“Hello! My name is Adam and I have been Raquel’s student and I have only good words to say about her classes. In other classes I learned Spanish by doing more grammar and exercises, but I was afraid of speaking in a conversation and making mistakes. With Raquel, my level of Spanish has improved a lot thanks to her conversation-focused and dynamic classes. Raquel made me feel much more comfortable speaking Spanish and I gained a lot of confidence and self-assurance. I also understood the grammar much better, as we practised it in context. I would especially like to mention that she is a teacher who really cares about the student. She always asked me how I felt about the content of the lessons and adapted it to my specific needs. She creates the best environment for learning and this is what makes her special and so unique. So if you want to improve your Spanish look no further, I can assure you that with Raquel you will achieve your goals and lose the fear of speaking.”

En otras clases aprendía español haciendo más gramática y ejercicios, pero a mi me daba miedo hablar en una conversación y hacer errores.

Raquel me hizo sentirme mucho más cómodo hablando en español y gané mucha confianza y seguridad. También entendí mucho mejor la gramática, ya que la practicábamos en contexto. Me gustaría mencionar especialmente que es una profesora que se preocupa realmente por el alumno. Siempre me preguntaba como me sentía con el contenido de las clases y lo adaptaba a mis necesidades específicas. Ella crea el mejor ambiente para aprender y esto es lo que la hace especial y tan única. Así que si quieres mejorar tu español no busques más, te puedo asegurar que con Raquel lograrás tus objetivos y perderás el miedo a hablar.”

“Hello! My name is Ciara and I have been Raquel’s student. In 3 months I have improved more than in an entire year with my previous lessons. I wanted to improve my Spanish because I was working with companies in South America and I felt that I couldn’t communicate well with them. With Raquel my Spanish improved significantly. I discovered fascinating things about the hispanic culture and I gained a lot of fluency in Spanish. Now I can express myself with much more confidence and self-assurance. Also, I don’t worry so much about making mistakes and people tell me that I have improved a lot. Grammar has always been more difficult for me and Raquel helped me to understand it by practicing it in conversation and with real examples. Her classes were always super fun and varied. We had a great time. Raquel is a super fun and enthusiastic person. You will never get bored with her. I recommend her classes without any doubt.”

Con Raquel mi español mejoró significativamente, gané mucha fluidez en español y ahora puedo expresarme con mucha más confianza y seguridad. Además, ya no me preocupo tanto de si cometo errores y la gente me dice que he mejorado mucho. La gramática siempre ha sido más difícil para mi y Raquel me ayudó a entenderla practicándola en conversación y con ejemplos reales. Sus clases siempre fueron super divertidas y variadas. Nos lo pasamos muy bien. Raquel es una persona súper divertida y entusiasta. No te aburrirás nunca con ella. Te recomiendo sus clases sin ninguna duda.”

“Hello, my name is Philip and I am from England. Raquel was my teacher for a year and she helped me a lot with the more difficult parts of the grammar of the language, but also with the more conversational Spanish, idioms, and expressing myself the way native speakers express themselves. I have been able to use the knowledge and skills from her classes in the real world speaking with native people and I am very grateful to have had her as a teacher. Raquel is fantastic. She brings a lot of energy to her classes, and has a lot of patience and experience. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who wants to see real changes in their Spanish learning.”
“Hola! Me llamo Philip y soy de Inglaterra. Raquel fue mi profesora durante un año y me ayudó mucho con las partes más difíciles de la gramática del idioma, pero también con el español más conversacional, las frases hechas, y expresarse como se expresan los nativos. He podido utilizar los conocimientos y habilidades de sus clases en el mundo real hablando con gente nativa y estoy muy agradecido de haberla tenido como profesora. Raquel es fantástica. Aporta mucha energía a sus clases, y tiene mucha paciencia y experiencia. La recomendaría sin duda a cualquiera que quiera notar cambios reales en su aprendizaje del español.”

Raquel taught me Spanish at International House, Newcastle in 2019. I had just moved back from Sevilla and wanted to keep on top of my Spanish – she was amazing with helping me to do so! She provided lots of interesting activities and learning exercises for individual and group scenarios. I learnt a lot, not only about the language, but also about Spanish & Latino cultures as well which was really interesting. There was never a dull moment, she is an amazing teacher who I highly recommend. ¡Gracias por enseñarme!

I was really pleased having Raquel as my teacher, I was with her for about a year. We did mainly oral classes and she corrected me at almost every mistake I made which was really useful and necessary. She also taught me many aspects of the grammar that I could include in my Spanish conversations. Furthermore, I learnt a lot of slang and expressions which was really useful for when I moved to Spain. I would recommend her to anyone! I can now talk about many topics and I no longer feel stuck or nervous about talking Spanish. I found the classes very amusing, completely personalized and full of interesting and relevant topics. It is important to me that we talk a lot about everyday things and situations. I could see my progress every week and my Spanish friends notice it too. Thank you Raquel

Raquel was my Spanish teacher and her classes were definitely the best. She was very encouraging and friendly, and it was very helpful to learn conversational and real Spanish, rather than just learning textbook Spanish. She was a fantastic teacher and I would recommend her to anyone!

«I have studied Spanish before and my knowledge of Spanish was very passive, I was not feeling confident enough to speak, to use it. But now with Raquel the main focus is speaking. I feel like I finally get to use my knowledge from before in practice.»

Raquel taught me Spanish for 2 years and she was a great teacher! My Spanish improved a lot and I gained a lot of confidence to speak the language. She corrected mistakes I made and encouraged me to improve and use different verb tenses or more complex vocabulary that I hadn’t used before.

Raquel is a wonderful, fun and energetic teacher. Each lesson was well thought through, entertaining and importantly provided all you’d need to learn a language. Grammar, lots of spoken practice and even a bit of colloquial Spanish for good measure 
Hoy en día trabajo en México produciendo vinos en Jalisco, sin las clases con Raquel no podría sobrevivir aquí 
también ahora tengo muchos más amigos que son hispanohablantes entonces ambos mi vida professional y personal han sido mejorados
