Real stories, real success
Alba is very warm, encouraging and supportive. She offered a good level of support and challenge by speaking mostly in Spanish to challenge my listening and speaking. She made it very easy and approachable to use new vocabulary. Her classes were a friendly and non intimidating environment where I could practice speaking and listening. That was very important to keep improving my Spanish! Also, the online sessions helped my understanding of Spanish culture and language specific to Spain. I highly recommend Alba’s teaching. She is a great teacher, and made the classes very comfortable. She also shared a lot of great resources before and after our classes which I found very helpful. Often very tailored to me as a student and my personal interests which was a really nice touch.

I think the best attribute of Alba as a teacher is her attitude: she is really understanding and non-judgemental. On top of that, she is very knowledgeable and puts a lot of work into finding appropriate additional material. Probably the main benefit of the online sessions with Alba was understanding concepts that aren’t really explained in the course or are difficult to understand. And, of course, the tutoring sessions were a great help with conversations. She helped me feel more comfortable with basic conversation. I definitely recommend her classes as Alba is very knowledgeable and I don’t feel judged by my lack of Spanish skills.

Alba is a very patient and enthusiastic teacher, who was happy to focus on what I wanted to get out of the sessions with her - whether that was grammar, pronunciation or information about Spain - which I really appreciated. She also went above and beyond with the additional resources provided after each session, tailoring the information to what we discussed during the lesson or providing information that extended beyond the course content. The extra material provided has helped me set up a foundation for continuing learning Spanish beyond the course. Also Alba's local knowledge of Madrid and Spain were also really helpful for getting to know a bit about the different places, neighbourhoods, things to do and so on.

Alba is such a legend! She works hard to make the lessons easy and adapt to everyone’s needs. All in all really helpful, calm, and so easygoing, so I felt not forced if I made a mistake. Really, really friendly! The best thing about this course is that I was able to complete it at a time that is suited to my lifestyle. It was a fun interactive online coursework and an easy environment to learn. The sessions with Alba helped me through and now I am still using Spanish watching tv shows etc. She really takes the time to understand each person and remember them especially in my case anyway. She learns your style of learning quickly and helps you in a way that you’d learn. She makes everything easy and you are not overwhelmed. I recommend Alba’s classes 100%
Nicholas FayBEGINNER
After my classes with Alba, I feel very excited to learn more and be able to speak more fluently. She is a wonderful tutor, she has been accommodating and helpful in her teachings and has good extra materials of her own to make the journey easier. Her teachings are very helpful with explaining certain concepts which are difficult to understand on screen.

Alba is a good teacher and is patient with people, but she also wants you to understand and succeed, so she is able to challenge you in a good way. She is professional, polite, patient… She is a great teacher and a genuinely nice person. Anytime the classes with Alba were over, I wanted more, I wanted to continue as it was a good experience. I enjoyed learning the language and wanted to know more.

Before I embarked on my journey with Alba, I understood very little and could say even less. With her organic teaching style and ability to explain things clearly, I became more comfortable trying to speak Spanish. We would discuss everyday life, and she seamlessly incorporated new vocabulary and verbs into our conversations, making the learning experience relevant and engaging. She is a wonderful teacher.
Jeremy Benson
Jeremy BensonBEGINNER
Alba is definitely a great tutor and easily contactable.. She is patient, accommodating and has good communication skills. I feel like I'm learning and gaining more knowledge about Spanish. Every session was like an eye-opener for me. After having a class with Alba, everything makes so much more sense. The classes are very worthwhile. They give you the time and space to communicate and ask questions that you're not sure of, so you get clarity on most sessions. Alba’s classes helped a lot. It's always so much more effective when you're talking to someone about Spanish as well as doing activities etc. It comes hand in hand. The online classes and the provided extra material are a must.
Kate BlackhallBEGINNER
Alba is great. She is clearly experienced at teaching Spanish and has a surprisingly good appreciation for the struggles an English speaker can have when learning Spanish. I particularly appreciated how she could explain the meaning of Spanish words I didn't know, in Spanish, which made me both more confident in my ability and helped me in my listening skills.
Louise Chan
Louise ChanBEGINNER
I love how Alba writes a lot of sentences throughout our conversations as I can always go back to them. She explains clearly why things are the way they are, and if you do something incorrectly she will help you understand how to correct it. She is a great teacher and I couldn't recommend her more highly. She clearly cares about her students and wants them to learn. Alba is fantastic.

Alba es increíblemente paciente, tiene un gran sentido del humor y puede conectarse en muchos niveles diferentes. Supo sacar lo mejor de mí y darme confianza para hablar sin dudar de mí mismo. Las clases con Alba no solo me han dado mayor confianza, sino también una excelente dicción, una organización notable al agregar nuevos niveles, vocabulario y habilidades a mi aprendizaje. Es una profesora maravillosa.
