DELE Preparation Course Online: 1-on-1 Classes with a Certified DELE Examiner

What our DELE preparation course includes

You are not buying a recorded course or a textbook. You get a teacher who works on your exam, your weaknesses and your calendar.

1-on-1 DELE classes online on Google Meet

One hour, just you and me, live. Lessons are 100% in Spanish, so you also practise the language you will need on exam day.

All you need is a computer, a stable connection and headphones.

Practice with real exam tasks and timing

The DELE is not only a language test: it is also a test of method. In class we work through each task type and learn:

• What the task asks and what examiners expect.
• How to split your time between tasks.
• Which phrases and structures score well.
• Where students usually lose points.

As one of my students said, in every class I explain how to approach each task and how long it takes.

Feedback on writing and speaking from a DELE examiner

Reading and listening can be checked with an answer key. Writing and speaking cannot. That’s where an examiner makes the difference.

I review your texts and your spoken answers following the logic of the official criteria, and tell you what to fix first.

Study materials, common mistakes and useful connectors

I share my own materials: expressions, connectors, text structures and a list of typical mistakes per task. You study with them between lessons, and we review them in class.

Choose your DELE level: A2, B1, B2, C1 or C2

Each level has its own demands, tasks and kind of student. Pick yours to see the details.

DELE A2

For learners who can handle simple everyday exchanges and want an official certificate of basic Spanish. Learn more →

DELE B1

For learners who handle everyday situations and want an official certificate of independent Spanish. Learn more →

Not sure which DELE level to take?

Choose the level your goal requires first (a university, an employer, a visa or citizenship process). If you don’t have a requirement, we decide together.

In the trial lesson I check your current level and tell you honestly if you are ready for the level you want, or if another is better for now.

How our DELE exam preparation works

Level check and exam date

We start with a conversation to assess your Spanish and talk about your goal: which level, which exam date, what you need the certificate for. With that, we know how much time we have and what is realistic.

Personalised study plan

I build a plan based on your level, your weak points and the time you have. It says what we work on each week and what you do between lessons.

Weekly classes with homework and feedback

Each class combines three things:

• Exam tasks done under realistic conditions.
• Corrections of your writing and speaking.
• Language work on the grammar and vocabulary that appear in your mistakes.

You get homework, and I give you feedback on it in the next lesson.

Mock exam and final review

Before the exam, we do a timed mock exam. I mark it and we review the results together: what to keep, what to fix and how to manage your time and nerves on the day.

Why prepare for the DELE with a certified examiner

I’m Cristina, a native Spanish teacher from Spain. I know the DELE from the inside:

• DELE examiner certified by the Instituto Cervantes.
• Master’s degree in teaching Spanish as a foreign language (Universidad de La Rioja).
• Instituto Cervantes course on teaching for the SIELE exam.
• More than five years teaching individual and group classes.

What that means for you:

• You learn what examiners reward and what they penalise.
• Your feedback follows real criteria, not opinion.
• You spend your time on what raises your result.

Students I have prepared include learners working towards the DELE C1, a student who passed the DELE A2 and one who reached their goals in the SIELE exam.

I can’t promise a pass, because it depends on you and on exam day. I can promise a clear method and honest feedback.

What the DELE tests: structure at a glance

The DELE evaluates the four language skills: reading, listening, writing and speaking. Each level has its own tasks, duration and marking system.

• Reading comprehension
• Listening comprehension
• Writing: expression and interaction
• Speaking: expression and interaction

DELE or SIELE: which exam should you prepare for?

Both certify your Spanish, but they work differently and suit different needs.

• DELE: an official diploma from the Instituto Cervantes, with no expiry date. Many students choose it for study, work or nationality-related requirements.
• SIELE: a certificate valid for five years, taken on a computer, which gives you a score from 0 to 1000 on a scale rather than a pass or fail.

If you are unsure, check the requirements of the institution that asks for the certificate. Then tell me and I’ll help you decide. See the SIELE preparation page.

DELE exam dates and how to register

These are the official sessions of the Instituto Cervantes that have not taken place yet. The dates are the same for all DELE exam centres worldwide. Checked on October 22, 2026 against the official DELE site.

Check the official DELE calendar before you plan: the Instituto Cervantes may publish new sessions, and each centre sets its own registration details. Registration and the exam fee are handled directly with the Instituto Cervantes or an authorised centre.
