Spanish - Improver
This course is ideal for:
This is not a Beginners class, it is an Improvers, so if you have been learning Spanish ie you did a GCSE a while ago, or you can converse in Spanish when you go on holiday – or it’s a good class to join if you have completed the “Y tu” Improvers class.
This is a new course called A-D. It is made of 5 main chapters, each chapter takes two lessons to complete, this is normal, it’s good because it takes time to “sink in” and also you are learning in depth and not changing every week.
In this course, you become more familiar with reading a short text in Spanish, you will brush up on your grammar a little, but you will speak about day-to-day topics which come up in conversation and are useful to know. With this course, you will progress because you will have access to an online learning platform – so you can revise what you have previously been studying before going to class, and your teacher will usually tell you what you should be looking at for the week to come, so you are prepared and can maximise your speaking time in class.

Bonjour/Ciao/¡Hola! I’m French-Italian and I speak Spanish. Growing up on the French Riviera near Italy sparked my love for languages. I studied Music and Languages then moved to the UK for 9 months, and several decades later, I'm still here!
After successfully using my languages in Banking and IT, I became a language teacher and have been teaching for the past 20+ years. I am cheerful, patient and enthusiastic. I am good at helping people of all levels overcome their fear of speaking a foreign language, focusing on building confidence and having fun.
Holidays are spent in France, Italy or Spain with my husband and our two boys, who are brought up bilingually in French but are also learning Spanish and Italian.
I sing in my spare time, walk the dog, look after friends' dogs and grow plants, usually fruit and veg. I love foraging so my children are used to eating "spinach" of dubious provenance. I also teach GCSE and A Level to whomever needs a boost with their exams.
