Advanced Spanish Classes Online: 1-on-1 Lessons for B2 to C2 Learners

What is advanced Spanish? B2, C1 and C2 levels explained

“Advanced” means different things depending on who you ask. Here is how I use it:

• B2 (upper intermediate): you handle most conversations and texts, but you still hesitate and make mistakes with complex structures.
• C1 (advanced): you express ideas fluently and with flexibility, at work, in study and in social life.
• C2 (mastery): you understand almost everything and express yourself with precision, including subtle nuances.

My advanced classes are for B2 learners and above. If you are below B2, the lessons will move too fast to be useful.

Signs you’re ready for advanced Spanish classes

• You understand most of what you hear, but your answers come out slowly or sound textbook-like.
• You keep making the same mistakes, even though you know the rule.
• You avoid certain structures (subjunctive, reported speech) because you don’t trust yourself.
• You need a certificate, or you are preparing for a job or a move where your Spanish has to be spotless.

Check your Spanish level before you book

Not sure whether you are B2 or C1? Book a trial lesson and we will find out together in a short conversation. I’ll tell you your level, what is holding you back and what to work on first.

What you will learn in our advanced Spanish lessons

Every plan is personal. These are the four areas we usually work on, depending on your goal.

Advanced grammar: subjunctive, conditionals and reported speech

The structures that separate B2 from C1 are the ones that get avoided. We work on:

• Subjunctive in all its uses, including the ones that confuse even advanced students.
• Conditional sentences and hypothetical language.
• Reported speech and passive constructions.
• Verbal periphrases, por and para, and prepositions after verbs.

We practise in context, not in endless gap-fill exercises.

Speaking fluently and naturally: connectors, idioms and register

Fluency at this level is about choice. We work on:

• Connectors that organise your ideas and sound natural.
• Idioms and everyday expressions from Spain.
• Register: how to speak with a boss, a friend or a client.
• Pronunciation and intonation, when they affect clarity.

Advanced listening and reading with real materials

We use real Spanish: news, podcasts, film, interviews and literature. You choose topics that interest you, and I choose tasks that stretch you.

Formal and professional writing

Writing is where most C1 students struggle. You bring emails, reports or essays, and I correct them line by line. We work on structure, tone and the typical mistakes that make a text sound non-native.

How our advanced Spanish classes work

1-on-1 live lessons on Google Meet, taught in Spanish

One hour, just you and me. I speak Spanish from the start and adapt my vocabulary and speed so you can follow without switching to English. That immersion is what makes the difference at this level.

A personalised plan based on your goals

In the first lesson I ask what you need Spanish for: work, an exam, living in Spain or simply speaking like yourself. From there we choose priorities and a rhythm. If your goal changes, the plan changes.

Written corrections and materials after every lesson

During the lesson I note your mistakes. Afterwards you receive written corrections and the materials we used: expressions, connectors and the errors to avoid. You can go back to them whenever you want.

Advanced Spanish classes for DELE C1, DELE C2 and SIELE

If your goal is an official certificate, advanced lessons are the natural base. I’m a certified DELE examiner, so I know what a marked task looks like and where students lose points.

We work on the exam tasks, timing and strategy at the same time as your Spanish. See the DELE preparation page for the full exam path.

How to learn advanced Spanish: what actually works at B2 and C1

Why progress slows down after B2

Up to B2, almost everything you learn is visible: new words, new tenses. After B2, improvement is subtler. You already communicate, so mistakes stop blocking you and nobody corrects them. The result is a plateau: you understand, you get by, but you don’t sound the way you want to.

Habits that make the difference

• Get your mistakes corrected. Without feedback, errors become habits.
• Write regularly and have it reviewed. Writing exposes gaps that speaking hides.
• Listen and read daily, with attention. Choose Spanish from Spain and Latin America, not only classroom material.
• Speak with a teacher who pushes you. Comfortable conversation won’t take you from B2 to C1.
