I am a certified Spanish teacher and an official DELE examiner at the Instituto Cervantes. I hold a Master’s degree in Spanish as a Foreign Language. I am currently pursuing a PhD in Applied Linguistics for Language Teaching and completing an International Master’s in Bilingualism with IB Certification in Teaching and Learning.
I have extensive teaching experience in academies and universities across Europe and Asia, as well as over six years of experience teaching online.
I offer individualized programs for all levels of the Common European Framework of Reference (A1–C2), with specialization in:
- 📘 General Spanish (children, teenagers, and adults)
Progress from beginner to advanced through a structured, dynamic, and communicative approach tailored to your goals and learning pace.
- 🗣️ Communicative Spanish
Conversation-focused sessions designed to improve pronunciation, fluency, grammatical accuracy, and active vocabulary expansion.
- 🎯 Spanish for Specific Purposes
Personalized training for specific contexts such as travel, professional settings, academic needs, or presentation preparation.
- 📝 Official Exam Preparation (DELE, SIELE, IB, CCSE)
Train with a certified examiner and learn real assessment strategies to maximize your score.
- 🎓 Spanish for University Admission
Linguistic and academic preparation aimed at meeting admission requirements and succeeding in a university environment.
Feel free to let me know if you would like to focus on a particular area or prefer a specific class style. Each program is tailored to your objectives and learning style. In general, my lessons combine an active communicative approach with grammar explained clearly, simply, and in an easy-to-apply way.
If you plan to take the DELE or SIELE exam, I guarantee thorough preparation and continuous guidance so you can approach the exam with full confidence. I teach online from Japan with a very flexible schedule, and I will gladly adapt lessons to your availability while guiding you toward solid, measurable progress.

I have been having classes with Lucia to prepare for my Dele B1. She has a very systematic approach to prepare for this exam, and is always punctual and has the right materials ready. She is an excellent instructor and I do hope to make further progress by taking classes with her.
Lucía isn’t just an exceptional language instructor. She’s a genuine companion in the learning journey. With her deep linguistic expertise and insight, she meets you exactly where you are. For me, Spanish had always been a patchwork, familiar but scattered. Lucía saw that and crafted each lesson specifically for me, precisely tailored to fit just right.
She even went the extra mile, dedicating her time and effort to figure out where I stumbled, noting down every tricky word that I struggled with. The way she used AI to craft materials pinpointing my weak spots was incredibly thoughtful and effective, and my progress came faster than I’d imagined. And when grammar, that infamous hurdle, got overwhelming, she had a gift for making it engaging and approachable.
Her serene patience felt endless, always steady and comforting, even when I needed something explained five times. Thanks to her, I didn’t just regain confidence in Spanish, I felt genuinely supported, both intellectually and emotionally. Lucía is like a shaft of sunlight, casting warmth and lighting the path, just as her name suggests.
If you want someone who not only adapts to you but walks beside you, Lucía is that rare gem.
Nora was delighted with Lucia's class. She will continue to improve her grammar and reading comprehension with her.

Lucia is a great teacher. I had an amazing first lesson and looking forward to learning more with her.
I've been taking C2 exam preparation classes for almost two months, and I've already made a lot of progress. The teacher has a wealth of material and exercises tailored to what I want to learn. The classes have been fun and personalized, and I plan to continue with her until the exam to be fully prepared. She knows the format and what to expect on the test very well. She listens attentively and always answers my questions. Thank you so much!
