Different learners require different types of teachers, and this is one of the main reasons that there has been such a rise in the popularity of the tutoring market. When you are in a classroom setting the teacher has to stick to a pretty strict curriculum, covering a wide range of topics within the Spanish language. This means they have to move quite quickly and they don’t have much time to revise bits you may struggle with.
Whether you struggle with grammar, or your Spanish accent needs work, a tutor will discuss all of this with you before beginning their lessons and help iron out all of these mistakes, turning your weaknesses into strengths!

What Makes Spanish a Good Language to Learn?
Whether you are currently deep into your Spanish learning journey, or more of a beginner, we encourage you to keep learning and improving your Spanish as there are not many more useful languages to have!
This may be a surprising fact to some, but there are even more native Spanish speakers than there are English Speakers, with them scattered all over the world, across two continents! Spanish has the unique ability to open up an entire continent to you, beautiful South America!
Spanish is the main language across most of the countries there, and having some level of the language allows you to work, visit and travel to these wonderful countries, a true once in a lifetime opportunity!
Having a second language also allows you to pick up other languages easier! And in more good news, many of the European languages are quite similar and share some middle ground so if you have a good level of Spanish, you will probably have a good understanding of French, Italian and Portuguese!
This helps you to truly connect with people in different countries. Learning a new language is one of the best things you could ever do and it has many positive effects on your lifestyle.
Now, how do I get my language to that level you may ask? Well, this is where the tutor comes in, and now is where we tell you how to find Spanish lessons in Galway!

Find a Tutor in a Few Clicks to Improve your Spanish
Perhaps you are starting to see a pattern here, all of these are free services that offer you the chance to pick and choose Spanish tutors online.

They are versatile and offer face to face lessons as well as zoom lessons.
It is very important to have both options as some students either don’t feel comfortable meeting a tutor or simply prefer to do it from home. Other learners would rather home as it takes you out of your comfort zone and removes distractions. This can lead to some really quick improvement with your Spanish!
With TutorHub, there are a number of tutors available that have recently gone through the leaving certificate programme and achieved very good results with a number of them receiving H1 scores at the highest level. This means the tutors have an in-depth knowledge of the subject and can really focus on specifics and the particular issues you are having with the Spanish course.
They know the importance of having the basics of the language and will prepare you for the exams, while also helping you to be comfortable using the language with others. When it comes to language learning, the best way to learn is by exposure, and while many can’t travel to a Spanish speaking region in the lead up to exams, most of us have access to these services, where we can schedule weekly chats with a native Spanish speaker.
