Learn Spanish
A journey for curious adults
Join me and learn conversational Spanish while travelling imaginatively on a journey to Spain, Mexico, Argentina, Peru, Cuba and beyond!
Discover fascinating people, places and cultures in a 10-hour course over 8 weeks.
Friendly, interactive classes where having fun is just as important as learning.
Perfect for adults who want to travel, keep learning, meet like-minded people and gain confidence using Spanish.
Course fee: £150 for a 10-hour course, including all learning materials in digital format.
Materials will be available digitally. Participants may print them at home if they wish, although this is not essential. If you would prefer printed copies, I can provide these for an additional charge of £5 for the duration of the course to cover printing and preparation.
Learn with me
I have also worked as an assessor for Cambridge IGCSE Spanish through Cambridge Assessment International Education and have extensive experience in training language teachers and teacher trainers internationally.
My academic work informs my approach to teaching and my heart lies in the classroom. I am passionate about translating research into engaging learning experiences.
I am a native Spanish speaker and a highly experienced language and intercultural education specialist, with over 40 years of language teaching experience.
At the University of East Anglia (UEA), I taught Spanish at degree level, supporting students at all stages of language proficiency, from A1 (complete beginner) to C2 (proficient user).
During my career at UEA, I also held leadership roles in study and work abroad programmes, working closely with institutions, colleagues and students across different regions of Spain and Latin America.
I taught evening Spanish classes for members of the local community through UEA and Norfolk County Council.
Spanish for Beginners & Refreshers
Whether you are a complete beginner, learnt some Spanish years ago and would like to pick it up again, or have studied more recently and want to refresh your knowledge, this course is for you.
Our imaginative journey through the Spanish-speaking world means that we will encounter vocabulary linked to different places, people and cultures.
Complete beginners will learn new words and expressions from the very start, while those who have studied Spanish before will have opportunities to revisit familiar language and consolidate their knowledge.
Whatever your starting point, I will support you in building confidence and making progress.
Conversational Spanish classes
My classes are designed for adults who would like to learn conversational Spanish in a friendly, supportive environment.
Together, we travel imaginatively across the Spanish-speaking world, meeting people, exploring cultures and learning practical language for real-life situations.
In my classes, curiosity, communication and enjoyment are at the heart of learning. From your very first class, you will be speaking Spanish, building confidence step by step in a friendly, supportive environment.
The emphasis is on enjoying the language rather than getting everything perfect!
Whether you are planning a holiday, looking for a new challenge or simply enjoy learning, Spanish offers a rewarding way to stay curious, connected and engaged.

Learning materials
There is no need to buy a coursebook!
I create all course materials myself, drawing on current research and my many years of experience in language education.
I aim to avoid unnecessary printing. Where printed materials are essential to an activity, I will provide them.
You will be able to download the materials and access them on your phone, tablet or computer, so you can revisit them whenever you wish or print them out if you prefer. Alternatively, I can provide printed copies for an additional charge of £5 for the duration of the course to cover printing and preparation.
You are welcome to bring a laptop or tablet to class if you wish, but this is entirely optional. You do not need to own or bring a digital device to take part in the course.
If you miss a class, you will continue to have access to the digital learning materials. If you have opted for printed materials, I can provide these either at the class before, if you know in advance that you will be absent, or at the next class you attend.
Where the same session is available at an alternative venue, and if space permits, I may also be able to offer attendance there instead.
Beyond the classroom
As an optional extension of the course, you will have opportunities to connect with one another, share experiences, explore the Spanish-speaking world with curiosity and continue conversations about language, culture and travel beyond our weekly sessions.
I will also suggest ideas for activities you can try between classes to practise your Spanish. These are invitations to keep learning at your own pace, not compulsory homework!
Optional social activities may also be offered during the course. More details will follow.
