Start with what you want to do in Spanish

A learner preparing a school speaking task and an adult hoping to hold a conversation need different practice. Describe a situation you find difficult, rather than just asking to become more confident. That gives the tutor a useful starting point.

Starting or returning to Spanish
If you are beginning, start with a short exchange you can understand and answer, with English explanations where needed. If you studied before, bring an example of what you remember and where you get stuck.
Conversation, family or travel
Name a real goal, such as expressing your interests or understanding questions when ordering food. Practise both sides of the exchange: producing a prepared sentence is only part of a conversation.
School or exam preparation
Bring your course name, exam board, exam year and tier where relevant, plus a recent task or marked answer. These help distinguish missing language knowledge from difficulty with a particular assessment task.

From a grammar correction to a spoken reply

Here is an illustrative beginner task that could be used in an online lesson. The learner writes “Me gusta los libros”, intending to say “I like books.” The corrected sentence is “Me gustan los libros.”

With gustar, the verb agrees with the thing liked. Los libros means “books” and is plural, so it takes gustan. Me tells us who likes them; it does not make the verb singular. Compare “Me gusta leer” — “I like reading.” Here leer, meaning “to read”, is an infinitive — the verb’s “to read” form — so it takes gusta.

For online practice, the tutor could place both correct sentences in shared notes, let the learner identify what changes, and then hide the written answers. A spoken follow-up is “¿Te gusta leer?” — “Do you like reading?” One answer is “Sí, me gusta leer” — “Yes, I like reading.”

The useful check is whether the learner understands the question and chooses the correct form without copying the model. A clear explanation, a correction and a chance to try again give you something concrete to discuss when comparing teaching approaches.

Prepare for the tasks on your Spanish course

Use materials for the learner’s actual qualification. The examples below concern AQA qualifications in England; learners following another board or a course elsewhere in the UK need its own current requirements.

AQA GCSE Spanish 8692: First examined in May/June 2026, this specification includes short dictation in listening and reading aloud in speaking. For dictation practice, hear a short sentence, write what you hear, then compare it with the text to locate a missed sound or spelling. For reading aloud, work from the written sentence and connect the spelling to its pronunciation. Use the correct Foundation or Higher materials.
AQA A-level Spanish 7692: writing: Paper 2 requires critical and analytical essays on studied works. An online session could keep a paragraph and a relevant passage or scene reference visible together: identify the interpretation, select the detail supporting it, and explain the connection. A plot summary needs that explanation before it becomes an argument.
AQA A-level Spanish 7692: speaking: Speaking includes presenting and discussing an individual research project. Prepare to explain why a source supports your view and respond to a follow-up question about it. This calls for discussion beyond reading a prepared presentation aloud.

Next step

Make the online lesson easy to hear and follow

Microsoft Teams is Latimer’s default lesson platform; you and the tutor can agree another option. Before the first paid lesson, check that the learner can hear Spanish clearly, see the work and take turns comfortably. Use the following as preparation points to agree with the tutor.

Check speech and listening audio
Test the microphone and speakers, then try any clip you intend to use. In Teams, sharing a screen and including computer sound are separate settings. Check that the learner hears the clip clearly before starting a listening task.
Have readable work ready
Use a clear photograph of a school exercise or a short text you can both read. Agree how corrections will be saved and which version the learner should use afterwards.
Explain the support you need
Tell the tutor if slower speech, larger text, written prompts or breaks would help. Discuss hearing or other access needs before booking so you can check the proposed setup together.
Plan a child’s working space
Use a suitable desk or table and agree where a parent or carer will be during the lesson. NSPCC guidance recommends keeping a parent or carer within earshot where possible and discussing additional support needs in advance.

Choose a tutor and discuss the first lessons

Compare relevant experience and explanations alongside the practical arrangements. Latimer tutors offer a free introductory meeting before paid lessons. It is a conversation about goals and fit, rather than normally being a full teaching lesson.

Compare the relevant experience
Look for experience with your starting point and, for exams, the named course. For conversation, explain the situations you want to practise. A profile’s language background alone does not tell you how the tutor will explain a difficulty.
Use the introduction to make a decision
Bring one question or piece of work and describe where you get stuck. Discuss the balance of spoken practice, explanation and written feedback, and what help would be useful between lessons.
Agree the practical details
Confirm the lesson rate, suitable times and platform. Set a manageable first target, such as answering a familiar question without written prompts or correcting a recurring error in a school task. Agree when to review that target.

How arranging tuition works

Keep the next practice task small and specific

Leave a lesson knowing which correction or skill to practise. One possible routine is to revisit a corrected answer on another day, say it without looking, and note the point that still causes difficulty. Bring that point back to the next lesson so feedback can address it.

For listening, replay a short passage you have already studied and check one detail before looking at the transcript. For a school writing task, redraft the corrected sentence and explain the change. For conversation, try the exchange again with the written answer hidden. These are practice suggestions to adapt with your tutor, rather than a fixed homework package.

If you already know some basic Spanish, OpenLearn’s free Beginners’ Spanish: food and drink resource offers Spain-focused food, ordering, shopping and listening practice. It assumes some prior knowledge. Choose a relevant activity rather than treating completion of the whole resource as your lesson goal.

Support and clarity

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers to the questions people ask most often.

Can I start online Spanish lessons as a complete beginner?

Yes, you can request a tutor for a complete beginner. Make that starting point clear so you can discuss an appropriate pace, English explanations and simple spoken exchanges. You do not need to know a formal language-level label; describe what you can already understand or say, even if that is very little.

How much do online Spanish lessons cost?

Each tutor sets their own hourly rate, shown on their profile. Compare that rate with the relevance of their experience and the support discussed. Latimer invoices after lessons on a pay-as-you-go basis, rather than requiring a long-term package. Confirm the lesson price and booking terms before you arrange paid tuition.

How often should I have Spanish lessons?

Agree a frequency that fits your starting point, goal, budget and the practice time you can sustain. An approaching exam may change your priorities, while a conversation goal may allow a different pace. Review what you can do independently before increasing the amount of tuition; there is no single lesson count that establishes fluency.

Do I need a native Spanish speaker or a qualified teacher?

Start with the teaching experience your goal calls for. A school learner should discuss the actual course and assessment tasks; an adult beginner needs explanations and practice they can follow. Read the tutor’s stated background and ask about relevant experience. A native-speaker label or teaching qualification alone does not establish the best fit for your particular goal.

Can I have conversation lessons without preparing for an exam?

Yes, you can request conversation-focused tuition. Give the tutor a situation you want to handle, such as talking about your interests or understanding a question while travelling. Discuss how listening, replies and corrections will fit into the lesson, and how much English explanation would help at your starting point.

What if online lessons are difficult for me to follow?

Identify whether the difficulty is hearing the audio, reading shared work, taking turns or maintaining concentration. Try the proposed adjustments with the tutor before committing to regular lessons. If you need in-person or mixed online and in-person tuition, that requires an individual agreement about location, travel and the lesson arrangement.
