Ester Soler Juárez

“Ruth provided me 1:1 bespoke Spanish pronunciation training for a recorded music project I was preparing as well as developing my beginner’s Spanish. Her diligence and encouragement, as well as flexibility for accommodating my needs, led me to be very well prepared when I hit the runway in Argentina. I followed up this bespoke service by attending Ruth's evening classes (via HeadStart Spanish) and very much enjoyed learning with her in a classroom situation too.”

Anthony Mullen

“Ruth has taught us Spanish for a few years. Her lessons are always well prepared and pre-planned to our needs and ability. We have enjoyed learning Spanish at a pace that suits us.”

Jim and Catherine Bilsborough

“Ruth has been very helpful in making my visits to Spain very enjoyable. I am now able to understand sufficient Spanish to get by as a result of her tuition in a one-to-one weekly lesson. I would recommend her to anyone wanting to learn Spanish.”

Paul Nesbitt

"Ruth's lessons are thoughtfully and well prepared. She conscientiously supports and gives much positive encouragement in the learning process. I particularly enjoyed the Conversation classes in the Summer - muchas gracias Ruth!"

Rosie Kenningham

"We have an excellent tutor in Ruth and her lessons are very enjoyable. I would never have dreamed before I joined the U3A that I would be conjugating Spanish verbs at my age!"

Robin Jones, U3A, Chiswell Green

"I had previously taken group lessons elsewhere and didn't make any progress. However switching to 1-2-1 lessons with Ruth took my Spanish to another level. She gave a lot of encouragement and the structure of her lessons enabled me to see the progress I was making. After a few months, I visited Spain and my Spanish friends were amazed at the improvement in my vocabulary and verb usage across the tenses. I would recommend Ruth to anyone looking to develop their Spanish in a friendly and motivating environment."

Danny Crowe

"I had tried private tutors and group lessons but it wasn't until I started having Spanish lessons with Ruth that I really enjoyed learning and my progress improved dramatically. I highly recommend Ruth to anyone wishing to learn Spanish. Sadly my lessons came to an end when I moved to the Midlands."

Tom Tomlinson

"Ruth provided Spanish tuition to our son for both IGCSE and Pre-U. Her preparation and tuition were excellent and we were extremely pleased. With Ruth's support, our son obtained an A* at IGCSE and a D1 at Pre-U (the highest possible grade, higher than an A* at A Level). We would unhesitatingly recommend her."

David and Heather (St Albans)

"A great Spanish tutor in the St Albans area, always happy to help. Ruth is patient and her lessons are really useful for learning new parts of Spanish such as tenses, verbs etc but she's also great at tailoring her lessons to areas of improvement. I struggled with my A-level Spanish but having the support and 1:1 tuition outside of the classroom helped to build confidence. I would highly recommend Ruth to anyone wanting to build on their current level of Spanish or a total beginner."
