Spanish lessons: a guide for pros
What customers ask, how to win the job, and what to put on your profile.
Offering spanish lessons
You teach Spanish to learners who want conversation, grammar, reading or exam practice. Your listing should show your training and which learners you teach best, so the right student picks you.
What customers ask
- Can you help me speak well enough for work conversations with Spanish-speaking clients?
- Do you teach the Spanish I hear at home from family, or only textbook Spanish?
- How quickly will I see progress, and how will you show it to me?
- Do you teach kids, teens or adults, and how do you run lessons for a child?
- Can I take lessons online, or do they have to be in person?
How to win the job
- On the first call, ask what the student plans to do with Spanish and how they have learned it so far.
- Offer a short level check and explain how you will use the result to build the first month of lessons.
- Show a sample lesson built around a real use, such as a clinic visit, a job task or a family conversation.
- Put a sample of corrected student writing on your profile, with the reasons for each change explained.
- Include the lesson count, focus areas, homework and re-check date in the quote.
- Name the variety of Spanish you teach, so students who need a specific one can find you.
What to put on your profile
- Your training, such as a degree or certificate in Spanish or language teaching, and the years you have taught.
- Whether you are a native speaker or a trained second language teacher, and which regional forms of Spanish you know.
- Photos of your teaching space or online set-up, with no student faces unless they agree.
- The learner types you work with, such as heritage speakers, adults for work or exam students.
- Reviews that name the student's goal and result, once they agree to share them.
Follow-up that helps the customer
- After a level check, suggest a short plan with one clear next goal and a date to re-check.
- Send a summary of the main corrections after each lesson so the student can practice them.
- Offer a conversation group or a short exam course when the student's goal fits, and let them choose.
Licenses and permits
No license is usually required to teach Spanish privately. Have your degree or teaching certificate ready to show, and check your state and local rules for any business registration you need.
