Book private Spanish tutoring in Durham

Spanish tutoring in Durham typically costs about $26/h per session.

Prices shift based on a few key elements:

• The student's level (A1 through C2)
• The tutor's experience and qualifications (years of teaching, DELE preparation experience)

Many tutors offer discounted package rates for students who book multiple sessions in advance.

The Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) defines six stages: A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, and C2.

• A1-A2 (Beginner): At this stage, you handle introductions, order food, and describe yourself in short phrases.
• B1-B2 (Intermediate): These levels bridge basic communication and true fluency, adding past tenses and subjunctive moods.
• C1-C2 (Advanced): C1 is professional fluency; C2 approaches native-level command, including idioms and regional slang.

Private lessons target your weak points so you progress through levels efficiently.

The distinction between pretérito and imperfecto often confuses students because both describe past events.

• Use pretérito for finished events: Llegué a las tres (I arrived at three).
• Imperfect sets the scene or expresses routines without a definite endpoint.
• The same event can require either tense depending on whether you focus on completion or duration.

Working through dialogues and narratives with a teacher clarifies when to use each tense.
