Leave apps like Duolingo behind and start speaking right away with a native teacher. No more textbook language! Practice with everyday situations so you can communicate with Spaniards and Latinos from day one. Immerse yourself in the culture and participate fully, wherever you are!
With our guidance, during your private course you will gain insight into how the language works, allowing you to create new sentences independently. You will see your vocabulary grow every day, and you will truly learn to speak authentic Spanish.
In the first month of your private course, you learn to formulate sentences for everyday situations, such as greeting acquaintances and telling what you are going to do. This way, you are no longer left speechless when a conversation starts. Additionally, you receive tools to make independent progress outside of lessons, which creates a snowball effect in your learning process.
I chose Citadel to improve my Spanish skills and work on my vocabulary, grammar, collocations and a better understanding of cultural differences. It has been a great experience and a lot of fun doing 1 on 1 sessions with Leonor every week and I am making good progress! Cinco estrellas!

Citadel is a really good Spanish language school. Or for Dutch if Spanish is your mother tongue. I enjoy taking 1-on-1 lessons online, first from Ainhoa and now from Leonor. I am experienced in learning languages, and I must say that at Citadel they are extremely professional. Recommended!
Can’t you come to our lessons on location, or is it simply easier for you to attend from home? No problem! In addition to our on-site courses, the Citadel team also has experience in providing online courses. We use various digital tools to make our lessons effective and varied.
Leonor is an amazing teacher, she took me from “dos cervezas por favor”, all the way to passing the B2 Cervantes exam with flying colours 😀

Leonor is a fantastic teacher. She really developed a study schedule that would fit into my busy work travel schedule. On top of that she is very patient and dedicated. She really wants her students to have the best experience AND achieve a lot. Loved it!
We are very impressed by the enthusiasm and professionalism of Citadel. Always clear communication. A decent pace and at the same time there is always room for a joke and motivation. It’s quite difficult to learn a new language when you’ve already left high school for years, but with Citadel we’ll get there!
I took private clases with Leonor to prepare for the DELE exam on the highest level: C2 and I passed! She is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to teaching the intricacies of the language, prepares her lessons methodically (including helping me to develop strategies for the exam) and was super flexible when I had to leave The Hague long term by providing me with online classes (across extreme time differences) and virtual corrections. Cannot recommend her more for anyone looking for a high-quality Spanish teacher, she is worth every cent!
My name is Leonor and I come from Pamplona, a small town in the north of Spain. As far back as I can remember, I have been a huge fan of traveling and languages. When I was 21, I came to this beautiful country without speaking a single word of Dutch. I still remember very well how everything changed once I mastered the language. I no longer felt like an outsider; I could participate in social events and truly get to know the culture.
In 2020, I founded Citadel and since then I have surrounded myself with the best teachers to let you experience the Spanish-speaking culture in all its facets.
