Frequently Asked Questions
→Preguntas frecuentes
-
Each lesson is online, one-on-one, and lasts 60 minutes.
Lessons are personalised to your level, progress, and goals and can include grammar, reading, writing, listening, and conversation. I explain concepts in both English and Spanish, depending on what works best for you.
Each lesson focuses on a specific topic, review, or practice. Communication is key, so we can always adapt the lessons to the areas where you need more support and confidence.
For advanced students, we can focus more on conversation, listening, comprehension, and natural, everyday Spanish while reviewing any specific areas you may need to improve.
After each lesson, I send you the materials and practice activities we worked with.

First, book a”Discovery call”. Click here to see my rates and book our first meeting.
During the Discovery Call, we can talk about your level, goals, and what you would like to achieve with Spanish.
Then, you can choose the lesson plan that works best for you. Once you make your payment, you'll receive access to my calendar and can book your lessons.
You will receive a confirmation email with a Zoom link for each lesson you book.
Single lessons or bundles?
Both options are available. All lessons are prepaid and non-refundable. Both single lessons and bundles include the lesson materials and practice activities.
Single lesson: Book and pay for one lesson at a time.
Lesson bundle: Choose between 2, 4, or 8 lessons. Each bundle must be completed within a maximum of 4 weeks. Your next bundle doesn't have to be the same as your previous one — you can change it whenever you renew. For example, you might choose 4 lessons this month and 8 lessons next month, depending on how much time you have available.
You can schedule your lessons according to your needs, whether that's once or twice a week / month.
Time zone: I teach from Monday to Friday, 06:00–19:00 (CET/CEST). Availability can vary slightly depending on the season.
-
You can cancel or reschedule your lesson at least 48 hours before the lesson starts.
To cancel or reschedule, simply email me. If your request follows the cancellation policy, I will cancel the lesson and return the lesson credit to your balance so you can reschedule it.
No-shows and cancellations made less than 48 hours before the lesson will be charged in full.
I encourage you to complete all your lessons within the paid bundle, as payments are non-refundable and cannot be extended beyond the 4-week program.

I have been teaching Spanish for almost 7 years, both face-to-face and online, to students from 7 to 72 years old and from many different countries and backgrounds.
I've worked with native speakers of English, German, Dutch, Italian, French, Turkish, Croatian, Romanian, Russian, Portuguese, Arabic, and more.
I teach all levels, from complete beginners starting from scratch to advanced and conversational Spanish.
I've also supported students with school and university Spanish studies, including exams, homework, assignments, and test preparation in the U.S., the U.K., Spain and Germany.
My students learn Spanish for many different reasons. Some want to travel, connect with their partner or family, reconnect with their Latin American heritage, use Spanish at work, support their studies, or simply learn a new language as a hobby.
I've worked with professionals including nurses, doctors, teachers, hospitality and retail professionals, athletes, police and military personnel, engineers, lawyers, therapists, entrepreneurs, marketers, designers, and beauty professionals.
Wherever you are starting from and whatever your reason for learning Spanish, you're welcome here ❤️

Yes! I'm a Costa Rican Spanish tutor specializing in Latin American Spanish.
Because Spanish is spoken across so many countries, you'll hear different vocabulary, expressions, accents, and ways of speaking depending on where you are.
In my lessons, I can teach you natural, everyday Latin American Spanish, as well as explain regional differences so you can understand Spanish speakers from different countries.
If you're interested specifically in Costa Rican Spanish, I can also teach you Costa Rican expressions, vocabulary, pronunciation, and cultural context.
This can be especially useful for travellers, people with Latin American heritage, or anyone who wants to learn Spanish from a Latin American perspective.
I've been to Spain, I have Spanish friends and I have studied about “Spain Spanish”, so I can also help you with Spanish for work, study, or just holidays in Spain, whether you're preparing for a job, a degree, or a new life there, I can guide you through the language and the practicalities that come with it. -
Yes! I work with professionals who need Spanish for their workplace and real-life professional situations.
I've worked with healthcare professionals, teachers, hospitality and retail professionals, entrepreneurs, marketers, engineers, lawyers, and others who need to communicate with Spanish-speaking clients, patients, students, colleagues or customers.
Lessons can be personalised around your profession, vocabulary, communication needs, and real situations you encounter at work.
For example, a healthcare professional might practice communicating with Spanish-speaking patients, while a teacher might focus on communicating with students or parents.
-
Absolutely! You can start with me from zero.
You don't need to know any Spanish before your first lesson. We'll start with the basics and gradually build your vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, listening, and speaking skills.
I can also explain concepts in English, so you don't have to feel lost in your first weeks taking Spanish lessons with me.
My goal is to take you from starting from scratch to being able to communicate confidently in Spanish, at a pace that works for you.
-
Yes! Conversation is a big part of my lessons, especially for students who already have a foundation in Spanish.
We can practice conversations based on your interests, travel plans, work, relationships, family, hobbies or everyday situations.
I will also correct your pronunciation and help you express yourself in a way that sounds natural and appropriate for the situation.
I will teach you from everyday casual Spanish to more professional communication.
And don't worry about making mistakes! That's exactly what lessons are for.
-
First of all, our lessons will be fun, relaxed, and personalised. I'm very patient, and I want you to feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes, asking for a recap or practicing something again.
I'm a Costa Rican and Latin American Spanish tutor, so I can teach you not only Spanish grammar, but also the different accents, expressions, vocabulary, and cultural differences you may encounter across Latin America and Spain.
I personalise the lessons for every student because no two learners are the same. You have your own level, goals, interests, learning style and challenges.
I'll correct your pronunciation from the beginning and help you sound more natural (formal, professional, or casual Spanish).
I'll also give you feedback and recommendations to help you improve between lessons.
And we can make Spanish relevant to your life. We can talk about your passions and interests, practice conversations, translate things you actually need, create realistic situations around work, travel, relationships, family and everyday life.
I want you to feel that you're learning something useful from your very first lesson.
