Your Teacher
Hello, I’m Marta Ezquerro, director of MartaSpanishClass.
I specialize in high-impact online Spanish teaching and have over 20 years of experience in Spanish classrooms. I live in Barcelona and help students and professionals from all over the world speak Spanish fluently and confidently in less time, with a strong focus on real communication from the very first lessons.
I hold a degree in Hispanic Philology and am a specialist in teaching Spanish to foreigners, with a solid academic background always applied to real practice. I am also a writer and the author of the novel El cuarto de las muchachas, and I have taught numerous creative writing workshops. In addition, I am a creator of educational content for teaching Spanish on various digital platforms, where I develop my own materials used by students and teachers worldwide.
I have worked as a Spanish teacher in both corporate and academic environments, collaborating with international companies and training professionals who needed fast and effective results. Today, my work focuses on personalized online teaching, a format that allows me to closely support my students and adapt to their real goals. I also have experience working with students with learning difficulties, such as dyslexia, adapting Spanish so that it becomes an accessible language rather than a barrier.
Alongside teaching, I train teachers of Spanish as a Foreign Language (ELE). I am the Director of the International Master’s Program in Teaching Spanish in Different Contexts and Academic Director at ELEInternacional, where I help future teachers train with professional, up-to-date, and realistic criteria.
Welcome to my Marta Spanish Class!
“Online language learning is such an effective method because your lessons will focus on the core skills of listening and speaking which are at the very heart of learning any language.”
Marta Ezquerro
I have been taking conversation class with Teacher Marta for several weeks. I wanted to take on a Spanish course but I was unable to commit to the classroom and Martaspanishclass has the solution! The Spanish Online classes are an effective way to learn Spanish one on one. These classes offer complete flexibility in terms of dates, content and duration. The classes are via Skype and I love it!
Spending my regular weekly hours with Marta was a real breeze of fresh air, during my adaptation to a new Spanish and Catalan culture. Teaching me a castellano by an interactive approach, assessing relevant topics to my work, as well as to my adaptation into the Spanish society. Something like a 3 in 1, language, cultural and professional development. Thank you very much for your support, and we will surely be in touch in the future.
