Learn Spanish you will use! Private lessons with a native teacher. 13 years experience.

Whatever level of Spanish you are working at I can highly recommend Alicia. Her classes are always well prepared and she will adapt them to suit your preferences whether that is preparing for an exam or, like me, you just want to improve your Spanish conversation skills.

I have been learning Spanish with Alicia for 4 years now and I have improved a lot since I first started. I had some Spanish before, but it was fairly limited. I can now hold a reasonable, intermediate level conversation!
I find Alicia a great teacher; lessons are relaxed and if I haven't found time to do my homework, there's no retribution, although it is best if you do!
Alicia prepares a mixture of activities for lessons. The focus is generally on conversation, but it is structured around a topic and we do listening and reading exercises as part of working through the topic.

Originally, I wanted to learn Spanish for travel, and I will still use it in Spanish speaking countries, but my lessons have also become a hobby that I simply enjoy and they help me switch off from work and other things!

I can recommend Alicia to those who are new to Spanish language as well as those who already have previous knowledge. She provides prepared and tailored classes and always finds interesting language facts!

Puedo recomendar Alicia a personas de nivel del idioma básico a más alto. Ella ofrece clases preparadas con antelcación teniendo en cuenta tus necesidades. También comparte cosas interesantes sobre lengua española!

I will do this in English to ensure i get my points across correctly .
I would thoroughly recommend Alicia for anyone wanting to improve their Spanish irrespective of what level they are at .
Alicia is very good at tailoring her lessons to whatever standard you are at .
I found that her lessons inspired me to also look at other ways of learning more by listening to podcasts in Spanish and reading blogs in Spanish which helped me learn more in my lessons with Alicia .
In summary ... Una gran maestra !

I have been studying Spanish via private classes for about 5.5 years: the last 3.5 with Alicia.

With the approach Alicia takes, my Spanish is progressing extremely well, to the extent that I can follow many radio discussions and undertake a wide range of conversations with Spanish friends. My choice, which Alicia accommodates, is a 1 hour lesson each week via Skype. One class it is grammar and audio, and the next is a discussion; sometimes I know the subject in advance and sometimes I don’t. Alicia uses a variety of different teaching methods and is particularly good at helping understanding of a complicated subject, especially finding different ways to explain a difficult point.

She is flexible about lesson content, happy to adapt the next lesson to incorporate something I have discovered that has confused me, and is similarly flexible about lesson times when sometimes I need to change a lesson date / time at short notice. I try to do a lot of self study via podcasts and cartoons where Alicia has proved very supportive in finding me web content at the right level.

Excellent Spanish teacher, would recommend
