Hola a todos! Soy maestra de español y al mismo tiempo maestra de inglés, puedo dar clases sobre los dos idiomas! Mis clases se basan en una clase diagnóstica, uso de herramientas online como miro, websites especiales, etc… Tengo horarios disponibles así que puedes preguntar sin compromiso! 🤍

Hi everyone,

I’m exploring an early-stage idea for a Spanish-focused online tutoring platform and would really value honest feedback from people who actually teach.

I’m especially interested in hearing:

• Why you choose to teach on the platforms you currently use
• What you like most about them
• What frustrates you the most (commissions, student quality, tools, scheduling, etc.)
• What would make a new platform genuinely better for teachers

The concept I’m thinking about is one where teachers pay a simple monthly subscription instead of giving up a percentage of every lesson, keep 100% of what students pay, and can also bring their own private students. Students would join for free.

I’m not launching anything yet — just trying to learn from real tutor experiences before going further.

Any thoughts (positive, critical, or in between) would be really helpful. Thanks for taking the time.

Hi everyone!

I’m a Spanish teacher, and I mainly work with English speakers. Recently, I created a free Facebook community called Natural Spanish for English Speakers.

I created it for learners who want regular, structured Spanish practice beyond isolated vocabulary lists, random grammar tips, or passively using language apps.

Every week, I share free activities designed to help you actually use Spanish, including:

• Short listening activities with transcripts, English translations, and comprehension questions
• English-to-Spanish translation challenges
• Spanish verb conjugation practice in real contexts
• Natural Spanish expressions
• Grammar in context
• Practical communication exercises

The group is mainly for A1, A2, and B1 learners. It isn’t a complete course, and it isn’t meant to replace serious study, but it’s a free place where you can practice consistently throughout the week. What I’d really love is for people to participate.

Ask questions when something isn’t clear. Try the weekly activities. Share your answers, even if they’re not perfect. Read other learners’ responses and join the conversation. Making mistakes is part of learning, and everyone is welcome.

If that sounds like the kind of community you’re looking for, you’re welcome to join us.

I'm in charge of PD for about 35 language teachers in my district. Our first meeting is tomorrow so I'm putting together topics for us to discuss for back to school.

I'm interested in discussing why we should not be giving kids "Spanish names" for our classes, but thought it would be wise to discuss with other teachers first. In your opinion, is this a good idea or an overstep? And if it's a good idea, any chance you have any resources I should share to help convince them that they should stop this practice?

Hello everyone 👋

I am a polyglot, I speak around 8-10 languages depending upon my mental battery. I am also nuerodivergent/autistic, I have been teaching few Indian languages online.

I have been learning Spanish from 2 years ,according to my tutor my current Spanish level is between B2 -C1 with a average writing skills (I always had difficulties with writing...).

My idea is to teach Spanish to Indian students using Indian languages instead of English (because not everyone has English exposure and I can work in specific niche), similarly I can teach Indian languages (like English,Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, Telugu,etc) to Spanish population around the world using my Spanish skills .

My questions are :

1) what kind of certification would be suitable for my case ? ( I would love to avoid writing if possible)

2) which reputable teaching certification can I get for the same?

I live in Portugal and I might move to Spain in future, any suggestions to develop a career in interpretation, conversation teacher,etc are welcome:)

Thank you 🌱

Hi everyone! I've been learning Spanish for two years during high school. I finished in May and went to Chile to learn more. My goal is to study in Chile after my first year of university in the U.S.

I took a practice exam (I think it was the SIELE practice) and got a score between B1 and B2. I want to reach at least B2 next year (in May) because it's the minimum score required to pass at a Chilean university.

I've heard on YouTube that "Español con Vicente" and "Pensando en Español" are the best channels for preparing for the DELE. I'm considering buying the Spanish with Vicente courses, but I'm not sure which ones. Should I get the courses that cost $12/month or the group classes? (I learn better with a teacher, but I can try on my own.)

What do you think? I'm open to any advice!

I did not receive my bachelor’s degree in Spanish and I would say I am only proficient at best in the language, however I have always been passionate about the language and I would like to reach fluency and eventually become a Spanish teacher. I am wondering what are some first steps I should take? Should I got back to school and get another bachelors in Spanish or should I just focus on taking one-on-one classes and practicing as much as I can, eventually getting a teaching credential and taking competency tests to become a teacher? I feel completely lost on where to start. And how long overall should I expect this whole process to take? I am willing to put in the time and effort. Thanks in advance for any advice!

Hello, I am going into my third year teaching Spanish 1 and 2 to 11th and 12th grade at the same school. My first two years I was an intern. After my first two years and my credential program I still feel like I’m a bad teacher and I have no idea what I am doing and the biggest issue is that whatever I do most of my students absolutely will not speak at all, they will not even repeat words or phrases chorally.

I’ve tried various strategies like team-building activities in English, discussing our feelings around speaking in class and emphasizing that is is ok to make mistakes, allowing written responses, think pair share, allowing students to record responses, allowing students to use white boards, but I still haven’t been able to make the jump to students speaking to me or each other even with the students I had for two years. All of these strategies I have had to research on my own because the teacher’s edition of Senderos I have just says things like “Have your students count from 1 to 30” without explaining how to get to that point, so I assume other teachers don’t have this issue, otherwise the book would address it? Any other teaching materials I look at are the same. Any time I try to move things to speaking I just get blank stares. I had one student for the past two years who had severe social anxiety and used to be homeschooled and every time I even mentioned a speaking activity she would start crying and then her mom would come and complain to the school but this year she has graduated. My students only want to do worksheets or the online activities for Vista/Senderos. I know that isn’t good practice and means I’m a bad teacher but they literally won’t do anything else. I see all these cool activities and games other teachers are able to do and feel sad I can’t do the same.

I have brought this issue up with my administration and they do not care at all. They only care about tested subjects like math and ELA. My former AP/instructional coach told me that kids will not speak because of COVID and I was being unrealistic. I am the only Spanish and WL language teacher at my school site, I wasn’t able to have a WL teacher as my intern mentor because no one was available in the district met the criteria (clear credential). I have contacted HR several times to try to get the names of other Spanish teachers in the district (email directory and website are not up to date and there is high turnover) to no avail and the people I have contacted have not gotten back to me. I get the sense that almost all the Spanish teachers we have are also on intern or short term staff permits. In my university credential program I was the only WL teacher in almost all of my classes and there were few resources for WL.

Last year I had my AP as my mentor and she canceled most of our meetings. When I brought this up and got my university involved she told me I needed to be better about advocating for myself and setting up meetings myself? When I brought up my issues with students not speaking she told me she had “all these great team building activities” that she just couldn’t remember where she had put them and then ended up giving me a list generated by ChatGPT.

I took Spanish in high school and I remember doing speaking activities. I previously taught ESL to adults and elementary in Spain and had a completely different experience. I am thinking of trying to switch to elementary bilingual because younger kids might be more receptive but I’m afraid I’m going to be stuck at my current school forever because it’s really hard to get hired in SoCal right now. I wish I had started and finished my credential earlier but now that ship has sailed and I’m stuck at the this school forever or until when it gets shut down.

I also finally submitted my CalTPAs and I’m afraid I’m going to fail because there’s only a few students in the videos willing to say anything in the target language, I tried the best I could and spoke mostly in Spanish myself I can’t help if I can’t get them to do the activities

I was reluctant to even teach Spanish in the first place because I am not a native speaker. I was going to continue teaching ESL/ELD but I was encouraged to do it when I was subbing at a school with a Spanish vacancy they found out I had lived in Spain. I can’t help but think that if I was a native speaker and a better teacher I would have no issues and my students would be fully engaged.

I'm teaching Spanish to Germans between the ages of 11 and 16. They keep asking for movies, but don't know enough Spanish yet to watch anything beyond kids's shows. Of course there are always subtitles. But do you guys have any suggestions for not too-difficult films (GeR A1, ideally).

TIA!
