Lighthouse Spanish Academy

I highly recommend this company to anyone serious about learning Spanish. The service is very friendly and professional in every way. I took 10 weekly conversational Spanish classes on line with Carmen in order to gain more confidence after some years of not using Spanish.I was unsure of how well the online scenario would work but Carmen is a very intuitive teacher and expertly tailored the classes to my own personal interests and learning style. She always sent feedback and after class notes very promptly through dropbox and her suggestions for further learning were hugely useful. Best experience of learning Spanish I have ever had - Thankyou Lighthouse and especially Carmen!

I really enjoy my lessons with Lidia. She is an excellent teacher and she brings her knowledge of Spanish history and culture into the lessons which I like very much.The course material is very good and it makes learning fun. Lidia makes sure the lessons are at the right pace for me, and every week we do lots of revision as well as learning new things.I've been having Spanish lessons for about six months and I'm making good progress and gaining more confidence each week.

I have had weekly online conversation classes with Lighthouse for over a year now and I'm really grateful for the support I have received from the academy and from my tutor. My classes with Marina have been extremely valuable in improving my confidence in Spanish as well as being engaging and enjoyable, and she has been so patient and supportive throughout. Communication from Lucía and Marina has been excellent and they have always been understanding about rearranging classes if necessary. I would recommend Lighthouse to anyone looking to improve their Spanish at any level of ability.

I have been having weekly lessons with Lucía and more recently, Lidia for 6 months and it has become the highlight of my week, the lessons are fun, creative and engaging. I am a university student who needed extra help with his studies during the pandemic and they have been brilliant in helping me to improve and become more confident. They’ve instilled within me a hunger to learn and develop my language skills which I was severely lacking before! I would recommend Lighthouse Spanish Academy to any level of Spanish speaker.

Lucia was brilliant - great service and social activities are lovely, its like a little Spanish community in Wales. I will miss it. Highly recommend!

My daughter undertook Spanish classes on both a 1:1 and small group basis. The classes were excellent, building her confidence in a subject that she had previously found very difficult. The results showed in both her attitude to speaking Spanish, which she has begun to enjoy, and in the grades that she has achieved in school. Her tutor, Marina, made lessons engaging and enjoyable. I would highly recommend Lighthouse Spanish classes to anyone.

I have had lessons with The Lighthouse Spanish Academy for nearly 6 months and it has been absolutely brilliant. I have weekly personalised Spanish lessons via Zoom, and it's a real highlight of my week.Lucía and her team are friendly, knowledgeable and encouraging - giving me the confidence boost I needed to push forward my Spanish. Her lessons are engaging and fun, and she's got me talking about topics in Spanish that I can barely talk about in English! It truly feels like talking to an old friend. She tailors the class to my weaknesses and I've made so much progress.Communication with Lighthouse has always been extremely easy, and Lucía has been very flexible around my hectic doctors' rota.I can't recommend this company enough!

My husband and I have been having Spanish lessons with Lucia and then Lidia for a few months now and the progress we have made has been brilliant. Both teachers have put us at ease and made our lessons really varied and enjoyable and the difference it has made to our confidence and ability has been fantastic. Both Lucia and Lidia are patient and make the lessons fun and varied, with lots of different ways of learning, which suit both myself and my husband who have different learning styles. In recent weeks we have changed tutors to have classes with Lidia and she has taken the time to get to know us on a personal level which is helping us learn how to have conversations about things which are relevant to us. We were slightly daunted at the prospect of starting lessons during COVID but the Lighthouse Spanish team are well equipped for online learning and it hasn't been an issue at all. We would really recommend both Lucia and Lidia to anyone who is thinking about learning Spanish.

I have been having 1-2-1 Spanish lessons with Lighthouse Spanish Academy since March '23.I cannot praise my tutor (Lidia) highly enough. She makes the lessons fun & interesting; she is patient and she provides lots of encouragement.Lidia shares a Dropbox folder with me which includes lesson plans, notes from lessons and reading & learning materials. This is incredibly useful for revision between lessons.I looked at other options for Spanish lessons before deciding to choose Lighthouse and I am very happy with my decision.Lucía (the owner) offered me a free online consultation and we discussed what my level of Spanish was at already and what my goals were. This personal touch was what led me to think that Lighthouse would be the best option for me.Lighthouse also have a monthly social meet-up with past & present students. I haven't been able to attend one as yet due to other commitments, but, again, this is not something that you would get from other language schools/tutors.In summary, I highly recommend Lighthouse Spanish Academy.¡Cinco Estrellas!

I undertook weekly lessons online for a year. My Spanish developed from very basic phrases learned on duolingo to a level where I can get by and have basic but meaningful conversations with locals whilst out travelling Central America.I can’t thank Marina enough! The online lessons were interactive and engaging. The lessons were adapted to my circumstances, ability and understanding. My confidence in speaking has grown massively.Marina made me feel settled from the first lesson and used a variety of resources, making online learning feel as comfortable/ easy as a classroom setting.I would definitely recommend Lighthouse Spanish and Marina to anyone wanting to learn/ improve their Spanish
