Every past tense on one page + a mini test
Sound familiar?
You study Spanish, but in real life it just won’t “switch on”
You understand, but stay silent
Reading and listening are fine, but speaking freely feels scary.
Bank, doctor, renting
Every call or appointment is a little dose of stress.
Paperwork and offices
NIE, empadronamiento, gestoría — documents speak their own language.
Citizenship exam
DELE A2 is coming up, and there’s no structured prep.

About me
Hi! I’m Viktoriia
I’ve been teaching Spanish for 10 years and have given over 2,000 online lessons. I live in Spain and work for Spanish companies — so I know what language you need not for an exam, but at the bank, the doctor’s and in a team meeting.
Moving, documents, renting, first phone calls in Spanish — I’ve been through it all myself. I explain grammar by comparing with Slavic grammar, so the logic clicks faster. And yes, lessons can get pretty funny.
- Spanish as spoken in Spain
- By comparing with Slavic grammar
- Real-life situations, not textbook ones
