About Me

My name is Nil and I am currently on exchange in Helsinki for four months. I grew up in a small village in the Catalan Pyrenees, where I lived until I was 15. Since then, I have had the opportunity to live and study abroad: I completed high school in Denmark and I am now studying Economics at university in the Netherlands.

Living in three different countries has made me open-minded, adaptable, and very used to meeting new people and experiencing different cultures. I would describe myself as curious, dynamic, and motivated to share my language and culture with others.

I also have previous teaching experience: in my former school I led a Spanish club for two years, where I taught the same group of students and helped them improve their language skills. This experience showed me how rewarding it is to guide others in learning Spanish.

Now, while in Helsinki, I would like to continue teaching Spanish — especially focusing on communication, speaking, and listening — so that learners can gain confidence and use Spanish naturally in real situations.

Education

Experience / Qualifications

I have experience teaching Spanish through an extra-curricular Spanish club that I ran for two years at my school in Denmark, where I helped fellow students improve their Spanish through conversation, exercises, and practical activities. Beyond teaching, I have also worked in various roles such as hospitality, which helped me develop strong communication and interpersonal skills.

Hello,

My name is Santiago and I am native Spanish speaker from Uruguay. I am offering individual and personalized virtual Spanish classes to improve both your oral and written communication. The main focus of my classes is focused on developing fluent and structured communication of the Spanish language either to prepare international exams, or to be able to communicate properly in the professional field or to reinforce and maintain prior knowledge of this language.

I am a graduate, graduated from Florida Gulf Coast University in the USA. Having learned English as a child at the Ivy Thomas Memorial School in Uruguay, and lived a year and a half in Thailand, followed by 4 years in the USA I acquired great knowledge and fluency in the English language.

In Thailand I spent a year and a half studying communication arts, which helped me, prepare for my studies in the US. I had several communication classes, learning techniques of how to speak better using not only our words but also our body to help us speak more naturally, calmly, and without getting nervous if we get stuck or forget what we wanted to say. During my career in the US, I was constantly writing essays for my classes, in addition to having to present projects in front of my teachers and classmates. At the same time, I was working at university and after graduation I worked for a year, mainly having long phone conversations with people from all over the country.

If what you are looking for is to improve your knowledge of the Spanish language, I will help you. My methodology is simple. Each person is different and I adapt the content of my classes to the needs and interests of my students. We all learn in different ways and at different times,

I find that the easiest way to learn a language is through exposure and practice, that's why I encourage conversation in my classes. No language is easy to learn but if you put in the work i guarantee that you will be able to understand and generate your own opinions in Spanish. The amount of time that it takes to learn Spanish depends on the work you put into it but if you study at least four times a week for four months you will be an A2-B1 student.

Clases Español:
Hola muy buenas, soy estudiante universitario en España y estoy en Helsinki durante un tiempo. Soy Español y Canadiense por lo que soy nativo en ambos idiomas (español e inglés). Toda mi vida he hablado ambos idiomas y en España doy clases de Inglés por lo que tengo experiencia. Me sé adaptar a cualquier nivel ya que he estado en esa posición a lo largo de mi vida. Estoy dispuesto a dar clases tanto en persona como online, también puedo dar clases tanto individuales como grupales.

Spanish classes:
Hello, I'm a university student in Spain and I am in Helsinki for a while. I am Spanish and Canadian so I am native in both languages (Spanish and English). All my life I've spoken both languages and in Spain I teach English, so I have experience teaching. I know how to adapt to any level as I have been in that position throughout my life. I am willing to give classes both in person and online,

Espanjan tunnit:
Olen yliopisto-opiskelija Espanjassa ja olen Helsingissä jonkin aikaa. Olen espanjalainen ja kanadalainen, joten puhun äidinkielenäni molempia kieliä (espanjaa ja englantia). Koko elämäni olen puhunut molempia kieliä ja Espanjassa opetan englantia, joten minulla on kokemusta molemmista kielistä. Osaan sopeutua mihin tahansa tasoon, koska olen ollut siinä asemassa koko elämäni ajan. Olen valmis antamaan tunteja sekä henkilökohtaisesti että verkossa, voin myös antaa yksilö- ja ryhmätunteja.

Kiitos ja toivon, että voimme parantaa espanjan kielen yhdessä.

My name is Roberto , and I am a Spanish teacher for foreigners and a university student. I am fluent in English because I have lived abroad and have studied my whole life in both international and bilingual schools, which brings a lot of fluency to my classes. I am also a person with virtually unlimited patience and very calm; I strive to be well understood and have no problem explaining something several times.

Regarding Spanish classes, I can provide both colloquial and slightly more sophisticated and cultured vocabulary, applied to various contexts. My main objective in these classes is to make them as dynamic as possible, and rather than imparting a theoretical class, the methodology we will follow will be to engage in conversations as we get to know each other and share curiosities. With this approach, we will leave behind the fear of making mistakes and find a safe and comfortable space in which to develop the class.

I also have a group of teachers who will accompany us in many activities, and with whom we can join together to learn collectively.

I am a dedicated young woman, who longs to share her knowledge and love for the Spanish language through teaching. With a warm and patient personality, I seek to inspire my students by searching for innovative and entertaining methods. In addition, having conversations and speaking so that pronunciation and speaking are easier for you.
On the other hand, it helps with preparation for exams or assignments. My goal is to advance the student without overloading him.
If you are a beginner, don't worry, I will teach you the most basics of the language and thus you will learn in a simple and fun way.

First, I would like to get to know you better: what is your starting point with Spanish, and what would you like to achieve? Based on that, we can start planning.

I can offer lessons that focus more on conversation games, or we can combine them with grammar and writing exercises, depending on what you prefer.

I offer live and online lessons with a very flexible schedule

I'm 24 years old, with a degree in Music and Education, and I have experience teaching students of all ages. I'm responsible and prefer planning lessons before starting. However, I'm also flexible; as a musician, I value improvisation and always aim to have a good time :)

Hi everyone!

My name is Noelia, and I am a native Spanish speaker with a degree in Early Childhood and Primary Education, as well as 7 years of experience working in kindergartens and schools. I am a dedicated, creative, dynamic, and passionate educator who is committed to providing engaging and meaningful learning experiences for students of all ages.
Since moving to Finland, I have immersed myself in the Finnish education system both through my professional work and university courses at Finnish universities. I’m currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Organizational Education, focusing on coaching, emotional intelligence, and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), which has further enriched my teaching approach.

In my work with children, I use handmade materials and play-based learning methods to reinforce grammar, vocabulary, and conversational skills. My goal is to foster holistic development, supporting both academic growth and emotional well-being in a balanced and safe environment.

If you are an adult looking to improve your conversational Spanish skills, if you are beginner or want to start and want to expand your vocabulary, I would be happy to help you. Through conversations on topics of your interest, we can create a relaxed and comfortable time to practice and expand your daily vocabulary. These moments will be especially useful for travel, daily life in Spanish-speaking environments, or simply understanding basic instructions. All levels are welcome!

I look forward to the opportunity to support your learning journey, whether you are a parent seeking to enrich your child's education or an adult looking to improve your Spanish skills.

Thank you for your time, and I hope to connect with you soon!
