This face-to-face course will run in Ainsdale
This course is suitable for people who can handle simple situations, have basic conversations about themselves, and find out information from others. You may have already learned the past or future tenses but this course is an opportunity to consolidate some of the trickier aspects of Spanish that you might have come across, including some confusing verbs in the present tense, por and para, and ser and estar. By the end of the course you will be able to:
There are no exams and there is no compulsory homework for this course. We focus on communication, not perfection!
The course will start on Tuesday 28th September 2026 and run for 9 more weeks with a break for half term (20th October). The course costs £170 for 10 x 75 min lessons. I kindly ask that full fees are paid before the first class of the term.
Hola ! Ciao !
My name is Patricia and I was born in Milano, Italy, and am proudly bilingual in English and Italian and I studied Spanish at an advanced level in Malaga, Spain. My lifelong passion for languages and communication has shaped both my personal journey and professional career.
Widely published I hold a Doctorate in Education from the University of Sheffield and have a strong background in teaching and educational research. I began my career as an Infant teacher before becoming a University Senior Lecturer , working with both undergraduate and postgraduate students in the field of education.
My interest in language acquisition and bilingualism runs deep. I believe that learning another language is far more than acquiring a new skill; it's a way to expand how we think, connect and engage with the world.
As an experienced educator, I deliver engaging and accessible lessons in Italian and Spanish, helping adult learners of all ages build confidence, enjoyment and lasting language skills.
I am looking forward to sharing my love of languages and my cultural experiences with whomever wants to learn Spanish or Italian at their own pace in a relaxing and enjoyable environment.
