Language lessons
Spanish, with real-world context
Whether you are starting from zero or want to sound more natural, we work on the Spanish you actually need, and on understanding why it works the way it does.
What we can work on
-
Grammar, explained
Verb tenses, structure and the rules behind them, with exercises that make sense. When an answer is right, you will know why.
-
Conversation
Speak more, hesitate less. We practise real conversations at your level, and fix mistakes without breaking your flow.
-
Everyday Spanish
The language of shops, appointments, neighbours, work and daily life on the Costa del Sol and beyond.
-
Natural expressions
How people actually say things, not just textbook phrases, and the cultural context that goes with them.
-
Beginner-friendly
Clear explanations in English or Spanish, so you are never lost, and a pace that suits you.
-
Your choice of focus
Structured lessons, conversation-focused sessions, or a mix of both. We decide together and adjust as you go.
Same language, different meanings
A word that is perfectly normal in one Spanish-speaking country can raise eyebrows in another. We learn the context as well as the vocabulary.
How lessons work
- I am a native speaker of both English and Spanish, so explanations can be given in whichever language helps you most.
- Lessons are one-to-one or in small groups of 2–4 students.
- We start by talking about your level, your goals and how you like to learn.
- Online, in person in Benalmádena, or at your location between Torremolinos and Fuengirola.
- Lessons normally last one hour. Online lessons take place on Google Meet.
- We can use my own exercises and materials, or the books and exercises you bring.
Lessons for students under 18
Lessons are available for students under 18, always booked and arranged with their parent or legal guardian. Lessons can take place online or in person at a suitable location agreed in advance with the family. Lessons for minors are not given at my private home.
