Harriet has been an amazing Spanish…

Harriet has been an amazing Spanish teacher for my daughter. She has always gone above and beyond, giving her time and support not only for written exams, but also for reading, listening, speaking exams. She has helped with mock speaking exams and guided her throughout the whole preparation process with such dedication and encouragement.

Because of Harriet’s hard work and support, it now seems that my daughter is set to achieve a Grade 9 in her GCSE Spanish. We truly appreciate everything Harriet has done.

Thank you so much, Harriet.

Level 1 Spanish experience

I’ve just finished level 1 Spanish with Harriet. I was nervous to start learning as an adult but Harriet made the course so much fun. I’ve loved that I wasn’t just taught Spanish but also, writing, reading and culture. Will absolutely continue learning with the Spanish academy.

My daughter Dania often doesn't find it easy to work with tutors but she has found her experience with Harriet very warm, welcoming and helpful. She appreciates lessons and is finding them very helpful for the IGCSE Spanish exam.
I would definitely recommend

I thoroughly enjoy learning Spanish with Harriet. The lessons are fun and well planned, there is lots of discussion and opportunities to ask questions . Lots of content and homework ( if you wish to do it) to reinforce the learning 😊. Absolutely recommend✔️

Highly recommend, excellent service

My child has been learning with Hattie for a few years and has truly benefited from her patience and expertise. We’ve seen a real boost in confidence and enjoyment of learning. My child even used the tips provided when on holiday in Spain! The only reason we’re pausing tuition is due to a busy after-school schedule, but we definitely hope to be back when it’s time for GCSE revision. Hattie provides high-quality tutoring that is worth every penny, and she makes learning an enjoyable experience. We couldn’t be happier, thank you!

Excellent teacher ❤️

Decided to learn Spanish as we’re hoping to retire there and I’m so glad a did. Harriet is an amazing tutor. She is so patient with us older people and gives you so much encouragement all the time, even when we are unsure. I’m only in to my second week but absolutely loving it.

Great Teacher

Hattie is a great teacher, she is very experienced and knowledgeable, she is also very patient and supportive with my teenage son.
From a parent point of view Hattie also communicates very well, providing feedback and updates on progress. Would highly recommend 👌

If you want to learn a language, trust Harriet

Harriet is a very good and patient tutor. Each lesson is reviewed and in a short time you have vocabulary that you can start to put together into meaningful sentences. I am enjoying the course, so much so that I have signed up for the next level. Harriet gives me the confidence to overcome my reticence to ‘have a go’.

Good teacher 👍🏻

My daughter enjoys Miss Harriett’s class very much which she is now more confident in class. She had Spanish lesson in her primary school from year 4-6, and she said what she learnt from Miss Harriet in a month was way more than what she learnt in the last 3 years.

And from a mom’s standpoint, I find Miss Harriett very supportive and patience (as I am a busy working mom which often missed WhatsApp).

Big thumbs up for you !

Harriet is a very experienced teacher and has created a fantastic learning environment for our group. Lessons are always fun but ultimately, we are learning to speak authentic Spanish. Our group of four highly reccomend The Spanish Academy and look forward to booking the follow on course! Gracias.

Excellent Spanish lessons with Harriet

I started learning Spanish with Harriet last September and am now on course number 4. I absolutely love each lesson, and look forward to the next. They are challenging (in a good way) and easy to follow. Harriet is a very patient teacher and extremely knowledgeable and also a very lovely person. I would recommend Harriet’s classes to all, you will be made to feel very welcome.
