Desde hace 7 años acompaño a estudiantes a encontrar su voz en español. My classes are 100% contextual and adapted to the needs and interests of each student. I prefer to generate real conversation situations and connect the 4 essential skills to learn a new language: reading, writing, listening and speaking. I know how frustrating the process of learning a language can be - because I felt it when learning English - and so in the Spanish lessons with Mariana: 🧘🏽‍♀️ • There is tranquility, fun and professionalism. 💃 • There’s room for mistakes and we celebrate them. 💬 • There is much patience, useful activities and practice. 📍• Remember that the most important thing is how you feel most comfortable learning!

Host of SPANISHQUECHIVO PODCAST - Over 9000 lessons taught online!!! I am super PATIENT and FUN! Estudié idiomas; específicamente, Lenguas Modernas con especialidad en Francés y ahí fue cuando descubrí que me encantaba enseñar idiomas. Comencé trabajando con una ONG donde enseñaba inglés, luego contrataron en una escuela y un colegio. También por otras aplicaciones me pedían clases por Skype y así fue como empeze a ayudar a otros a mejorar su aprendizaje. I studied Modern Languages at the University of El Salvador and there I discovered my passion in teaching. I started working with an NGO where I taught English, then I was hired at a public and private school. Also, I did some teaching via Skype and that is how I helped others to improve their learning course.

Let's take your Spanish to the next level! :) Hi, My name is María and I am a native Spanish speaker from Colombia. I have always enjoyed learning languages, learning about other cultures and talking to people from different backgrounds. I speak English fluently and am currently learning German. Throughout the years, I have discovered effective language learning techniques that have led my students to great success. These techniques have enabled my students to rapidly improve their Spanish and reach their desired fluency. I consider myself a very patient, enthusiastic, and respectful tutor. My ultimate goal as your Spanish tutor is to help you get to the level where you will be able to communicate confidently with individuals from various Spanish speaking countries. My tutoring approach is based off your individual needs and goals. The lessons I offer are conversation based and include pronunciation instruction. I believe that listening, reading, writing, and grammar are just as important as speaking. Therefore, if you wish, I will also incorporate them in our lessons. When it comes to working with beginners, I usually start by teaching basic Spanish phrases and vocabulary. We will work on grammar to make sure you can start speaking Spanish as soon as possible. If you are interested in my tutoring service, do not hesitate to contact me to schedule a lesson. I very much look forward to meeting you soon. -M

Hola! I’m Eva, a native Spanish speaker from Seville, Spain. I hold a Bachelor’s in Physics and a Master’s in Science Communication, and I’m currently pursuing a Master’s in Environmental Sciences. I have over 6 years of experience teaching English and Spanish to students of all ages and levels. I started by teaching Chemistry in English during high school, and since then I’ve developed a strong passion for language learning and teaching. I’ve worked with teenagers (13-18) in Spain and adults in private lessons, so I’m comfortable adapting to different learning styles and goals. My teaching approach is flexible, personalized, and conversation-focused. I believe speaking is the fastest and most effective way to improve, so my lessons are relaxed, engaging, and practical. At the same time, I can incorporate grammar, vocabulary, writing, or structured exercises depending on what you need. A typical lesson starts with a natural conversation (about your week or daily life), and then we build from there, whether through targeted exercises or deeper discussions on topics like travel, culture, science, or current events. I can also provide optional homework for extra practice. If you’re looking for a supportive and dynamic space to build confidence and fluency, I’d love to help. Feel free to book a trial lesson, I’m looking forward to meeting you!

    I’ve been having classes with Marta for over a year now and can’t recommend her enough. I’ve had many Spanish teachers over the years and almost never leave reviews, but Marta is genuinely exceptional. She’s very personable and easy to talk to, so the classes always feel natural and enjoyable, but I’ve also learned a huge amount from her. She’s played a big part in improving my Spanish and I’d recommend her without thinking twice.

    Josue is an exceptional Spanish teacher. During each of of our classes, I have found him to be thoughtful, attentive, and he also has a great sense of when to correct me or introduce a new concept without interrupting the natural flow of conversation. I especially appreciate how organized he is. During each lesson, he keeps track of the grammar, vocabulary, and concepts we cover, then spends the last few minutes reviewing them with me. It’s a simple approach, but it makes a big difference in helping me retain what I’ve learned during each session. Josue is also genuinely kind and easy to talk to. I never feel intimidated or self-conscious about making mistakes. Instead, his encouragement motivates me to keep improving and reminds me why I’m learning Spanish in the first place: to communicate with others and better understand the culture.

    Learning Spanish

    She is a very cheerful and engaging teacher. During the trial lesson, she assesses your current level of fluency and works with you to create a plan for your learning. Most classes include role-playing exercises that push you to speak, think in Spanish, and build confidence using the language. You are going to talk A LOT in her class! What I appreciate most is how structured the lessons are: each class builds on the previous one, so the exercises never feel random or disconnected. The activities can challenge you and push you outside your comfort zone, but her personality and demeanor make it easy to relax, take risks, and not be afraid of making mistakes. I highly recommend Amarilys to for your spanish journey

Frequently asked questions

How much does a Spanish tutor cost?

Spanish tutors on italki cost between $4 to $60 per hour, depending on the tutor’s experience and lesson format.

Many learners choose private Spanish tutors because they provide personalized guidance, instant correction, and real conversation practice that help them progress faster than studying alone.

On italki, you have access to both community and professional tutors, making it easy to find a Spanish teacher that matches your goals and budget. A 30-minute Spanish lesson typically costs between $4 and $10.

What is the best way to fluently learn Spanish?

The best way to achieve Spanish fluency is with an online Spanish tutor. Working with a tutor ensures your time is focused on the skills that matter most, mistakes are corrected immediately, and your lessons adapt to your level and goals.

To make the most of your learning, take private Spanish lessons tailored to your current level and goals, schedule conversational Spanish classes to practice speaking in real situations and build confidence, track your progress and adjust focus. Your italki Spanish teacher can pinpoint weak spots, like pronunciation or verb usage, so every session helps you improve steadily.

Do you need a tutor to learn Spanish?

You can learn Spanish without a tutor, but most learners progress faster with guided lessons.

A Spanish tutor can help you:

  • 🗣️ Build correct pronunciation from the start
  • ✏️ Fix grammar issues before they become habits
  • 📅 Stay consistent with a clear study plan
  • 💬 Get real conversation practice, which self-study can’t provide

Plenty of learners try to study only with apps, books or videos. It works, but it usually takes longer because you don’t get feedback, correction, or regular conversation time.

Using a platform like italki gives you access to experienced online Spanish tutors for one-on-one lessons. When you combine private Spanish lessons with extra resources such as apps or podcasts, your progress stays steady and more balanced.

Are private Spanish tutors worth it?

Yes, private Spanish tutors are worth it if you want faster, more effective progress in your Spanish lessons.

Hiring a private Spanish tutor is worth it because:

  • Lessons are tailored to your goals, whether it’s beginner Spanish lessons or conversational Spanish classes.
  • You get immediate feedback on pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary.
  • One-on-one attention ensures you actively practice speaking in every lesson.
  • Tutors can adjust your Spanish lessons online to focus on your strengths, weaknesses, and learning pace.

Many learners find that combining private Spanish lessons with additional resources, like apps or podcasts, makes learning more efficient and keeps them motivated.

How long does it take to learn Spanish with a tutor?

It depends on your goals and study intensity, but most learners reach conversational Spanish in 6–12 months with regular Spanish tutoring.

Basic Spanish conversation (A2): 3–6 months with 2–3 Spanish lessons per week.

Intermediate Spanish fluency (B1–B2): 6–12 months.

Advanced fluency (C1–C2): 1–2 years.

A Spanish tutor speeds up your progress by correcting mistakes in real time and giving you consistent speaking practice. Learners who book 3–5 Spanish classes online each week typically move through levels much faster than those studying once a week.

How do I find a good Spanish tutor on italki?

Finding a good Spanish tutor on italki is easy with filters.

  1. Narrow by price, native language, availability, and specialization (conversation, grammar, exam prep, etc.).
  2. Watch intro videos to check teaching style, read student reviews to see how others rate their lessons.
  3. Start with a trial lesson to test compatibility.

A good Spanish teacher adapts lessons to your goals, corrects mistakes constructively, maximizes speaking practice, and tracks progress. If the first tutor isn’t a fit, try another.

Can I learn Spanish in 3 months?

Yes. With intensive Spanish classes and a dedicated Spanish tutor, you can reach a basic conversational level (A2-B1), which means you can hold simple conversations, introduce yourself, order food, ask for directions, and handle everyday travel situations.

Full fluency takes longer, usually 1–2 years, but 3 months of focused Spanish lessons can help you understand slow, clear Spanish and respond confidently in common situations.

How many hours a week should I study Spanish?

It depends on your goals, schedule, and current level, but most learners see steady progress with 3-5 hours of Spanish lessons per week.

Beginners often benefit from 3-5 hours a week to build consistency, practice speaking, and reinforce new grammar and vocabulary. Intermediate and advanced learners may have 2-4 hours a week for focused practice, exam preparation, or conversation skills.

Your learning style also matters: some students thrive with intensive Spanish classes, while others prefer a slower, steady pace. A private Spanish tutor can help you design a schedule that fits your pace, and lessons can be adjusted as your goals evolve.

How to find Spanish tutor on italki for beginners

Finding a Spanish tutor for beginners on italki is simple:

  1. Create your account – Start by creating a free account on the italki website or app and select Spanish as the language you want to learn.

  4. Book a trial lesson – Once you find a tutor you like, book a trial lesson to experience their teaching approach firsthand.
  5. Schedule regular lessons – If it’s a good fit, schedule regular private Spanish lessons at times that suit you.

Can I find Spanish tutors for specific needs on italki?

Yes, italki offers Spanish tutors who specialize in different learning needs and goals.

You’ll find Spanish tutors for beginners, Spanish tutors for kids, and Spanish tutors for adults, as well as tutors who focus on conversation practice, grammar instruction, or specialized areas like exam preparation (DELE, SIELE) and business Spanish. Whatever your goal, there’s a Spanish tutor for it.

italki also offers Spanish lessons with tutors who speak your native language, such as: Spanish lessons for English speakers and Spanish lessons for Portuguese speakers. These types of lessons can help you feel more comfortable in your language learning journey.

Why should I use a Spanish tutor to learn Spanish with italki?

Using a Spanish language tutor on italki helps you learn the Spanish you’ll actually use, not just textbook phrases, by focusing on real conversations, common expressions, and situations you encounter in daily life.

Your private Spanish tutor can help you practice conversation, review grammar, prepare for Spanish proficiency exams like DELE, or build confidence in speaking, with lessons customized to your level and pace. They correct mistakes on the spot, suggest natural ways to phrase things, and explain cultural context, so you communicate appropriately in any situation.

All lessons are available anytime online, and most operate on a pay-as-you-go system, so you only pay for the private Spanish lessons you take. For learners looking for extra support, italki Plus also offers an optional subscription with features like AI-powered study tools, exclusive events, and discounts.

How do italki's online Spanish classes work?

italki’s online Spanish classes are simple, flexible, and personalized:

  1. 🧐 Browse tutors – After creating an account, browse through qualified Spanish tutors with detailed profiles showing their teaching style, experience, and student reviews.
  2. ✅ Choose your tutor – Filter by price, availability, specialization, or tutor type to find a tutor that fits your goals and schedule. Many offer trial lessons to help you find the right match.
  3. 📅 Book and attend lessons – Once you book a lesson, you’ll meet your private Spanish tutor via italki’s video platform. Your tutor will assess your level, discuss your objectives, and tailor lessons to your needs.
  4. 🚀 Learn at your pace – Spanish classes are fully flexible and can be scheduled daily, weekly, or as often as you like. Between lessons, tutors often provide extra resources or conversation practice to help you progress in learning Spanish online.

How often should I meet with an online Spanish tutor?

How often you meet with an online Spanish tutor depends on your goals, schedule, and level. Beginners often benefit from 3–5 online Spanish lessons per week to build consistency, practice speaking, and reinforce new grammar and vocabulary. Intermediate and advanced learners may have 2–3 online Spanish lessons per week to focus on conversation, exam prep, or specific skills.

Short, regular lessons usually work better than long, infrequent sessions. Your private Spanish tutor can help create a schedule that fits your lifestyle and adjust it as your goals change.

Do italki's Spanish tutors offer free online Spanish lessons?

While italki Spanish tutors don’t offer completely free lessons, many provide discounted trial lessons. Each student can book up to three trial lessons (one per tutor) to experience different Spanish teaching styles before committing.

Trial lessons let you try a Spanish lesson online, assess the tutor’s approach, discuss your goals, and see if their style fits your needs. It’s a low-risk way to find the right Spanish teacher.

What is the 80/20 rule for learning Spanish?

The 80/20 rule suggests that roughly 20% of what you study leads to about 80% of your progress. For Spanish learners, this usually means focusing on the parts of the language you use most, like common verbs, everyday vocabulary, core grammar patterns, and regular speaking practice.

On italki, Spanish tutors often use this approach by guiding you towards the parts of Spanish you’ll use most. They help you avoid spending time on topics that don’t match your goals, so your Spanish lessons feel more focused and you notice progress faster.

Do I need a basic understanding of the Spanish language before I can take Spanish classes with italki?

No. You don’t need any previous knowledge to start learning Spanish on italki. The platform has many Spanish tutors for beginners who specialize in teaching students from scratch and making the language approachable from day one.

Starting as a complete beginner can even be an advantage, since your Spanish tutor will help you build good pronunciation and grammar habits right from the start.

What is the difference between an italki Community tutor vs. Professional tutor?

The main difference between an italki Community tutor and a Professional tutor lies in their qualifications, teaching style, and focus.

Professional tutors are certified teachers with formal training. They offer structured lessons with prepared materials, covering grammar, vocabulary, and exam prep. They provide study resources and detailed feedback during online Spanish lessons, making them ideal for beginners or students seeking systematic learning.

Community tutors, on the other hand, are native or fluent speakers without formal teaching credentials. They focus on Spanish conversational practice, helping learners build fluency and confidence in a flexible, informal, and often more budget-friendly way.

Many learners use both: professional Spanish tutors for foundational skills and community Spanish tutors for speaking practice.
