About your spanish tutor
Hey! I’m Sandra, a French and Spanish tutor with a passion for languages and teaching. I come from an Italian family, was born in Venezuela, studied Business in France, and now live in Madrid. 🌍 My multicultural background helps me understand the challenges of learning a new language, and I love sharing my experience to help you succeed. 📝 Over the past 5 years, I’ve had the privilege of teaching more than 200 students in over 2,500 lessons. This journey has given me the chance to work with learners from different cultures, backgrounds, and goals, which has shaped me into a flexible and attentive teacher. I aim to create a fun and relaxed environment where you feel comfortable building confidence in both speaking and understanding French and Spanish. Whether you’re learning for business, travel, or personal growth, I’ll adapt each lesson to your unique goals and learning style.
Sandra graduated from Universidad Complutense de Madrid


Spanish classes highlights
In my lessons I combine interactive practice with comprehensive input. That means you’ll be constantly exposed to the language through listening, reading, speaking, and discussion. This approach helps you absorb grammar, vocabulary, and expressions in a natural way—just like in real life. I believe that every learner is unique, so I adapt my teaching style to your preferences. Some students enjoy detailed grammar explanations and structured exercises, while others thrive through conversation, role-play, or cultural topics. Many find that a balance of both keeps them motivated and progressing steadily. With more than 2,500 lessons taught, I’ve worked with complete beginners, advanced learners preparing for exams, professionals aiming to improve their workplace communication, and travelers wanting to feel confident abroad. Whatever your goal, I’ll tailor the lessons so that you stay challenged at the right level, without ever feeling overwhelmed. Cultural context is also essential in language learning. That’s why I like to bring in elements of French- and Spanish-speaking cultures—music, news, traditions, and everyday life—so you not only learn the language, but also understand the world behind it. My aim is to create a supportive and enjoyable environment where you can make mistakes, ask questions freely, and build the confidence you need to use the language outside of class. By the end of each lesson, you’ll walk away with new tools, a deeper understanding, and the motivation to keep going.
