Our Student Reviews

"Ana is generous with her time, so encouraging and so passionate about what she does. Outside of the classes, she has created a welcoming, warm community from all of their classes. We meet up in a local pub to practise Spanish. I would not hesitate to recommend her and feel lucky to have found her and the lovely community she has created. Muchas gracias."

"I enjoyed studying Spanish with our teacher Ana, she is good fun, we always have a laugh. I have met lots of local people that I wouldn't have the chance to meet otherwise. If you are looking to get into Spanish, great place to start."

Nat Tsolak

"I cannot recommend Ana highly enough! I joined her classes last September after a long break from doing any Spanish and Ana has renewed my love for it - she is a very good teacher with an eye for detail and is very thorough in explaining grammar. In these extraordinary times the Zoom Spanish lessons work very well and I look forward to my Friday afternoons! One of the best Spanish teachers in North London. Believe me, I know, as it took me a while to find them and what a great find. "

Elizabeth Nichols

"I took private Spanish lessons with Ana in order to improve my speaking. Ana was always well prepared and the lessons were tailored to my needs. She even insisted on giving me a free lesson for free when a previous one had some unforeseen interruptions, which I thought was lovely. Highly recommended!"

Siobhan

"I am really enjoying my lessons with Ana who makes the classes both fun and very imformative. The class size is just right gracias."

Deborah Mulroy.

"Very helpful small-group teaching. A good mixture of reading aloud, conversation (pitched at an appropriate level for the group), writing, listening exercises and plenty of homework. Ana is an energetic , enthusiastic and patient teacher. I would recommend to anyone wanting to start or improve their Spanish."

Chris Baynes

"I started to learn Spanish in September 2018. Learning Spanish has been always fun. My teacher Ana is a very nice person and each class is full of jokes and fun. She always explains very clearly and gives me strong motivation to learn more Spanish. I am very happy that the course found me!!!"

Agnes Cevere

"This is just the type of class I was looking for. It's fun and relaxed. The classes are not held in classrooms and the groups are very small so learning does not feel like a chore. The atmosphere is informal but teaching is professional and our lovely teacher, Ana, is really encouraging. I'm very happy to be learning the type of Spanish that would actually be useful travelling or living in a Spanish speaking country. There is a good balance of spoken and written Spanish. I had thought I wanted to do only conversation but find the written is a really good way of learning phrases for conversation too. I was a bit worried I would be nervous about trying to speak in Spanish in the class and getting it all wrong but the atmosphere is so non-judgmental, it's fun just having a go and doesn't matter at all about mistakes. After only a term and a bit I have learnt a lot. Thank you, Ana."

Juliette Banner

"I had no confidence at all in speaking Spanish but now with the help of Ana I have really made a difference. I'm far from fluent yet but getting there. The group sessions are fun and you meet some really nice people too! A much better and fun way to learn a language than a classroom environment. I am so glad I took the first step and look forward to my Monday sessions."

Rhonda Nunan

Maria Polaine Gelei

"Hi! Thank you so much for the academy, for the amazing Spanish group course held by Ana. I am enjoying it very much: it is dynamic and very detailed for me to understand the levels and bases of the Spanish language. Also, million thanks for the English improvement in my private lessons, highly recommend it. Looking forward to the next class!"

Andrea Szakacs

"I would like to thank Ana for her dedication, hard work and passion she puts into our classes. I am a student both of her Spanish group as well as for private lessons. Ana always finds a way to uniquely create the lessons and the approach of teaching crafted and engaging classes for each individual. She’s creative, her hours are motivating and they always fly by in a moment because of the deep content of it. I highly recommend her lessons to anyone who is thinking to learn a new language, has an interest in the passionate wonderful language of Spanish. Un millón de gracias!"

Erik Peto

"Ana has been a teacher for many years. I worked with Ana while she was a GCSE and A-Level Spanish teacher. I loved being in her lessons and observing her passion for teaching languages and transferring that passion to anyone in her classroom. The lessons were always fun, filled with lots of talking and interesting ways to acquire the language. She made every student feel like they mattered, and supported them, regardless of their Spanish speaking ability."

Alanna O’ Garro

"I’ve been attending Ana’s Spanish classes for a year now and I love the way she teaches and interacts with the students. Classes are small and tailored to the students' needs .We like to make good progress, so Ana sends lots of videos and homework to supplement her lessons. On top of lessons the Academy is offering regular social events, which are very nice if you like to meet other Spanish students or native speakers. Overall, a fabulous academy to either learn or brush up on your Spanish language skills."

Thamara Freeman

"The classes are very small and tailored to the level and abilities of the students; it nearly feels as to have a one-2-one with the teacher. The term lay cost of the course is extremely competitive and exceptionally good value for money. The teachers are mother-tongue (obviously!) and their teaching style/approach is friendly and professional - totally students orientated. I am thoroughly enjoying learning Spanish."

Daniela Jones

"I really enjoy my Spanish lessons with Ana, she is passionate about her job. The lessons are fun, constructive. Ana explains very clearly and makes sure everyone understands, each week she sends videos related to our lessons which I find extremely useful. We talk a lot which is what you need to learn a language !! I highly recommend this academy"

Nathalie Howell

"FANTASTIC from knowing nothing in Spanish, it feels like we have come a long way with Ana. She's a great teacher with a lot passion, the sessions were always interesting as she was very funny and has lots of energy. She went the extra bit with helping with our travels to South America, not just with the language but with contacts while we are there. I would recommend her to any one who wants to learn Spanish 10/10."

Lewis Davin

"HIGHLY RECOMMEND 10/10 I visit Spain on business and communicate with customers by telephone and email regularly. Even though I could speak some Spanish, when it came to communicating with customers in business related terms, my Spanish was limited. Ana has been fantastic; she tailored a business course I needed to assist my customers professionally. On my recent visits to both Barcelona and Madrid this proved to be a huge success. I highly recommend Ana to anyone who would like to learn Spanish whether you are a beginner or need a tailor-made course specific to your requirements."

Fran Bardhi

"Ana is a fantastic teacher. Lessons are always fun and I'm amazed at how much we've learnt in a relatively short time. The regular social events are a great way to meet students from other classes and practise a bit of Spanish. Highly recommend!"

Suzanne Cullen

"Ana is an excellent teacher and really cares about her students. I had group lessons for a few months until work commitments got in the way. I would highly recommend her academy."

Sam Flack Omand

"The Spanish classes are great, very professional yet informal and puts you at ease. Ana is a fantastic teacher and is very engaging with her students. Can't wait to learn more!"

Natalie Salem

"I had a wonderful time attending Beginners 2 Spanish classes with Ana. My teacher was not only encouraging but she made sure we all had fun as well as keeping it very interactive. Our homework was always structured around our lessons and was always checked prior to attending the next class, with good level of criticism and how we can improve."

Azalia Jahani

"I love my Spanish lessons with Ana. I only started in September but, thanks to Ana, have made great progress. Her teaching style is great (I'm a teacher so a bit fussy) and she really adapts to meet the needs and strengths of those in her class. I really look forward to Fridays and my Spanish lesson and I'd highly recommend it to anyone interested in learning Spanish in a small but engaged group."

Sophie Mercado

"I cannot recommend learning Spanish enough. The classes are great fun and I am amazed at how much we are able to learn. Ana has a warm and friendly energy which makes the classes relaxed and very enjoyable. I am so pleased with how much I am learning and the great vibes of the class. Ana puts a great deal of time into teaching us, even when we are not in class. She sends us videos during the week that will help us and is totally committed to giving us the best teaching possible. Do not hesitate to learn Spanish with Ana, you will thoroughly enjoy it and really get to grips with the language with ease. I'm so glad I started and feel I have met really wonderful people in the process too."

Leah Christodoulou

"I have really enjoyed my weekly Spanish lessons with Ana. She has a relaxed and informative way of teaching which has been ideal for me and makes learning another lauguage fun and engaging. She manages to cover a lot in one hour yet the lessons never feel rushed or monotonous. We have fun, we chat and we learn. I would definitely recommend Language Connections to anyone who wishes to learn Spanish in a laid back, casual environment where you are encouraged to have a go and aren't made to feel foolish when you get things wrong!"

Sonia Whitehouse

"I completed the beginners 1 course with Ana, she was such an enthusiastic and encouraging teacher. Lessons are very well planned and conversation-based tasks meant we learnt quickly. I really enjoyed spending time with like-minded people and learning a brand-new language. Learning a new skill as well as meeting new people in London meant this was such a worthwhile experience for me. THANKS."

Jenni O’Dwyer

"A very high standard of teaching, brilliantly paced, at the same time friendly and enjoyable."

Linda Mill

"I have taken Spanish lessons with Ana. She is a fabulous teacher. Lessons were fun and well structured. I have enjoyed learning Spanish with them. I would highly recommend her classes for private or group lessons."

Viktorjia Kirjanova

"I started learning with Ana in Sept 2018. As a complete beginner she completely put me at ease! Her lovely, kind and patient manner is such a great advantage and she encourages all her students to give it a go and be brave when speaking. The classes are well structured with an accompanying text book and a clear topic for each week. Supportive videos and homework related to the topic from that day's lesson sent via our class's WhatsApp group. Ana explains things very clearly and has helped me build up my confidence to converse in Spanish. She is an excellent and very experienced teacher and also great fun! She makes an effort to arrange social events each term to get their students together around a Spanish theme. I highly recommend Language Connections Academy."
