About Marisol

My name is Marisol, I am a native Spanish speaker and a qualified Spanish language teacher.

I teach to both adults and teenagers. You can study with me to prepare for a general qualification course, and I also teach travel oriented conversational Spanish. What matters most to me is that you feel relaxed, enjoy yourself while you learn, keep your brain active and at the same time make friends while you study. I do take care that you make good progress, and are able to be confident to use your Spanish in your next holiday or job.

I am offering two group courses in 2024, the beginner’s course perfect if you know a little bit of Spanish or are learning from scratch, and a second year Spanish course for those with already some knowledge. Please see details below and get in touch!
