Posted by Arrate
As a French teacher in a secondary school I was encouraged to learn spanish with a plan to teach it to Year 7 students (age 11-12) this year so finding a teacher became essential for me. Arrate was a lucky find for me! We started off with the basics and quickly built up my skills using different grammar exercises, frequent reading or writing homework tasks and regular conversation practice. After 10 months I felt much more confident and was working at a level around higher GCSE. I am so grateful for all of Arrate’s support and good advice and I am really excited about continuing and improving my spanish language skills with her.

Arrate has been teaching me Spanish for just over a year. I would like to buy a property in Spain and I felt I needed to learn the language. I always look forward to my lessons which have been both informative and very enjoyable. I certainly feel more confident to try out my Spanish when shopping for food and clothes etc.

Since taking private lessons with Arrate my spoken and written Spanish has improved enormously. Arrate encourages you to experiment with new grammar and vocabulary in order to expand your horizons and when you get it wrong she explains very clearly what the mistake are. With Arrate I have developed my confidence to speak business and informal Spanish and I thoroughly recommend her to anyone interested in learning Spanish.” Peter, final year Spanish Language student with the Open University.

I’ve really enjoyed my Spanish lessons with Arrate, it was beneficial to my travels and I would’ve been lost without it. I have been able to learn at my own pace, yet she has encouraged me to push myself and challenge me in the process, which has made me learn more than I could have wished for over the past year. The most rewarding thing for me was being able to hold conversations with people in Latin America! I would recommend Spanish Tuition to anyone who wants to learn Spanish at any level.

I took lessons with Arrate to prepare me for my GCSE Spanish exam. She is very flexible and adapted the lessons to meet my needs, cover the syllabus and maintain interest. We worked with a range of materials and it was great to be able to practise with a native speaker. I really enjoyed the tuition and it helped me to achieve excellent results in my exam, I got an A with a star. After my exams I am still taking lessons to be able to further my Spanish.

I have always been fascinated by the Spanish culture however I never had the chance to learn the Spanish language. When I started planning with my friends to go on a long trip to Latin America I decided to start taking Spanish classes. Arrate started teaching me from scratch and in less than three months, with one class per week, I was not only able to understand various Spanish conversations, but also take part in them. The approach with which Arrate teaches Spanish is particularly effective and in a short period a huge improvement can be achieved. Arrate is a highly qualified teacher who is enthusiastic, friendly and very patient which allows her students to enjoy the classes and reach their best potential.
