About me
A true love for Spain
My story
My Andalusian story
Hi, I'm Martel. With a true love for Spain, its language, its people and its culture, I spent many happy years living in Andalusia — immersed in the warmth, the rhythm, and the beauty of Spanish life.
Those years gave me something no classroom ever could: a deep, authentic connection to the language. I didn't just study Spanish — I lived it. And that experience is at the heart of everything I teach.
Now I bring that same warmth and passion to my students. My lessons are personal, encouraging, and built around a unique word association method that makes Spanish feel natural and memorable — not like hard work.
Whether you're a complete beginner or simply someone who's always wanted to give Spanish a go, I'd love to be part of your journey.
What I believe
The Hola Speak Spanish difference
A genuine love for Spain
Having lived for many happy years in Andalusia, I bring real cultural warmth and authenticity to every lesson — not just textbook Spanish.
Speaking and understanding
I teach you both sides of the language. You'll learn to speak with confidence and to truly understand Spanish when it's spoken back to you.
A method that actually works
My unique word association approach makes vocabulary stick naturally — no rote learning, no frustration, just real progress.
Fun for every age
Whether you're 8 or 80, learning Spanish should be an adventure. I tailor every lesson to suit you, your pace, and your personality.
