Methods are flexible depending on your level, goals, and preferences. For example, we can
- do conversation practice
- read something you're interested in in Spanish together
- have a traditional lecture with practice exercises
- go over questions that came up during a course you're taking.

I don't believe that formal grammar is absolutely necessary to learn a language, but I've learned a fair amount about it, so if you want to go there, I'm prepared to go there.

All questions are good questions!

Some quotations from my evaluations when I taught Latin and Greek as a grad student:

"Silvio was a delight to work with. His mastery of [Greek] is impressive, and his joy at sharing his enthusiasm for it is inspiring."

"Silvio is the most patient human being I have ever met. . . . He is very understanding in how difficult Latin can be and never talks down to us like we're stupid."

"I have nothing bad to say about this instructor . . . he has made learning a completely new language (not to mention a dead language) engaging and easy."

Methods are flexible depending on your level, goals, and preferences. For example, we can
- use the traditional grammar-translation method
- read something in Greek or Latin that you're interested in together
- practice having a conversation in Greek or Latin
- go over questions that came up during a course you're taking.

All questions are good questions!

The methods will depend on your level, your goals, and your preferences. For example, we can do
- conversational practice
- reading something in English on a topic that interests you
- traditional lessons
- resolution of doubts that arise in a course

I don't think formal grammar is absolutely necessary to learn a language, but I do have training in it, so if you have grammar questions, I'm prepared. I know that all languages are difficult to learn, and English is a little more difficult than expected. Every question is a legitimate question!

Dear student/Querido alumno

My name is Denise I’m a Mexican Spanish as Foreign Language tutor (ELE Español Lengua Extranjera as acronym) certified by "Escuela Internacional Cervantes" with a Bachelor in Spanish Literature by the University of Nuevo León Mexico (UANL).

I started teaching and tutoring Spanish at a very young age helping my colleagues from High School achieve better scores and later I formalize this activity while finishing my university studies.
For the last seven years, I’ve been teaching Spanish in America and Europe to a broad variety of students: children/teenage tutoring, in-company adult students, online orientation and freelance translation for diverse projects.

I follow a flexible method adapting to the student’s level and personal goals.
During our classes the student will receive exercises, activities and extra resources as a plus for their class time.
My tools are diverse: textbooks, videos, podcast, newspapers, etc.
We can also discuss politics, arts, fashion or your favorite topic in order to develop your verbal or grammatical skills.

I invite you to contact me so we can achieve our learning goals together.

My name is Dani and I am Mexican. I always ask my students about their specific goals and their preferred way of learning a language. In my classes I like to take a conversational approach, but this depends entirely on the needs of my students. I use different books with different didactic material, mostly Aula Plus and Bitacora. I also try to practice all skills: talking, writing and listening. If the student wants it, I leave homework, which I correct during the week before the next lesson, so that we can make the most of the lesson time. I share a word or phrase of the week with my students to build a useful vocabulary. Teaching is my passion. I feel motivated by the progress of my students, which I believe also keeps them motivated. German and Spanish are my native languages and I speak fluent English, I also speak fluent Dutch (with a little accent). Therefore, I can explain concepts in all these languages. However, I prefer to speak Spanish as much as possible, also for the beginners lessons, because I believe that people learn the language better that way.

I have a FPELE certificate: Spanish as a Foreign Language Teacher Training. And I have taught A1 to B2 level at a language institute in Spain.

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 and another in International Education and Bilingualism. I am also an IB teaching certified professional. I am currently a PhD candidate in Applied Linguistics for Language Teaching. I have extensive teaching experience in academies and universities in Europe and Asia, as well as five years of online teaching experience.

I offer individualized programs for all levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (A1–C2), with specialization in:

- General Spanish (for adults, teens, and children): Level up from total beginner to advanced!
- Communicative Spanish (discussion sessions to improve pronunciation, fluency, and vocabulary expansion)
- Spanish for Specific Purposes (travel, business, academic)
- Preparation for DELE, SIELE and IB exams

Each program is tailored to your goals and learning style, combining an active communicative approach with functional grammar analysis. For those taking the DELE exam, I guarantee thorough preparation and ongoing support so you can approach the exam with complete confidence. I work online from Spain with a very flexible schedule; I'm happy to adapt classes to your availability and guide you toward solid, measurable progress. I also offer in-person classes in Málaga (starting in December).

If you'd like to improve your Spanish level, whether for travel, professional communication, or certifying your language skills, I'd be happy to support you on your journey. Write me, and we'll design your study plan together!

And if you enjoy the class, please consider leaving me a review! 😊🌟 Thank you!

I'll see you in class!

Oral and written Spanish courses to complement or constitute a complete training program.

As a teacher with a "dual hat", I trained in music (piano, which I also offer lessons in) and languages.

Having degrees in English, Spanish, Catalan, German and French, I work on the mechanisms of language construction, where transmission seems to me an essential pillar.

I travel to Paris East, Montreuil, Saint Mandé, Vincennes and Bagnolet.

In each lesson, you’ll practice:

-Speaking in full sentences

Spanish language is the fourth most spoken Language in the world (about 558 Millionen). Every day more people are interested in learning this language, not only for travel, but also as a language for business or to make new friends.

Also, I want to include conversations used in everyday life, so that students can feel comfortable.
Given my experience as a translator, I can review and correct texts in different fields.

🌐 The Communicative Approach – inductive grammar with a focus on speaking and writing production (through real-world materials, videos, and listenings).

🌐 The Direct Method – language learning through cultural diversity and travel.

🌐 The Affective-Humanistic Approach – creating a calm classroom environment where students feel safe to make mistakes.

🌐 The Comprehension Approach – often used with beginners to build confidence before encouraging language production.

🗣️ Assessment methods: hands-on projects, role-plays, and made-to-measure tests
