Craig Grindley

I would fully recommend Craig from Medway Languages Tuition for teaching Spanish. He is prompt, professional, patient, generous in outlook towards students, explains well. I have learnt from him for 18 months and though not a star yet I have much more insight into Spanish than I did before, many lessons when I would have given up prior to lesson, I have come away feeling encouraged and ready to continue in view of conversing with my friends from abroad and hopefully taking a GCSE in due course and getting a really good mark!!! He is very gracious if one doesn't have too much time for a lot of homework in a week...Many thanks Craig.

Estoy aprendiendo a hablar y escribir español con CraigCraig is currently teaching me speak and write Spanish. I have been learning from him for nearly 2 years now and I feel I am making good progress.I originally found Craig's company Medway Languages on Google so was a little nervous and did not know what to expect when I first went.Luckily I found Craig very easy to get along with and this immediately put me at ease with him.He is an excellent teacher and explains things well and works with me at a sensible pace. The work is also set in a way so that remains interesting and you don't lose concentration.Muchas gracias Pablo

Craig is a very patient and kind teacher. My daughter and I have been learning Greek with him since January and enjoy our lessons each week. We would highly recommend learning a language with him.

I am a mature student learning Spanish for the first time with Craig. I was very nervous at first but I am so enjoying the lessons. Craig is extremely patient and is able to adapt lessons to suit me. I am not the fastest of learners and he is happy to keep going over the work with me .I would highly recommend him for anyone who wants to learn a language.

My grandson and I have been learning Spanish with Craig for a few months, I have lived in Spain some years ago so needed a refresher, but my grandson was a complete novice having never studied Spanish before. So it was somewhat tricky for Craig to tailor the course, but he did an excellent job and both of us are benefiting form the course.Craig is very patient and understanding.I would sincerely recommend Medway languages and Craig in particular.Allan Barber

My mother and I have been learning Greek with Craig for a year now – and we’ve already come so far from just knowing the simple kalimera! Craig is a great tutor, even virtually due to the pandemic! Craig focuses on what you want to get from learning a language – for us that’s to be able to speak and have conversations with our Greek friends, but not read the alphabet (although he can teach this of course!). No two lessons are the same and Craig does not use a simple textbook approach – he tailors it for what we want to know and how we best learn, taking time to make sure we understand. We would recommend Craig to both complete novices like us, or those who want to continue to develop their skills.

After a year of lessons with him, I would highly recommend Craig as a Spanish tutor. He tailors his teaching to the individual, he is patient, good natured and very encouraging. His teaching style is professional yet relaxed and friendly, which gives confidence to his students to 'have a go' without fear of ridicule or censure when making mistakes. He is always fully prepared for lessons with content which is challenging but often amusing, which makes it much easier to remember. I wish my language tutors at school had been half as good, or as much fun! Thank you Craig.

Myself and my fiancee have been learning Spanish with Craig for about a year. We are mature students and this is the first time we have attempted to seriously learn a language. Craig has managed to adapt our lessons to suit both me and my partner even though we have different learning styles. Craig's lessons are both challenging and interesting, we are enjoying the learning experience. Craig is very patient and moves at our pace, he is also happy to go over previous lessons if we ask him too. We would highly recommend Craig to anybody wishing to learn Spanish.

I have been learning Spanish with Craig for just over two years now. I started as a complete beginner not knowing a single thing about Spanish. Now I am able to have conversations with local Spanish people when on holiday and although I am not always 100% correct, I am able to converse and understand in many situations and it is lovely to get to a stage where I am able to use my Spanish skills. I really enjoy lessons, despite not being the fastest of students or having any particular talent for learning languages.I have no hesitations in recommending Medway Languages Tuition to learn a language.

I have been tutored by Craig for over a year now. I started off with Duolingo but soon found that it lacked when it came to conversations in a more natural setting and was also American Spanish rather than European!Craig has been very patient with my terrible memory and I definitely feel like I've learnt a lot. I started knowing one-or-two common words or phrases to being confident in reading Spanish and starting to understand it in conversation.There are regular worksheets that I can go back to either with Craig or in my own time, as well as a wealth of colloquial knowledge that Craig has from living in Spain which you just don't get from an app.I highly recommend his services,. If you really want to learn a new language; he makes it interesting and fun to do and you can really see your progression over time.
