Spanish is fast becoming one of the most widely-spoken languages in the world, currently third after Chinese and English. In recent years, cheap and regular flights to Spain and the Spanish islands have prompted large numbers of Brits to spend more time in this diverse and beautiful country. Many more have even opted to retire or relocate due to the warm climate, affordable properties and relaxed attitude to life. Also, tourism in Latin America and certain parts of the Caribbean is becoming more commonplace.

Subsequently, UK schools & colleges are starting to recognise that Spanish may be more useful than the traditionally taught French or German. So, whether it is for education, business, pleasure or relocation purposes, there is every reason to learn this vibrant language.

Large adult education classes are not for everyone however and not all schools yet teach Spanish. Some students find Further Education courses daunting and with very large groups it is difficult to obtain 1-1 attention. Many classes try to cater for students with varying abilities of spoken and written Spanish. This can prove frustrating as it hinders the progress of both beginners and more competent speakers. Once again, this is due to the lack of time that a teacher can spend with an individual student.

For this reason private tuition to individuals or small groups is a way of getting quality language teaching to people who may otherwise give up trying. Classes cover all communication skills; reading, writing, speaking and listening comprehension with a focus on conversation but are tailor made to suit the needs of the student. Preparation for GCSE, AS or A level (or other exams) is also available.
