Price of private Spanish lessons, face to face or online

Spanish is the most widely taught language after English, so tutors are easy to find in Highfields and across Leicestershire. A local private tutor generally charges £25 to £40 an hour, while an evening class at an adult education centre costs around £150 to £300 for a ten-week term.

Online, native Spanish tutors from Spain, Mexico, Colombia or Argentina start at about £8 to £12 an hour and rarely go above £30. A short trial lesson lets you check their accent and teaching style before buying a block of hours.

DELE, SIELE and A level Spanish: exam preparation

The DELE, issued by the Instituto Cervantes, is the internationally recognised certificate, with levels from A1 to C2 and no expiry date. The SIELE is a computer-based alternative with results in a few weeks. Adults returning to study can also sit GCSE or A level Spanish as private candidates at an exam centre in Leicestershire.

A good tutor works from past papers, times your writing tasks and runs mock oral exams, since the speaking part is where most candidates lose marks. Allow three to six months of regular lessons for one level up.

Spain or Latin America: choosing the Spanish you learn

The grammar is the same, but the accent, some vocabulary and the use of vosotros differ between Spain and Latin America. If you are heading to Málaga, pick a tutor from Spain; for a trip to Mexico or Peru, a Latin American tutor will prepare you better.

To practise between lessons in Highfields, look for a Spanish conversation group or a language exchange at a café, pub or library, and watch Spanish series with Spanish subtitles. Ten minutes of listening a day keeps the progress made in class.

Spanish tutors by video call: you choose a native or qualified tutor of this language, book a first lesson at a low price, then set your own pace.

Spanish tutors: three ways to make progress

One lesson a week all year round

The most common pace among adults: it keeps motivation up and moves you about one level a year, as long as you practise a little between lessons.

A final push before an exam

Three or four sessions a week for one to two months, focused on the format of the test, past papers and timing.

Pure conversation to build confidence

No textbook: you talk about your day, the news or your job, and the tutor corrects the mistakes that keep coming back.

Spanish tutors in Highfields: frequently asked questions

How long does it take to learn Spanish as an English speaker?

Spanish is one of the easier languages for English speakers: around 600 to 750 hours of study for professional fluency, by common estimates. With two lessons a week and daily practice, most adults hold a simple conversation after four to six months.

Is a Spanish tutor from Spain better than one from Latin America?

Neither is better: choose the accent you will use. Both teach the same grammar, and a good tutor will point out the regional differences in vocabulary and pronunciation.

Can I take the DELE exam in England?

Yes. The Instituto Cervantes and approved exam centres run DELE sessions several times a year, in London, Manchester and other cities. Register well before the deadline, usually two months before the exam date.
