Private Spanish class in a Magdalena home

Who I teach in Magdalena

The people who chose the quieter oceanfront.

Magdalena del Mar sits between San Isidro and the ocean. Quieter streets, lower rents, the same Malecón that runs all the way through Lima. Students here are usually here to stay.

·
Remote workers

Magdalena as the quieter base

You chose Magdalena for the Malecón, the lower rents, the walkable blocks and the ocean air. Practical Spanish for your landlord, your neighbors, your weekly ceviche run.

·
Long-term residents

The oceanfront life

Quieter than Miraflores, closer to the sea than San Isidro. Building the Spanish that turns a district you like into a district you fully belong to.

·
Couples & family

Two people, one shared vocabulary

Couples' lessons at home are common in Magdalena — one session, one flat rate. Same curriculum, so you learn at the same pace and practice on each other between lessons.

·
Families

Settled around the Malecón

Doctors, schools, apartment issues, dinners with neighbors. Spanish that removes the daily friction of running a household in Lima — around school runs and weekend rhythms.

How lessons work here

At home, in the district you live in.

Most Magdalena students take lessons at home — because the district is quiet and the apartments are comfortable.

01

I come to your home

Your apartment or house anywhere in Magdalena — around the Malecón, Pershing, Javier Prado Oeste, San Felipe, Salaverry, Brasil. Travel is included in the lesson price.

02

Or a quiet café nearby

Magdalena has quiet cafés near the Malecón and in the residential blocks — pick a spot with acceptable noise and I'll meet you there.

03

Daytime slots for remote workers

Mid-morning and mid-afternoon slots work well for people working from home. Between meetings, before lunch, after a walk on the Malecón — pick a moment your focus is real.

04

Weekends and evenings welcome

Mornings, lunch hours, evenings, weekends. We build the schedule around your week, not the other way around.

05

Online any week that needs it

Travel, illness, hosting friends — we keep the momentum on video call and pick back up at your kitchen table next week.
