish accent. Besides, I am a DELE examiner from Cervantes and I have experience preparing students for SIELE and DELE exams (A1-C2 levels). I have more than 15 years of experience giving private lessons. I lived in England for 7 years and I taught Spanish as a first language to Spanish students who were living in England so they could improve their mother tongue and I have taught Spanish as a second language to students from different international countries such as Scotland, England, Poland, Russia, Turkey, India, Bosnia, Ukraine, Italy, Letonia, United States or South Africa. I use different methods according to my student's interests and backgrounds. I have so many resources and materials already from my years of experience, for example, we could watch a short video in relation to the present topic, listen to a song to improve the listening skill, or focus on traveling vocabulary doing role-plays. I don't follow only one book. I like to have a guide about what the student would like to improve or learn and from there, I will give different materials. I prepare my students to get a CEFR level, to learn and focus on a specific topic, grammar, vocabulary for work, to learn a language to travel abroad, or just to improve the language. We can learn Spanish together and at the same time we can learn about Spanish culture: learning about different places to visit in Spain, knowing how to buy food in Spanish to prepare delicious recipes from different places in Spain or getting the vocabulary and structures to be able to order your lunch when you go to a restaurant. I will prepare the lessons according to your needs, showing you tricks to learn or remember specific Spanish grammar. We can have a long-term course to learn at your pace. I also offer intensive courses to get ready for an exam or learn quicker the language. I teach online lessons via Skype at the best time for both and I also teach offline lessons. When I work offline with my students I send all the material to practice all the skills desired, then, I check it and send feedback to you.

Spanish FAQs
What are the Benefits of Learning Spanish with a Private Tutor?
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:
Customized Spanish classes
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.
It offers better results
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:
- You get continuous feedback from your Spanish tutor
- Private lessons improve your confidence and self-esteem
- You can suggest the topics you're specifically interested in learning
- You get to learn Spanish any day you choose. It offers flexibility
- You have the full attention of your Spanish tutor
Which Countries Use Spanish as their Official Language?
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:
- Colombia
- Argentina
- Equatorial Guinea

How Many People in the World Speak Spanish?
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.
