Glossop / Spanish

I have just completed Spanish beginners one with Steve Hodgson who has been a fantastic and inspirational teacher. It has been great hearing the back story to his Spanish learning journey and hearing his enthusiasm for the language which has really motivated me to want to learn. His warmth and humour makes learning fun with just the right amount of challenge for beginners. His ability to engage the whole class regardless of ability is exemplary. There are no stupid questions and he turns everything into a learning opportunity. There’s a good balance of learning phrases, applying them in conversation and the grammar behind them. I was so surprised by how much I learnt in a short space of time. I can’t wait to start the next stage!

I'm really enjoying French for Fun in Whitstable in a relaxed atmosphere with a friendly group.

I'm really enjoying re-learning my school girl French and having the chance to chat to others. Vicki makes it fun and I have met some new people.

After taking a few French courses over the years, it has been so enjoyable to concentrate on actually speaking French. Sophie creates a relaxed atmosphere where you are encouraged to join in a conversation and improve your vocabulary and communication skills.

I am so pleased to have found this class. It is local, friendly and fun, and the tutor makes sure we all get plenty of opportunities to practise our spoken French. It is also designed in a way that helps you to learn about French culture and way of life. I also love the fact that there are classes during the day. I can't recommend this course highly enough.

I’m really enjoying the improvers French Lessons with Stephanie Fitzsimons. Stephanie is an excellent teacher and the tempo is just right. It’s relaxed learning but we still get through a surprisingly large amount in just a one-hour lesson. We also have a few laughs and it’s a nice little group who are slowly getting to know each other. If you are hesitating – don’t – just come along!

Stephanie's French lessons are very relaxed and lots of fun. At the same time I feel that I am learning a lot and becoming more confident.

I am absolutely loving my French classes with Stephanie. They're a relaxed, informative and fun way of learning, with a delightful teacher and great classmates! Looking forward to the next course!

Have really enjoyed this first introduction to Spanish. It has been at a speed I could manage and our teacher, Moira, was patient and made the lessons fun! I might be able to understand and say a little when I spend the winter in Spain.

Something must be working as we are a very supportive group, all having fun and learning. It's all down to our teacher!
