Hi, I'm Whitney Winston.
I run Luma Spanish LLC, a small tutoring practice based in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. I work with learners one-on-one through online lessons, helping them build real understanding of Spanish at their own pace.
I've been working with and studying Spanish for more than six years. My focus is on making lessons practical, clear, and actually useful — whether you're just starting out or picking back up where you left off.

Lessons for where you actually are.
There's no required level or starting point. Lessons are adapted to you.

No Spanish background needed. We start from scratch and build from there.
Returning learners
You studied Spanish before but feel rusty. Lessons can pick up where you left off.
Conversation-focused learners
You know some Spanish but want to practice actually speaking and being understood.
Students needing extra support
School Spanish moving too fast? We can work alongside what you're already studying.
Adults learning for personal reasons
Travel, family, culture, or simply wanting to learn — all valid reasons to start.
“Each lesson focuses on what's most useful for you right now — not a fixed syllabus.”
A lesson built around you.
Every learner is different. Some need to slow down on pronunciation, others want to practice conversation from the start. Lessons are online and shaped around what you actually need to work on.
Your level
We start from where you are, not where a textbook assumes you should be.
Your questions
Confused about something specific? That becomes the lesson.
Your pace
No pressure to move faster than feels comfortable.
Your goals
Travel, school, conversation — lessons are oriented around what you want.

Owner, Luma Spanish LLC · Tuscaloosa, Alabama
I started Luma Spanish because I believe learning a language should feel manageable, not overwhelming. Spanish opens up a lot of possibilities, and I enjoy helping people reach the point where they can actually use it.
I've spent more than six years working with and studying Spanish, and every lesson I give is a chance to help someone understand something they couldn't before. That's the part I find most rewarding.
