Hello! Iām Irina, a certified Spanish teacher focused on conversation. I was born in Barcelona, though Iāve spent many years living abroad. I currently live in northern Italy. I have been teaching Spanish for the past four years while pursuing my university degree in cultural tourism. I love teaching because it not only allows me to communicate and explore my language more deeply, but also to meet people from all around the world.

Me as a Teacher
Iāve been teaching on italki for the past four years, but Iāve also been a student, taking lessons in Italian and French. This experience has taught me what students are looking for: someone who allows them to guide the lesson, without relying on pre-prepared questions or irrelevant topics. Each class will be natural, spontaneous, and fun, focusing on helping you improve your fluency.
My lessons & teaching style
My classes focus on conversation. Youāll be speaking most of the time, and Iāll help you learn new vocabulary, correct grammar and pronunciation mistakes, and sound more natural. Weāll use a shared document to record all the notes from our lessons. Every student has different needs, so thereās no āstandardā lesson - each one is customized based on your level, goals, and willingness to speak.

Another enjoyable weekly lesson with Irinaš„°She is a very beautiful, warm and professional Spanish teacher. Although Iām not a fluent Spanish speaker, she is always engaging in our conversation and encouraging me to speak boldly. I really recommend having lessons with her.

Irina is an AMAZING tutor! If you're looking for someone to help you gain fluency in Spanish - you've found her!! We worked together over the whole summer and thanks to her I feel more confident and more comfortable speaking Spanish. She puts you at ease and gives you precious feedback to help you improve your conversation skills without making you feel bad or ashamed. She's also great at keeping a conversation going, feels natural, authentic, and spontaneous, as if you're having coffee with a friend! Thank you, Irina, you're the best!

Very enjoyable lesson with Irina. I wanted to focus on conversational skills which we did but at the same time Irina incorporated into the conversation the weak areas that I had identified which was really helpful.
Irina was encouraging, fun and supportive throughout. Thank you for a thoroughly enjoyable lesson.
”Hasta luego!

Over five sessions, Irina and I have developed a way of practising Spanish that really works for me ā through a mix of spontaneous conversation and targeted grammar or vocabulary explanations. Sheās been kind, patient, and encouraging throughout, always adapting to what helps me improve.
Irina speaks excellent English, which helps clarify things when needed, but we almost never rely on it (maybe once a session) ā she keeps the lessons focused on Spanish without it feeling forced. Her ability to explain tricky grammar clearly makes a big difference.
She doesn't just follow a rigid curriculum ā instead, weāve worked together to find an approach that builds my confidence and fluency through trial and error. Itās been a great experience and I genuinely look forward to each lesson.
Highly recommended for anyone wanting to improve their spoken Spanish in a flexible, supportive, and highly effective way.
I look forward to many more lessons and updating this review in due course!
