Speak Spanish. Don't just study it.
Speak from day one. Use what you know. Stop waiting until you feel "ready."Small-group and private programs with Mónica, a native teacher from Madrid.
- Online, from anywhere

A 30-minute call with me for $54. Or get it for $27 when you buy my book.
But not for the reasons your Spanish teacher told you
Watch this before you open another app.
You don't need another Spanish class.
Either way, the problem is usually the same. You keep studying:
But when it's time to actually speak…
You freeze.
Why adult learners stay stuck, and how to break free
It works the other way around. You start speaking first.
Speaking isn't what you do when you finish learning a language.
Speaking is how you learn it.

Hi, I'm Mónica. After 11 years teaching Spanish, I've seen the same mistakes again and again. Not stupid mistakes. Invisible ones. The ones that keep you understanding… but never speaking.
Madrileña by birth, Australian guiri by choice, now back in Madrid. I teach through stories, culture and real conversation.

What my students say
"I absolutely love Monica's teaching style as it makes it so easy to learn Spanish in a practical way. By telling stories and using news, ads and music we're able to easily process the language."
Nicola Roque"She is a highly qualified Spanish teacher and examiner, she has an interesting approach to the language through current affairs, films and culture, and she is very supportive, especially through moments when progress feels slow."
Robyn Owens"Monica is the gentlest and most patient Spanish teacher I have ever had. She provides guidance when I need it, but she never makes me feel bad for not knowing how to express myself."
Robyn Patrick"With her you are not only learning Spanish but you also feel and breathe the language. She gives you a lot of insides and is a fantastic storyteller. I learnt so much about the culture, traditions."
