From 20 $ /h

Learn Spanish with Purpose and Culture
Whether you're new to Mexico or settling in long-term, my Spanish lessons are designed to help you communicate confidently in real-life situations — at the market, on the street, or in an emergency. What truly sets my classes apart is the deep dive into Latin American and Mexican culture woven into every lesson. From everyday expressions and gestures to food traditions, social norms, and local slang, you'll learn more than just words. You'll understand the context behind them. With over three years of experience teaching both online and in person, I offer a relaxed, friendly space where language and culture come alive together.

IMPORTANT: If you decide to contact me, please remember that I can only reply through Apprentus, and I won't have any of your contact information until you have booked a class. Thank you.

About Me

Hey there, I’m Francisco, a Mexican student of Literature and Linguistics. As such, I have a good grasp on not only our culture but the way it expresses itself on the language we use, and I try to integrate that into my classes; which are usually half Spanish and half Mexican culture, and why we speak the way we do. I have a few months of experience so far, but I’m passionate about giving classes and helping people communicate the way they need to, as well as learn about my country; also, I’m eager to keep teaching since its something that rewards me in more than one level.
As a rule, I like to start with your needs, and your knowledge. The sum of those two factors then allows me to trace a path for our learning.
It will be challenging, and sometimes there will be no other choice left than to memorize because Spanish is a complex language; however. I´m patient, and I enjoy thoroughly to see my students become abler, so don’t think twice about contacting me, I’m sure we can be a great team to help you learn Spanish you need, and the Spanish you want.

For the past two decades, I've had the privilege of tutoring in both French and English. My students have ranged in age, background, and origin, spanning children, teenagers, adults, professionals, and even seniors aged 85 and above.

You might wonder why I teach both languages. Well, I am bilingual, with American and Swiss/French roots, and I currently reside in Ireland. This unique blend of experiences equips me with a strong and relevant teaching approach. I possess an intimate understanding of both cultures, enabling me to tailor my classes to the specific needs of my students.

My teaching journey began during my time studying social work in French-speaking Switzerland. I started offering private French and English lessons to supplement my income, and I quickly discovered my passion for it. Even after graduating and embarking on a full-time career, I couldn't bear to give up this rewarding activity. I cherished the opportunity to connect with diverse individuals and assist them in achieving their language goals.

In my teaching methodology, interactivity takes center stage. I employ a variety of engaging learning tools, including photos, newspaper articles, music, videos, and more. My approach is highly adaptable, with a focus on addressing each student's unique priorities. Some seek to refine their pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary, while others require assistance with presentations or speeches for school or work. Some simply aspire to acquire a new language to enrich their general knowledge. I also specialize in teaching younger children, a testament to my educational background and experience.

What you will gain from my courses extends beyond impeccable pronunciation and enhanced vocabulary and grammar. You'll also acquire a profound understanding of the culture associated with each language. When speaking a language, it's essential to appreciate the lifestyle, traditions, and heritage of the nations where it thrives. French and English are spoken as primary languages in numerous countries worldwide, each with its own unique accent and cultural nuances. The learning process is limitless!

In addition to my language instruction, I'm a genealogist and host spiritual (non-religious) seminars in the beautiful West of Ireland. My passion for vegetarian and vegan cuisine adds a flavorful dimension to my life. Furthermore, I hold a degree in Early Childhood Education and have operated a private "Before & Afterschool" facility along with Summer Camps catering to children aged 4 to 12 for many years.

I am genuinely excited about the prospect of meeting and working with you!

The objective is that: the learner masters the English language (🎧listening-comprehension,🎤 conversation, 📚 reading, grammar-pronunciation, writing...). It helps him to have language skills like native speakers. 🥇

At the same time, the learner will be 🚴‍♀️dynamic and well supervised by professional tutors who listen.
The atmosphere is distinguished: 🔥learning, interaction, no routine, no stress.

The learning tools used; videos, audios, texts, articles, images, games, stories...

We are happy to help both adults and pupils/students. If you want to learn the English language (reading, grammar, oral conversation, written production,...) or you have homework to do, or competitions/tests to take, 🏆 contact us :)

Hello everyone!
I'm Giorgia and I come from Torino, Italy.
I offer my native knowledge of Italian to any of you, who wants to discover this beautiful language.

I teach for all levels, from very beginners to advanced speakers, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age. I can also help with university exams and school works/assignments.
Being a pianist and a piano teacher, I already have lots of experience with teaching and pedagogical approach with the whole range of ages.

The lesson is intended to meet the student needs: the focus can be on the grammar, conversation or literature. In case of a middle-level speaker, the lesson will cover all four language's abilities: listening, speaking, writing and reading. My suggestion of a well planned lesson is, for any level, to divide it into two parts: grammar first and then conversation (covering all the abilities mentioned above).

Thank you for your attention and looking forward to meeting you !!

El español es uno de los idiomas con mas piases y destinos turísticos hablantes. De seguro necesitaras este idioma si planeas viajar a alguno de esos destinos paradisiacos que se encuentran en América y mas específicamente en el Caribe.
Qué tal si te pones la meta de aprenderlo como segunda lengua tanto usted como sus hijos? Yo creo es una gran decisión de su parte, piénselo que yo aquí encantada espero a que se decida.
