Spanish lessons in the Züri-Unterland and online - Native speaker with degrees in Spanish language teaching and many years of experience
From 59 € /h
¡Hola! I am here to help you achieve your language learning goals. I am a native speaker of Spanish with a bachelor's degree in Spanish and a doctorate in Linguistics from the University of Manchester, where I carried out research in Second Language Acquisition. An enthusiastic language learner myself, I enjoy finding new, effective ways to teach and learn languages. With 20 years of experience working with teenagers and adults, I am happy to support you through your journey, no matter if you're a beginner or an experienced learner who needs practice.
I can offer:
- Communication-based grammar lessons, where we focus on a certain grammar structure (e.g. the imperfecto), we learn the usage and then practice with real-world situations
- Targeted conversation practice (structured and semi-structured around a topic)
- Accent reduction, where we learn some phonetics and IPA to improve your pronunciation
- Listening training (work with different Spanish accents or a specific one)
- Exam preparation (DELE or school exams)

About Me
I was born in Chile and lived there until 2013. After that, I moved to the UK, then to Germany, and now I live in Switzerland. Since 2007, I have taught Spanish in schools, universities, and as a private tutor. Second language acquisition has always fascinated me, and I firmly believe that anyone can master a new language, regardless of age.
In my classes, I help you develop all your language skills (reading, speaking, listening, and writing). Language content is taught within a specific context or task. You can also suggest topics for us to cover or to work on a particular aspect of language: grammar, vocabulary, or pronunciation.
