Online Spanish Classes, Live and 1-on-1
See exactly what a live online Spanish class looks like — the platform, the format, and how a real session runs from start to finish. 29+ years of experience, one-on-one, at a schedule that fits your week.
Meet Your Teacher
I’m Rafael Castillo, a professional Spanish instructor with a Master’s Degree (MA) in Teaching Spanish as a Second Language and over 29 years in the classroom. Based in Estelí, Nicaragua, I’ve taught students from dozens of countries — online and in person.
Every class is planned around you: your level, your goals, and the mistakes you actually make — not a fixed textbook path.
Inside a Live Online Class
No mystery — here’s exactly what happens in a standard 60-minute session.
Warm-up conversation
We talk — about your day, your week, whatever’s on your mind — entirely in Spanish, at your level. This is where I hear how you’re really doing.
Review what tripped you up
We go back over the errors and questions from your last class before moving forward, so nothing gets lost.
New material, tied to your goals
Grammar, vocabulary, or structures introduced through real examples relevant to you — not a generic textbook chapter.
Guided speaking practice
You use what you just learned out loud, live, with corrections in the moment — this is where it actually sticks.
Wrap-up and short homework
A quick recap of what we covered and a light, specific task for before your next class.

What platform do you use for online Spanish classes?
Classes are held live over video call, usually on Zoom. If Zoom doesn’t work well for you, we can also meet on WhatsApp video or another platform you’re comfortable with.
Do I need any special software or equipment?
No. Just a phone, tablet, or computer with internet access and a camera — no downloads or special equipment required.
Are online classes effective for complete beginners?
Yes. Every class is one-on-one and built around your current level, so beginners get the same structured, personalized attention as advanced students.
Can I take classes across time zones?
Yes, students join from many different time zones. We work together to find class times that fit your schedule.
How long is each class?
Standard classes are 60 minutes, giving enough time for conversation practice, grammar, and review in every session.
How often should I take classes?
For most learners, 2-3 classes a week keeps momentum without feeling overwhelming. If you’re on a tight timeline, daily classes speed things up significantly.
What does a typical online class actually look like?
Each 60-minute class opens with a few minutes of warm-up conversation, moves into review of anything tricky from last time, introduces new material tied to your goals, then closes with guided speaking practice and a short homework note for next time.
