Hello! I’m Rafael, a native Spanish teacher with a Master’s Degree in Teaching Spanish as a Second Language (Universidad Nebrija, Spain) and more than 29 years of experience teaching students from around the world.
Every student is unique. Age, education, previous language learning, motivation, study time, and speaking practice all affect how fast you learn, so I design each class around your goals, whether that’s traveling, working, studying, or simply holding conversations with confidence.
What you can expect in my classes:
A personalized plan based on your level and goals
Real-life conversation practice from the very first class
Clear grammar explanations, only when you need them
Constant, friendly feedback on your pronunciation and mistakes
Beginners and advanced students are both welcome. Book a trial class and let’s find the best way for you to start speaking Spanish!
Spanish is one of the easiest languages for English speakers. Its pronunciation is consistent, words are read the way they are written, and many words are similar to English. The challenge comes later, with verb conjugations and the subjunctive, but with a clear plan and regular speaking practice, steady progress comes faster than most students expect.
It depends on your starting level, your goals, and how often you practice. With two or three classes per week plus a little daily practice, most students can hold basic conversations in 3 to 6 months and speak comfortably about everyday topics in 12 to 18 months. Online classes with me let you learn from anywhere, so you can practice consistently without commuting.
