REVIEWS
Augustus O. review on 6 Jul, 2020
Beatriz is a fantastic teacher that improves her students' language abilities at a very fast rate. She is accommodating with time, learning preferences and goal preferences. She teaches always through conversation so I became very comfortable speaking Spanish very quickly. She is also reliable and kind - overall, a great experience.

Enrique is a brilliant teacher, patient and flexible with lessons to suit individual needs. He keeps lessons varied and interesting with a focus on teachings that can be applied in real life. I highly recommend for all levels!
APPROACH TO TEACHING
Over the years, we have created our own approach to teaching Spanish. We are passionate about teaching and tailoring lessons for each of our students. Thus, the teaching strategies that we use depend on the students' characteristics, their level of command of the language, their learning styles and their personal goals in the acquisition of a second language.
We always put the language in the centre of different contexts, creating situations which can be found in everyday settings. While assimilating new concepts, the students keep using all the elements they have learnt in previous sessions and, as in concentric circles, the new grammar structures and vocabulary just keep adding. We also use the grammar-translation method to improve the reading and writing of GCSEs students. Both with our adult and younger students, we use a lot of audio-visual material which supports the learning process and makes the sessions fun and enjoyable. We always discuss the method with our students beforehand so that they are aware of the characteristics of our approach.
