About italki Spanish tutors
italki is a marketplace of one-to-one tutors, and Spanish is one of its biggest languages: you choose a teacher by price, country, reviews and video, book a lesson and meet on video. Each tutor sets their own price, so the range is wide; we have not checked the current Spanish range. You can filter by where the teacher is from, which helps if you want Mexican, Colombian, Argentine or Spain Spanish. It suits anyone past the first few weeks who wants to speak every week. Quality varies, so try a few trial lessons before committing.
