Hello, Spanish learner! I am Isabel, your Spanish teacher.
I am a professional online Spanish teacher for 3 years. I am a native speaker from Colombia.
My lessons are completely in Spanish because I want you to speak as much as possible. During my lessons, we will focus on conversation and pronunciation. But a typical lesson also contains a vocabulary topic and a grammar topic.
I will focus on your needs and your mistakes to improve your Spanish as quickly as possible. In the first lesson, we will do a level test to check your current level (CEFR A1, A2, B1, B2, C1)
If you would like to improve your Spanish, learn more about the South American culture, gastronomy and traditions, I am your teacher! Or if you just want to talk in Spanish, about any subject you like, I would be happy to meet you online.
Send me a message and I will provide you a 30-minute free trial lesson!
See you online on Skype.
Your Spanish teacher, Isabel

Learning Spanish is no big deal now, it´s a huge accomplishment. I´m here to help you to learn this marvelous language as easy as possible. I count on a 10 years’ experience of teaching Spanish. Therefore, for whatever reason – travel, apply to university, DELE exams, speaking to family or friends, work, or love- I will guide you along the way, from beginner to advanced.
First of all, I need to know your goal because it would let me design a plan especially for you to help you achieve it. Generally, we will follow the communicative approach. We don’t just dive right into verb tenses or lists of vocabulary words. Instead, I prefer to teach you the ins-and-outs of the Spanish language in a more different way! So, we will be using a variety of resources such as movies, songs, essays, stories, news and interviews, etc.
If you want to know more about me, I should say I´m studying Advanced Hispanic Studies for a PHD degree at the University of Valencia. I hold a master´s degree in General Linguistics and a Bachelor's degree in Spanish Language. As a teacher, I’ve held online classes, face to face classes and several courses at different institutes and the University of Applied Science and Technology in my country of origin, Iran.
One thing more, I am a big fan of learning new languages and like to do it enjoying it. I will always make sure that you are enjoying learning Spanish.
Don’t hesitate more and let’s start together. Why don't you just book your first session with me?

A very kind teacher who does everything possible to achieve your goals. He is very smiling and youthful too, so the good vibes cannot be absent from the classes. In addition, his way of teaching is very professional and he organizes all the classes according to your preferences. Being an examiner accredited by the Cervantes Institute, she offers you help at all levels. And lastly, she is a very motivating person. From the first class I had with her, my motivation has multiplied more and more. I recommend it with all my heart.
Noelia N.Thanks, Bence! It is a luxury to have students like you. :)

I am very grateful that I found Noelia as a Spanish teacher. Your lessons are very well prepared and adapted to the level of knowledge of the student. The lessons include grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation, which are, however, entertaining and interesting. Noelia speaks very clearly, so that you can understand her very well even with less knowledge of Spanish. Lessons with Noelia are a lot of fun, she is very open-minded, friendly and always in a good mood.
Noelia N.It's a pleasure, Laura! :)
