My classes with Lucía have been amazing and have given so much confidence.The lessons flew by as we discussed a whole host of topics, picking up useful vocabulary along the way, and all of my mistakes were noted and explained. All of the resources were stimulating and modern.The result of this is that my Spanish has improved dramatically and I feel confident expressing my views. She is such a wonderful teacher and a truly lovely person and I cannot recommend her classes highly enough.
