Personal Description:
Native Spanish Teacher | DELE Examiner | Spanish Conversation & DELE/SIELE Preparation | 20+ Years Experience
Hi! My name is Bea, and I am a native Spanish teacher from Toledo, a historic city in central Spain near Madrid with more than 20 years of experience teaching Spanish conversation and DELE/SIELE exam preparation to international students. I speak with a clear and neutral Spanish accent.
I am a certified DELE examiner accredited by the Instituto Cervantes, and I have extensive experience preparing students for official Spanish exams such as DELE and SIELE (levels A1-C2).
I specialize in helping students improve their confidence and fluency through practical and personalized lessons adapted to their goals-whether for exams, travel, work, or personal interest.
Specializations:
1. Spanish Conversation
- Improve fluency and confidence
- Real-life conversation topics
- Pronunciation and natural expressions
- Vocabulary for travel, daily life and professional situations
2. DELE & SIELE Exam Preparation
- Official exam structure training
- Speaking and writing strategies
- Mock exams with feedback
- Personalized study plan based on your level
As an examiner accredited by the Instituto Cervantes, I help students understand how the exam works and how to improve their performance effectively.
Teaching Experience:
I have more than 20 years of experience giving private Spanish lessons to both children and adults.
I lived in the UK for seven years, where I taught:
- Spanish as a first language to Spanish students living abroad who needed to maintain and improve their mother tongue.
- Spanish as a second language to international students from diverse cultural backgrounds.
This experience helped me understand different learning styles and adapt my teaching methods to each student.
Currently, I teach Spanish online to:
- School-age students
- Adults learning Spanish for travel or professional purposes
- Students preparing for official exams (DELE, SIELE, GCSE, and A-Level)
In my lessons, we not only learn the language but also explore Spanish culture through real-life situations such as traveling, food, daily communication, and practical conversation.
Tutoring Approach:
My lessons are fully personalized according to your goals, level, interests, and objectives.
I use a communicative and dynamic approach that combines:
- Conversation practice
- Practical grammar
- Listening activities (videos, podcasts, songs)
- Role-plays for real-life situations
- Exam preparation strategies
I do not follow a single textbook. Instead, I use a wide range of materials (if needed) that I have developed throughout my teaching career.
I prepare structured lessons to help students:
- Reach a specific CEFR level
- Improve fluency and confidence
- Prepare for official exams
- Learn Spanish for travel or everyday communication
I offer both:
- Long-term courses (steady progress at your own pace)
- Intensive courses (fast preparation for exams or specific goals)
- All students receive personalized materials and feedback after each lesson.
I work with shared online documents where students can:
- Access lesson materials
- Complete activities
- Write notes
- Ask questions between lessons
This allows continuous learning and progress tracking.
