Hey! Hola! It's Lara here, I am a language teacher and translator who has experience working at a school, a language school and doing private tutoring online, to both kids and adults.
I specialise in intermediate and advanced levels of Spanish (my mother tongue) but I can also help beginners and intermediate students of English and French, and I follow a communicative approach - the essential for me is that you feel confident speaking and having conversations.
I love traveling, learning languages and meeting people from different cultures and backgrounds. I speak fluent English, French, Spanish, Galician and some Italian. So yes, I also went through the process of second language learning many times before!
I currently live in Melbourne and teach weekly online for 10 students, who are all delighted with their progress!

Before taking lessons with Lara, I had studied Spanish on my own, but every time I tried to speak, I would freeze, overthink grammar, and end up switching to English. I wanted to feel confident speaking Spanish, especially for traveling and meeting new people, but I didn’t know how to get past this block.
After a few months of lessons, everything changed. Lara creates such a comfortable and engaging environment that I started speaking from day o ...ne without fear of making mistakes. She always adapts the lessons to my needs, and instead of just memorizing grammar, we practice real situations with roleplays, exactly what I needed!
Now, I can easily hold conversations with locals, ask for directions, and even joke around in Spanish! I recently traveled to Argentina and Chile, and for the first time, I felt truly confident using Spanish in real-life situations. If you’re struggling to speak fluently, I highly recommend her lessons!
