Have you studied Spanish in school, maybe even in college, but still find yourself struggling to speak? Do you avoid conversations with native speakers because you feel embarrassed, or frustrated when your Spanish comes out awkward or limited? You’re not alone. Many Americans, and other English speakers, have a long history with Spanish classes, yet their conversational skills never quite reach the level they want.
It’s not your fault, but here’s how I can help. Classroom learning often focuses on grammar, vocabulary, and written exams, but rarely prepares you for real-life conversations. As a tutor, I focus on turning your theoretical knowledge into practical speaking skills, giving you the tools and confidence to communicate naturally.
1. Finally Conquer That “Pending Subject”
Think of Spanish as that one subject that never quite clicked. Maybe you passed your classes, earned decent grades, but never gained confidence speaking. It’s like having a book on a shelf that you never opened—you know it’s there, but you haven’t unlocked it.
This is where I step in. With structured lessons and personalized guidance, I help students like you finally take that “pending subject” off the shelf and start using Spanish in real situations.
BENEFIT 1: You will convert hesitation into fluency.
2. Break the Myth That Languages “Don’t Come Naturally”
Many students believe they are “bad at languages”, let´s switch this idea around. Fluency isn’t about talent—it’s about method, practice, and guidance. Europeans often seem smarter in languages because they’ve learned strategies for learning multiple languages from a very early age. Also, in many cases Europeans have a close geographical contact with other countries.
As your tutor, I teach use the most effective strategies. I’ll guide you to:
- learn efficiently by relevant topic study
- Retain what you practice
- Build your confidence
BENEFIT 2: Those four methods have proven successful with students in my 10 years of language teaching.
3. Stop Using “Normal” But Incorrect sentences
Have you ever translated “not good” into Spanish as “no bueno” instead of the right way “no está bien”? Or tried to say your age (“I´m 26”) in Spanish and had doubts between “yo soy 26” and “yo tengo 26”? The latter is correct. Many English speakers normalize these mistakes, but a tutor can help you correct them.
I focus on practical accuracy. Together, we replace ingrained errors with natural, native-like phrases. You’ll stop translating literally and start thinking in Spanish.
BENEFIT 3: You will speak Spanish correctly and become fluent over time.
4. Real-Life Spanish is Different from Textbooks
Textbooks teach rules, not flow. They give you lists of words, but rarely teach conversation skills. Many students freeze when a native speaker talks fast.
That's where a tutoring session like the one I offer comes in. I create lessons focused on real conversations, practicing very common scenarios like ordering beers, going out for tapas, or spending a few days wandering the streets of any city of Spain. You'll be able to handle yourself with ease in any situation."
BENEFIT 4: You will speak Spanish that is authentic, not the TV version.
5. Confidence is the Key
The biggest barrier is fear, not grammar. My tutoring approach builds confidence through repetition, supportive feedback, and gradual immersion. You’ll learn to speak naturally without overthinking.
BENEFIT 5: You will speak Spanish naturally over time.
