Meet Alejandra – Your Native Spanish Teacher

I’ve helped Leaving Cert students go from struggling with grammar and feeling nervous about the oral exam to walking into their exam with real confidence – in both Higher and Ordinary Level Spanish. A lot of my students come to me unsure of the subjunctive, or completely lost when it comes to writing an opinion piece – and I work through it together, step by step, until it clicks. I’m patient, and I make sure every student feels comfortable asking questions – there’s no such thing as a silly question in my lessons.

I’m a native Spanish speaker from Chile who also lived for several years in Spain, so I know both Latin American and European Spanish inside out. I hold a university degree in Languages and a specialisation certificate in Spanish as a Foreign Language (ELE), and I’ve spent over 10 years teaching Spanish here in Dublin.

I’d love to help you get there. Book a free trial lesson and let’s get started.

WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY

What our students say

“

I’ve really enjoyed my Spanish grinds online with Alejandra. Having a native Spanish teacher makes a huge difference for language development – she explains everything clearly and breaks it all down so it’s easy to understand. She’s so friendly and kind, always ready to answer any questions. The classes are really interactive, with exercises like verb conjugations and writing practice. My Spanish has improved a lot and it’s been very beneficial for Leaving Cert preparation. I would highly recommend her online Spanish lessons – they’re enjoyable and you always leave having learned something new. Freya, Leaving Cert student 2025/6, Dublin

Alejandra was the biggest help to me during the Leaving Cert. I went up 4 grades from my mocks and it was all thanks to these grinds lessons. Alejandra puts in so much effort and genuinely cares about the different learning strategies for everyone and this makes a huge difference for studying Spanish. The lessons are always enjoyable and makes learning a language seem much simpler! Leaving Cert student, 2023 Sophie Rice

Alejandra helped me massively to bring up my grade and gave me a really good understanding of the basics in Spanish that I didn’t have before. She always made me feel comfortable if I didn’t know something and made sure to not skip on until I understood it. I would highly recommend her to any student taking Spanish in school.
