Speaking-first coaching that helps you move from "knowing" Spanish to actually using it.
Break the cycle of studying without speaking. Real coaching, real conversations, real progress.
Why can you understand Spanish
but still struggle to speak it?
You've probably spent years trying to learn Spanish through apps, grammar rules, and group classes. That helped you recognize Spanish when you hear or read it. But it didn't train you to use Spanish in real time.
So when you try to speak, a few things tend to happen at once:
- You focus on getting things "right" instead of staying in the conversation
- You become aware of your accent and start holding back
- You know what you want to say, but it doesn't come out in time because you hesitate
- Your mind goes blank when the conversation moves fast
Coaching that helps you finally use
the Spanish you already know
Hola, I'm Daniel — your private Spanish tutor
I'm Daniel Herrera. I grew up in Lima, Peru, and moved to the U.S. in my early twenties. Suddenly, I was surrounded by a language I didn't fully speak, in a culture that felt unfamiliar.
I bounced between apps and courses, studied hard, memorized words, practiced grammar — but when it came time to actually talk, I froze.
I knew the language, but I didn't know how to use it. My accent made me self-conscious, and little by little, I started avoiding conversations altogether.
What changed everything for me wasn't more studying. It was letting go of the pressure to sound perfect and focusing on real connection instead.
That experience is the foundation of how I coach today. I help you do the same thing in Spanish: move past fear, stop overthinking, and start using the language in a way that feels natural, human, and usable — not academic.
