Hello! I’m Regina, a certified Spanish and Russian teacher who’s lived in Barcelona for 17 years. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts and a Master’s degree in Comparative Literature. Originally from Russia, I’ve studied and worked here in Spain, which gave me a real bilingual perspective.
I also hold two official teaching certificates—one in Spanish and one in Russian—which showed me that speaking a language well is only the first step. To teach effectively, you need proven methods and the right skills to make lessons clear and engaging. I completed a supervised practicum at a busy language school, where I learned from seasoned instructors how to design lessons that really work.Me as a Teacher
I’m enthusiastic, patient, and genuinely invested in your progress. I create a warm, encouraging atmosphere where you feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes. Punctual and organized, I prepare each lesson thoughtfully and adapt on the fly if something isn’t working. My friendly, approachable style helps build trust, so you’ll feel motivated and confident. Above all, I’m passionate about sharing language and culture—I celebrate your successes and support you every step of the way. My lessons & teaching style
My lessons focused on cultural insights. I tailor each lesson to your goals, interests, and learning style. My classes are interactive — we'll use an interactive platform from day 1. We'll work through role-plays, real-life dialogues, and topic discussions. My lessons follow a clear structure to build vocabulary, grammar, listening, and speaking skills step by step. I use authentic materials (videos, articles, songs) and fun activities (games, mini-projects) to keep you engaged. You’ll receive supportive, constructive feedback on pronunciation and grammar, and every session is customized—whether for conversation, exam prep or cultural insights.My teaching material
