Portuguese - Beginner

“ A friendly, relaxed and very supportive way to get to grips with the language. The lessons strike a lovely balance between having fun and learning “

"Alejandra is a wonderful teacher of Spanish. Her language skills and willingness to help her students develop a deep understanding of the language are incredible. These are matched by her friendliness, her charm and her passion. Whatever your Spanish speaking goals, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Ale."

The lessons are always varied, engaging and lively. We discuss a wide range of topics as well as focusing in on points of grammar and accuracy. I like the way that anything can be brought to or brought up in class and used to develop our learning. I enjoy the range of activities and tasks and the friendly atmosphere in class. The links and resources that we use in class or receive via email are wide ranging and interesting; they have developed my knowledge and appreciation of Spanish speaking countries and their cultures as well as the language itself. I look forward to my lesson each week and always leave feeling like I have made progress, used my brain and enjoyed myself. I highly recommend Ale's Spanish lessons.

"I've been studying Spanish for nearly four years and this is the class that has stuck for me! Ale's classes are always informative, fun, easy to follow and exactly paced to include all members of the group. Her classes are small and it doesn't feel like we're in a classroom. She actively engages her students outside the classroom and organises social evenings and events, based around Spanish learning, such as films, evenings out at Spanish restaurants. I would highly recommend Ale's class if your want to learn Spanish for fun, for work or for additional learning for school or college. Her methods really work and she has a great sense of humour" "Can't thank you enough for your great classes - you've made the difference for me, because you make me speak the language!"

My previous Spanish classes? Too much laptop and not enough speaking and I found I wasn’t looking forward to the lessons. ‘Spanish for Fun’ is so different! Now I’m learning in a lively group of six [the perfect class size?] with Alejandra. Structured content, excellent materials and we get plenty of opportunity to practise speaking Spanish. She manages to cover even complex grammar in a non-threatening way and is alert and responsive to our individual weaknesses - always in a supportive friendly manner. Homework? Optional. An enjoyable no-pressure way of learning Spanish!

Thanks for being such a brilliant teacher - your class is a highlight of my week.

I’ve been having Spanish lessons with Ale for about three years now and cannot recommend them enough. Ale is so warm and friendly that I felt welcomed and at ease from my first class. She has a number of different classes for different levels and is flexible to help find an option that works for you. She has a natural enthusiasm for giving the classes and you can tell she genuinely loves helping people learn in a friendly and fun environment. There have also been a number of social events to add to the experience and meet other students. I would highly recommend for anyone in the area thinking about learning Spanish.

Ale is a lovely, encouraging teacher; her classes are fun and stimulating and I recommend her for students of every level.

A fun, relaxed learning environment where the time flies. Ale projects a real you can do this attitude.
