Hi! My name is Carlos Rivas, and I’m a Spanish tutor with over 4 years of experience teaching languages. I specialize in helping basic and intermediate students build a solid grammar foundation while focusing mainly on real conversation. My goal is to help you feel confident speaking Spanish, not just understand it. I believe learning a language should feel natural and motivating. I create a relaxed and supportive environment where mistakes are welcome and progress is clear. Outside of teaching, I enjoy playing chess and going on bike rides — interests that often turn into great conversation topics in class.

Me as a Teacher

I’m a relaxed, friendly Spanish tutor who helps students feel comfortable speaking from the very first lesson. My classes are based on real conversations, with clear grammar support when you need it, so Spanish feels natural and useful. We usually talk about your daily life, your interests, and real situations you might actually face. I correct mistakes gently, adjust the pace to you, and create a calm, no-pressure space where confidence builds naturally over time. If you’re looking for Spanish that feels real, relaxed, and practical, I’d be happy to work with you.

My lessons & teaching style

In my lessons, we use videos, images, and occasional quizzes to keep things dynamic and engaging. I adapt each class to your interests, so learning Spanish feels motivating and relevant, not forced. The goal is to help you learn naturally while staying focused and making steady progress.

Carlos is the most thoughtful teacher, welcoming of your own experiences. Very fun to talk to, and the right level of correction and encouragement, helping a student speak more!!

Carlos is lovely. We had the best lesson. I asked him some tough questions but he answered everything and was incredibly patient with me. Would highly recommend.

I've only had a couple of lessons with Carlos, but he has been great at helping me with everything related to learning Spanish. He's very patient, encouraging, and flexible at helping me with my specific goals and tailoring his approach very well. I'm really enjoying the time in the lessons too and will be certainly utilising him a lot as I keep improving my Spanish :)
