Helping Expats Over 50 Feel at Home in Spain Through Language
My passion has always been teaching languages, not only the linguistic aspects of it, but also the cultural ones through immersive activities which allow you to experience Spain in an authentic and fun way.
I specialize in helping English-speaking adults over 50 who have chosen to live in Spain and want to feel more independent, confident, and truly connected through Spanish.
Hola! I’m María Ángeles – welcome on board!
Hello! I’m María Ángeles, a qualified and experienced Spanish teacher for expats living in Spain.
I teach in-person classes in Ayamonte, a beautiful town in southern Spain, and I also offer online Spanish lessons for expats living in other parts of Spain or preparing to move here.
My Background
-
Degree in Translation and Interpreting from the University of Pablo de Olavide (Sevilla), Spain.
-
Master’s in Language Teaching (Máster en Formación del Profesorado) from the University of Sevilla, Spain.
-
Over 15 years of experience teaching Spanish to learners of all ages — especially adults over 50.
-
Native Spanish speaker, bilingual in English, with first-hand experience of living abroad.
I’ve worked with complete beginners, nervous speakers, and long-time learners who just needed the right method and support to finally start speaking.
“I have studied Spanish with Maria using Skype for over two years and been impressed by her friendly but professional approach to teaching. She adapts the content and methods to suit my needs – focusing on tricky grammar points or vocabulary when required, but mostly using our time to develop my competence and confidence with the spoken language.”

“Maria es una profesora muy profesional. Todas las clases son personalizadas, bien preparadas en y tienen un plan. Las clases son muy divertidas y educativas, con una combinación de tiempos verbales, expresión oral, cultura, palabras y más. Me encanta las clases y te recomendaría inscribirte y empezar a mejorar tu español.”
Marly (Holanda)
“I have been learning Spanish with Maria for 2 years now. I could improve my Spanish very quickly, I am now able to speak fluently about all kinds of topics. She is a very friendly teacher, it´s a pleasure to know her. There has not been a single lesson that I have not enjoyed and benefited from. For anyone who would like to learn Spanish well and quickly, I can wholeheartedly recommend María.”

My Approach: Spanish That Helps You Live, Not Just Learn
After years of teaching, I realized one essential truth: language learning is emotional.
Grammar alone doesn’t help you when you’re at the doctor, talking to neighbours, or buying bread at the market. What makes the difference is:
✅ Feeling safe to make mistakes
✅ Learning Spanish in real-life situations
✅ Having someone guide, encourage, and adapt to your pace
That’s why I created a program that focuses on natural communication, practical tools, and a supportive space where you can grow your Spanish with confidence.
