-Pavi, Doctor from UK.

"Silvia es una profesora brillante. Ella fue muy paciente. yo creo que mi comprensión de español es mejor desde mi classes con Silvia. yo disfrute mucho mis classes y extrañaré mi tiempo con mi profesora. Me gustaría estudiar más con Silvia en el futuro".

Hannah, a nurse from London

I have been working with Silvia for over a year now. I have never learnt another language and I have dyslexia, which made me feel less confident in my abilities at the beginning. Silvia has always made me comfortable, she brings good humour and alternative learning techniques if I was struggling. She is kind and patient, flexible in her hours, fitting in with my difficult nursing schedule. I wasn't keen on the idea of learning via Skype but it has actually helped me more as as Silvia speaks, she types, so I can both hear the sounds and see the words at the same time. I would recommend her to anyone.

Dr Lisa Searle, Medecins Sans Frontieres.

"Silvia is an excellent teacher. Focussed, patient, and engaged, she tailors classes to her students' individual needs and provides a wonderful learning environment. She was very flexible with timings of classes. We spent 2 weeks together doing one-on-one classes over Zoom, and in this time I was able to upskill my Spanish to a level where I feel much more comfortable living and working in Spanish-speaking environments. She highlights differences between Latin American and Spanish language and also provides homework and resources for self-directed study. I would highly reccommend her as a teacher to others who want to improve their language skills!"
