The Spanish teacher for learners who are done with the basics.
Hola, soy Alicia â a qualified Spanish teacher with over 20 years of experience, specialising in advanced learners (B2âC2).
I know exactly where you’re stuck â because I’ve seen it hundreds of times.
Most advanced learners come to me with the same frustration. Their Spanish is good. They can hold a conversation, understand films, read articles. But something still feels off â and they can’t quite put their finger on what it is.
That’s not a motivation problem. That’s a guidance problem.
After more than 20 years teaching Spanish â working with language schools, publishing houses, and co-authoring educational materials â I’ve become obsessed with one specific challenge: helping advanced learners break through the plateau and finally sound like themselves in Spanish.
Not textbook Spanish. Not perfect Spanish. Natural, confident, real Spanish.
That’s what I’m here for.
I've worked with:
How I teach â and why it works for advanced learners
1
If you are committed to learning Spanish, I’m twice as to help you.
2
Your accent is not a problem. I’ll work on your pronunciation, but I’m not here to make you sound like a native. You’re not one â and that’s fine. Your accent is part of who you are. What we work on is clarity, confidence, and sounding natural.
3
Advanced doesn’t mean boring. Too many teachers treat high-level Spanish as an excuse for dry grammar drills. I disagree. The best lessons at your level are the ones that challenge you, surprise you, and make you forget you’re even studying.
4
There is no perfect Spanish textbook or method. I have filtered the good stuff after all my years of experience.
5
Learning is emotional. If you’re not engaged, you’re not learning. Every lesson is designed to connect with you as a person â your interests, your goals, your way of thinking â because that’s the only way language actually sticks.
Don't take my word for it
A trial online Spanish lesson with Alicia left me with much motivation to finally go on improving my Spanish after a long learning break. So I decided on booking more classes with her. Today I had my first 60 minute class and already learned a lot!
I am very happy with AliciaÂŽs way of teaching and it is very obvious she has much experience in teaching. She explains very well, has good materials and her pace to move forward is perfectly adapted to my needs. Thanks Alicia, you’re a great Spanish teacher online!

Very good class! Alicia is very prepared, explains things well, but also makes you think and figure things out instead of just telling you the answers. The lesson covered an interesting topic relating to current events in Spain and Spanish culture.
I really appreciated that she had materials prepared and referenced them during the lesson. I also appreciated that she encouraged me to speak the whole time-it was a real conversation. It is so important to choose a tutor that actually encourages you to speak and has the patience to listen to you even when you take a long time to choose a word. Alicia is that tutor. I look forward to taking more lessons with her.
