Why private lessons work when nothing else has
You've tried apps. Maybe a group class where you spoke for three minutes in an hour. You understand a lot, but when it's your turn to speak, your mind goes blank.
In a private lesson there's nowhere to hide, and that's a good thing. You speak most of the time, about things you actually care about, with someone who knows exactly what's blocking you. That's how understanding turns into speaking.
How it works
Two simple steps.

Your teacher: Monica Bernabe Perez
Spanish teacher from Madrid with a Master's in Teaching Spanish as a Foreign Language. Former Spanish tutor at the University of Western Australia, DELE examiner and author of four Spanish books. I've been teaching Spanish for 11 years, and I know what it's like to freeze in another language: I was the foreigner in Australia for years. More about me.
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."
