Group Classes & Short Courses

New for 2024: Online group classes via Zoom!

10-week short courses

These short-courses are designed to provide a snapshot into the key areas of the language for a variety of levels. Designed to be self-contained; you will not be required to purchase textbooks or extra materials; everything you need will be provided, including access to my online learning materials.

Each learner is entitled to a free 15-minute introduction session on Zoom so that we can get to know each other and assess your current level. I will also talk you through the controls on Zoom if you are not familiar with how to use it. You can book your free introduction session here.

Each course is comprised of 10 x 1 hour sessions. The groups will contain approximately 4-8 students and are designed to encourage learners to strengthen their speaking skills in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere & learn language skills in a social environment. If you miss a session, it may be possible to join another class running the same session at another time that week, or you can request receiving the learning materials via email.

When a 10-week course finishes, you can simply choose to join the next level course, until you reach a level where you can join our conversation classes.

You may also like to consider a blended learning approach; group classes are friendlier for your budget than private one-to-one tuition, but top up any time with one of my private lessons to consolidate your learning, ask further questions, revisiting themes or investigate a topic of particular interest to you that may not be covered in the short course.

Conversation Classes

Our conversation classes are designed as weekly sessions where intermediate & advanced learners can come together to discuss a range of topics in order to practise speaing & listening skills with the main aim of improving conversational fluency.

How do I know what level I am?

It is of course of utmost importance to ensure that you are placed in the correct group; you want to be challenged, but not feeling out of your depth!

You can read our basic guidelines to help you enquire for the right class and establish your approximate level, but if you have any doubt, please contact me and I will help you to assess your level. Discover your Spanish level here or your French level here.

If you wish to understand your level in a more detailed way, I recommend reading the CEFR guidelines, which are used throughout Europe to assess language levels. You can access those here on the Council of Europe website.
