Intermediate & Advanced Spanish (B1–C2) & DELE—active vocabulary, with a strong Literature & Culture track.
I’m Mailén (Buenos Aires). For 7+ years I’ve helped adults build an active vocabulary, refine register & style, and pass DELE.
I’ve worked with 700+ students worldwide, including professionals and advanced learners who want to think and argue in Spanish.
My niche: topic-based vocabulary + close reading and argumentation (short stories, essays, current affairs).
Book a trial: leave with a 4-week roadmap and 2–3 concrete targets.
Meine Kreationen
Ich als Lehrkraft
Who I help
• Vocabulary & Expression (B1–C2): lexical fields, collocations/chunks, discourse markers, register & tone.
• DELE/SIELE (B1–C2) : real tasks, section strategies, timed mocks, precise corrections.
• Literary & Critical Reading (B2–C2): close reading, metaphor & symbolism, rhetoric and academic style (brief commentaries).
• Professional Spanish: meetings, interviews, presentations, concise writing.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
Courses are tailored to B1–C2 learners and include materials.
We start with a quick diagnostic, then alternate guided conversation with close reading of short stories or essays to expand active vocabulary, refine register and strengthen argumentation. Training focuses on lexical fields, collocations, reformulation and shadowing. You receive precise feedback, an error log and a 10–15 min/day study plan.
For DELE, we add real tasks, timing strategies and periodic timed mocks.

Every lesson with Mailén is so enriching and enjoyable. We explore the most interesting and mind-bending topics and I love getting to build that vocabulary in Spanish. Mailén is such an interesting person and I love hearing her perspectives of the world. She also chooses the most thought-provoking stories for me to read! Muchísimas gracias, Mailén!

Mailen is an incredible profesor. She is highly intelligent, always prepared, punctual, and she has a very nice personality. She is capable of teaching at many different levels. I have had many, many dozens of classes with Mailen, and when I began with her, I was at the intermediate level. Now, I am bilingual. I give her my highest possible recommendation. Mailen es una profesora increíble. Es muy inteligente, siempre preparada, puntual y tiene una personalidad muy agradable. Mailen es capaz de enseñar en muchos niveles diferentes. He tenido muchas muchas decenas de clases con Mailen y cuando comencé con ella estaba en el nivel intermedio. Ahora soy bilingüe. Le doy mi más alta recomendación posible.

Highly recommend Mailén to anyone looking for a skilled and compassionate Spanish teacher! She's incredibly encouraging, supportive and patient, always creating a very positive learning environment.
Thanks to Mailén, I feel much more confident in my Spanish, and I'm genuinely enjoying the process of learning and preparing for the DELE. ¡Muchas gracias! :)

Mis primeras lecciones con Mailén fueron excepcionales! Ella sabe cómo identificar rápidamente los aspectos de su español que se beneficiarían más de la práctica enfocada. Luego encuentra formas desafiantes de mejorarlas. La recomendaría a cualquier persona que se tome en serio la mejora de su español.
