Learn Arabic with a native speaker! Arabic is a beautiful, poetic language and I'm happy to spread my love for this language to others. I will use everyday materials; texts, images, videos and audio files to help you learn, speak and use the language in everyday contexts. Weather you are a beginner or have a basic knwoledge of Arabic, I will customize your learning experience to teach you grammar and vocabulary you will actually use in life or at work. Moreover, I can teach you the Jordanian/Palestinian dialect and help you understand the rest of the Levant and the egyptian dialects.

Bonjour,

My name is Hermione.

I have been working in English Language Teaching (ELT) since 2012. I have taught General English, Business English and Exam Preparation courses to learners of all ages and levels.

I have worked as an English teacher in England, France and Greece and as a corporate trainer on Amazon, France.

I have more than 6 years of experience in Education management. I have a BA in Balkan Studies and an MBA.

My native language is Greek and I can also speak German and Romanian. I am currently working on improving my French.

As a teacher, I believe every student deserves the opportunity to learn at their own individual pace, let curiosity direct their learning, and participate in hands-on activities that encourage growth.

My lessons are fun, creative, challenging and rewarding. I really like to tailor my lessons to suit your needs, motivation and interests.

Always remember that to learn a language is to have one more window to look at the world.

Hope to see you soon in my class!

Hello,

My name is Amina, I’m Mexican, and I have almost 3 decades of experience teaching Spanish, which is my mother language. Regarding studies, I have a major as a Chemist Biologist, a Master in Cytopathology, a doctorate in Education, an FCE certification in English, level B2.

I’ve taught oral and written communication in Spanish to Engineering students, focused on aspects such as formal writing, correct spelling, oral presentations, job interviews and professional skills in general.

So, if you are an English speaker, interested in basic, intermediate or advanced Spanish practice, rest assured that I will be a good choice for you, with a variety of different subjects, whether professional or entertainment-related, depending on your interests.

On the other hand, if you are a native Spanish speaker like me, and you want to increase your practice in the professional use of this language, writing, spelling or oral expression, I am also ready to help you.

I'm looking forward to meeting you and chat about your goals in Spanish.

I am Susana or just call me Su, I grew up in Venezuela but my family is from Portugal, and I have been teaching in Madrid since 3 years ago. According to my students I am patient, dedicated and arrive to each class with a positive and happy attitude. As a teacher I am optimistic and enthusiastic and always try to transmit a boundless energy and yet straight-forward -guide. I know how to handle the change for different situations and to be flexible to every one according to their needs and goals.
The classes are a wonderful balance of textbook work and general speaking and reading, which is great to help with pronunciation and real life Spanish conversations.
The only I ask from students is that they want to learn and to share their stories as I will
I hold a Certificate in Teaching Spanish as a Second Language from Pontificia Universidad Catolica del Peru. My bachelor degree is Modern Languages from Universidad de Margarita but still I am learning everyday speacially from my students.
I started my experience as an assistant Spanish teacher at CELA Spanish School in Margarita island, eight years ago. Then I moved to London for one year and worked as one to one Spanish tutor. Today I am currently living in Madrid and work as a Spanish Teacher
on line. Hope I can meet you and help you in this beautiful process. See you soon!!!

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?

I practice and adopt methods according to each student’s ability. It involves assignments customised by me, daily one-to-one conversations with my students about different topics, timely tests, picking up suggestions on what is working for the student and what is not working and changing methods which would best fit the student. I’m a Finance Analyst with an experience of more than 3 years in the Corporate Industry. I also take online English classes with the utmost motive of a better community of English Speakers. Mainly based out of Mumbai and Chennai, I also know the language barriers people who work in the Corporate world and the School students face. I am here to help them

I’m not here to waste your time—and I won’t let you waste mine.

I give 100%. Always. My energy, my skills, my focus—they all go into making sure you succeed. That means classes that are effective, engaging, and yes, even fun. I coach you through your doubts, push you past hesitation, and get you speaking from day one. No fluff. No empty promises. Just real progress.

Yes, my fee is high—because the quality is high.

You’re not paying for a chat. You’re paying for transformation. For results. For someone who’s fully invested in your progress and doesn’t settle for mediocre.

But this is a two-way street.

I respect your time, your goals, and your effort. I expect the same. If you’re the type to constantly complain, cancel at the last minute, or come up with excuses—don’t contact me. I have a cancellation policy and I stick to it. My time and energy are not up for negotiation.

I don’t work with arrogant people, and I’m allergic to hypocrisy.

If you’re ready to show up, do the work, and grow—I’m all in. Let’s make it happen.
Book lessons with me if you’re serious about learning—and ready to get results.

✅ Want to pass the Dutch exams “Basisinburgering A1” or “Inburgeringsexamen A2”? I’ll train you to succeed on the first try—with your full commitment and my professional, high-energy approach, we make it happen.

✅ Live in the Netherlands and still not speaking Dutch confidently? Let’s fix that. You'll connect more deeply with your environment—and with yourself.

✅ Need Italian for work, life, or pure love of the language? I’ll help you live it, not just study it.

✅ Studying Spanish for school, pleasure, or work? You’ll gain real confidence and speak it with clarity—fast.

I also help students:

– Handle real conversations with ease—from daily chats to professional meetings and presentations
– Overcome fear, shyness, and learning blocks
– Reclaim their confidence and speak like they mean it

My method? No gimmicks. We talk. A lot. From the very beginning. I use direct, spontaneous conversation, often through role plays, to get you using the language—not just studying it. I bring in books, articles, songs, and anything that keeps things alive and stimulating. Grammar becomes clear, pronunciation improves, and progress becomes natural.

I’ve taught for years—Dutch, Spanish, and Italian—in the Netherlands, in private institutes, in integration programs (Inburgering), and now online from Italy. I know what works.

CANCELLATION POLICY
Cancel at least 24 hours in advance. No exceptions. My time is precious—and yours should be too.

Want to see if we’re a good match? Contact me for a free trial. Let’s talk about your goals—and then go achieve them.
