Customer Testimonials

The list below includes testimonials from loyal students.

I can't recommend Lourdes highly enough for anyone wanting to learn Spanish from scratch or become fluent. From the very first lesson, Lourdes created such a welcoming and encouraging environment that made the entire learning experience really enjoyable- it was a safe space that allowed me to build confidence in my speaking, vocabulary and grammar and she has an incredible ability to explain even some of the most challenging concepts (ahhh subjunctives) in a highly digestible way.
What truly sets Lourdes apart is how she is genuinely invested in her students- she's patient, knowledgeable, highly organised and tailors the lessons to her students' goals and learning styles. I always looked forward to every lesson and am grateful for everything I learned. I have no doubt that anyone who has the pleasure of learning with Lourdes with have an equally fantastic experience in their Spanish speaking journey- she will get you there!

I have been learning Spanish with Lourdes for several years, and I can honestly say she is an exceptional teacher. Her patience, encouragement, and genuine passion for teaching have made every lesson enjoyable and rewarding.

Lourdes has an incredible ability to explain even the most difficult grammar concepts in a way that is easy to understand. She creates a relaxed and supportive environment where making mistakes is simply part of the learning process, which has given me the confidence to speak Spanish without fear.

What sets Lourdes apart is how much she genuinely cares about her students. She tailors her lessons to suit individual learning styles and always goes the extra mile to keep classes interesting, practical, and fun. Her enthusiasm is contagious, and she celebrates every milestone with her students.

Thanks to Lourdes, my Spanish has improved far beyond what I ever thought possible. I now feel confident having conversations, understanding native speakers, and continuing to build my skills. I look forward to every lesson.

If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, patient, and inspiring Spanish teacher, I recommend Lourdes without hesitation. Learning with her has been one of the best educational decisions I’ve ever made.

Hi Lourdes,

Thank you for the marvellous book.

After coming back from my trip to Spain I just want to tell you how much I appreciated not only my Spanish for Travellers class with you but the book you had written.  It was of great assistance. Because it was easy to follow and find what I needed quickly, I could use it in all sorts of situations.  Travelling alone for a lot of the time it gave me confidence to tackle things I would not otherwise have done.  I could order a meal etc. ask for what I needed, get directions (yes I got lost and not all policemen speak English). Being able to understand signs was a great help too.

 I am now pumped to continue my Spanish study.

 Thanks Gayle Ingraham

 Hola Lourdes,

I thoroughly enjoyed 'Spanish for Travellers' course as it gave me an excellent understanding of  grammar/ pronunciation and an ability to read Spanish. I have a good vocabulary and have learnt to construct simple sentences which will be useful for my trip to Spain in June. I am very glad I completed the course which will  give me  more confidence when travelling. Well worth undertaking this course. 
I love your book. It has everything that a traveller would need to learn in Spanish. Its size is perfect - small and light.

Chau,

Hi Lourdes, 

Thanks for the Spanish lessons - you are a wonderful teacher! Your book was a great tool to take with me on my holidays.

The Spanish for Travellers Book is an easy to follow guide which can be utilised simply when travelling throughout Spanish speaking countries. The content is easily accessible as it is broken up into very useful categories, and is small enough that it can be carried in your hand luggage for easy access. The pictures make it a lovely book to keep on the coffee table when not travelling!

Kind Regards,
