Testimonials

what my students say

“An exemplary language teacher

 

Virginia is an exemplary language teacher. Only a true teacher can make you banish all your inhibitions and just have a go without fear of 'making a mistake' or 'getting it wrong.' She is constantly encouraging and enthusiastic whilst setting high expectations and enabling you to do your best. 

In her lessons I feel like I can speak Spanish even though I don't know much!!

Virginia also plans her lessons meticulously with a perfect mix of speaking and listening, reading, grammar and writing tasks, games, paired activities, discussion, film clips, songs, and insights into culture of the Spanish speaking world. There is always lots to discover and lots to learn, and she is also very considerate of your interests and personalises the lessons just for you. For example, one week I  walked a little part of the Camino di Santiago trail in Spain and the following lesson she had created a whole session based on the history of the trail!

“Enthusiastic and knows how to motivate

 

Virginia is an excellent tutor. She is friendly and supportive as well as patient and knowledgeable.

Her knowledge of Spanish grammar and cultural nuances is great not just because she is a native speaker but she can articulate her knowledge well. 

She is very enthusiastic and knows how to motivate her students. She makes sure to check we understand the material and takes the time to answer all of the questions. The lessons usually go by quickly with a nice balance of grammar and conversation.

Thank you, Virginia!

“A new World of Language Learning

 
Virginia's Spanish classes have opened up a whole new world to me - I just love attending her lessons. It is difficult to pick the best bits but here are just some of them: 
 
The lessons are delivered with enthusiasm and professionalism in equal measure. Here is someone who really teaches for the enjoyment of sharing. Though only at elementary level, we only get to speak Spanish during classes, so we have to sit up and listen but we learn a lot. I was even complimented by a number of native speakers of Spanish on my last holiday to Costa Rica. They all said how good my Spanish was. Each lesson I leave with at least five large pages of notes to review (new words, a new turn of phrase, some grammar).
 
Frankly, Virginia's classes are one of the best investments I have ever made both in terms of money and time. Two things are guaranteed: we learn a lot and have a great deal of fun! I can't wait for class to start again after the holidays.

“A brilliant teacher

 

Virginia is a brilliant teacher. The lessons were always well paced, interesting and carefully targeted at my level. She has a library of suitable material: exercises, games, stories and video clips which she could draw on.  She was also able to recommend good books and websites for me to work on out of class.  I was happy with the progress I made with her help.
