From Jonathan (5/5):

From Irene (5/5): I am level B1 and I started with Corina almost one year ago. My lessons are all online and my feedback is all positive.

Corina is a very professional, yet friendly teacher. She is good at adapting a lesson to your needs and has an amazing array of materials at her fingertips. I find the lessons stimulating and fun whilst at the same time she is pushing me to improve. I thoroughly recommend her.

From Gary (5/5): I have thoroughly enjoyed learning Spanish with Corina, I have found her style to be enjoyable and supportive.

As an adult learner it has been quite daunting to start to learn a language amongst a busy lifestyle. But, Corina has guided me through step-by-step and has always been on-hand to help me or if I need flexibility with my schedule.

Thank you Corina, I am looking forward to continuing to improve my language & communication skills under your tutorship.

From Julie (5/5): As a mature student Corina has been excellent at providing the pace of tuition that is right for me.Her first hand knowledge of the spanish culture is really helpful. I always enjoy our weekly session

From Jonathan (5/5): Corina is an excellent tutor. I am coming to Spanish completely fresh, as a mature student, and have 1:1 sessions. She allows me to explore the areas I am interested in, while keeping me on track to attain the foundation I need. I highly recommend her.

From Irene (5/5): Such a quick and positive response to an urgent request, helpful, friendly and resourceful , so glad I found Corina!

From Billy (5/5): Corina is absolutely fantastic. For no other reason than the fact I love Spain, I decided to finally commit to learning the language, albeit I struggled with languages at school so knew this was going to be a tough and daunting task. However, Corina teaches you in a brilliant way, she is patient, knowledgable and a complete professional. She does not do shortcuts to learn, she will teach you the structure of the language so that you have a full understanding of how the language works as opposed to just remembering words. My Spanish has made huge improvements over the past 2 years even with just 1 hour a week, I started out only being able to say 'Hola' and 'La Quenta Por Favor' (the bill please) but I am now confident in being able to hold small conversations with locals. Due to the virus I have been unable to visit Spain since I started but I am beyond excited to travel there soon and put all the hard work Corina has been doing with me to good practice. I highly recommend anyone looking for a Spanish teacher to consider Corina no matter what level your Spanish is, you will not regret it. Many thanks, Billy

From David (5/5): I have had weekly one hour tutoring sessions with Corina for 1 month. Corina is very clear in her teaching methods and is very well prepared for each session. The hour session goes very quickly as the tutoring is clear and well presented with much to take in.
The excellent rating is well deserved.

From Helen (5/5): Corina has been an excellent tutor for my daughter while studying for her IB Spanish. She set the tutorials at just the right level, provided some homework but not too much, and was always encouraging. Help with the orals was particularly appreciated.

From Martin (5/5): I was only able to have one lesson with Corina before a change in my circumstances meant that I couldn't continue.
Corina was welcoming and immediately put me at ease. I was very much a beginner and didn't have a lot of Spanish grammar. She is a native speaker and was very patient with my bad pronunciation… I really liked her teaching style. The lesson was well structured and we covered a good amount of work in the time.
If things had been different for me, I would definitely continued with Corina and feel that I would have progressed with her very well.

From Michael (5/5): What a great tutor, really approachable, patient and clear. I would highly recommend her certainly to anyone at my level, beginner!

From Christopher (5/5): Corina responded promptly and we found a perfect time for my lessons. Early experienc ethere is very positive too.

From Ray (5/5): Excellent teacher ,very patient , and a nice person to get on with.

Reply from: Corina: Many thanks for your feedback Ray. I am glad that you are happy with my approach.

From Kate (5/5): Really friendly, put me at ease very quickly, great explanation of what we are learning, the language and background, would recommend to others.

From Nathan (5/5): Corina was helpful, experienced and knew exactly what to focus on to help me do as well as I could in my exam. Would recommend as a sixth form student.

Reply from: Corina: Many thanks for your feedback. It was a pleasure to help you with your IB Spanish oral exam.
