Online Spanish lessons are live and one-to-one, taught by the same London-based native tutor who teaches in person. Each lesson runs 90 minutes. They suit people who travel often, who work outside London, or who want to keep a course going from wherever the week takes them.
How an online Spanish lesson works
You meet your tutor over video for a full 90 minutes, on Zoom, Teams, Google Meet or Skype, whichever you or your company already use. Each lesson covers speaking and comprehension alongside reading, writing and grammar, with the balance set by what you want to be able to do in Spanish. Course material appears on screen as you work through it, audio is used throughout, and what you cover is shared with you afterwards to go back over before the next lesson. Ninety minutes leaves room for a long stretch of conversation in every lesson, which is where most of the progress comes from.
Wherever you are, in London or abroad
Lessons carry on from a home office, a hotel room, or another country. Learners who start with private Spanish lessons in London keep the same course running when work takes them away, and teams spread across several offices take business Spanish this way, each person joining from where they are. Learners based in other UK cities work with a London tutor this way, and those who move abroad keep the same tutor after the move.
One Spanish tutor, lesson after lesson
You work with a single tutor from the first lesson onwards, a native Spanish speaker whose full-time work is teaching adults. Your tutor holds the thread between sessions, and each one opens where the last finished rather than starting again. We teach A1 through to C2, and your level and pace are set in the first lesson and revisited as you progress.
Times that work across time zones
Lessons run from 7am to 8pm London time, Monday to Friday and at weekends. London sits one hour behind Central European Time, which leaves room at either end of a continental working day and opens up early mornings for anyone further east. Lesson times can move from week to week where your diary needs them to. Where you are working towards a date, our intensive Spanish courses run online as well.
What online lessons cost
Online lessons cost the same as lessons in the room: from £49 an hour, with the same ten and twenty-hour packages. The rate covers your assessment, the lessons, all teaching materials and your tutor’s preparation between them.
Your first online lesson
The first lesson is an assessment. You talk, your tutor listens and asks questions, and by the end you both know your level and what the course needs to cover. Most students then settle into two or three lessons a week. At that pace the difference shows within the first month.
Moving a lesson
Give us 24 hours’ notice and the lesson moves to another time at no charge. Inside 24 hours it is charged: the hour was held for you and your tutor had prepared for it.

Antonio has been my Spanish teacher for the last 18 months and thanks to him, I have greatly improved my vocabulary, my conversation and my confidence in speaking Spanish. He takes time to encourage and motivate you in order to improve. I enjoy every lesson and I always look forward to the next one.
