Claudia is a delight. Lessons are fun but also constructive with good interactive notes which support each lesson. The videos and extra documents are very helpful.

It took me a little while to chose Claudia as there were many to chose from. From the reviews and being able to accommodate my times after 5 during the week suited me. I've now had 3 1 hour Spanish lessons and I really love it. Claudia explains everything in detail to what we are going to do and we **E-mail Address Removed**docs. the date and time is really suitable to me and although Claudia does not live in the UK this does not make any difference to me. I have been doing Spanish for the last few months with Duo Lingo and Claudia is so great at correcting my pronunciations as picked up bad habits. We have a lot of fun together and we actually share a lot common interests (although Claudia can actually sing). Claudia makes me as much as possible speak in Spanish which is exactly what I need. I know many words but struggle putting them into a sentence. Claudia a great tutor and makes me feel at ease. Nothing is too much trouble and goes at a pace I understand and like to learn from. I have booked a block of 6 lessons and I am sure this will continue.
I'm so happy you're enjoying the lessons! Thanks for taking the time to write some feedback :)

Claudia you are such a brilliant teacher. Thank you so much. You are so warm , generous and supportive which makes the lessons feel very collaborative . I am so, so bad at learning languages but you have the patience of a saint! I also love the way you make our sessions feel so bespoke - teaching me things that will be genuinely useful and interesting specifically to me rather than just rolling out a standard Italian course. Your knowledge of grammar and structure and the history of language etc is faultless and I have really enjoyed flexing that side of my brain too. I love the extra content you share with me to practise outside of our lessons - it feels like a massive bonus that I would never have expected. I would highly recommend you to anyone at any level who is looking to learn a foreign language- and want to thank you so much for everything you are doing to help me . Grazie
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this, it really means a lot. I'm so glad you feel this way about the lessons, I love having you as a student! x
From Lucy
Claudia is a friendly, well priced, experienced and fun teacher. She tailors her lessons to the student’s interests and level and offers additional study material via her youtube channel. 100% recommended.
¡Muchas gracias querida Lucy! Es un gusto ser tu profesora :)
From Georgia
Claudia is an excellent tutor. I am 5 sessions into a weekly 30 minute session and feel like I have learnt a lot already. Not only are the sessions themselves very useful and informative, but the homework set and the videos she records for her students to watch provide even more material to help improve in your own time. Highly recommend! Grazie mille Claudia!
I'm glad you're finding the lessons useful, I'm really enjoying teaching you. Grazie mille a te!
From Gabi
I highly recommend Claudia for language lessons - I am having so much fun learning Italian with her. She is warm and friendly and funny. She paces the lessons perfectly and also in the way that she speaks, so that I can keep up. Her communication style is exceptionally clear and she is patient and skilful at checking how I understand her. Claudia's lessons are thoughtfully planned to match my learning style and requirements.
From Beverly
Amazing professional and friendly tutor - my son is making excellent progress in Spanish in all areas and is excited to be doing the lessons with Claudia; she is so engaging and really in tune with our son. Her linguistic ability in several languages makes her very aware of learner’s needs. We would recommend her highly! Thank you Claudia!
From Abul
Claudia is very efficient, also she is flexible when needed. My daughter liked her teaching felt more confident than before.
From Ganesh
Claudia has been a fantastic teacher for Mihir, she helped develop his understanding of Spanish grammar and vocabulary as well as exploring the culture in Spanish-speaking countries. Thank you, Claudia.
Thank you for your kind words Ganesh. Mihir is an awesome student, very dedicated and it's a pleasure to teach him.
From Bella

Thanks for your very kind words, it's a pleasure teaching your daughter. I'm looking forward to our next lesson ☺️
From Margaret
Claudia's responses have been excellent. She rapidly established a warm, and positive relationship, noting carefully my needs, concerns and aims in taking my Italian studies further. Arranging our first tutorial has been straightforward, and I now look forward to our conversations.
Thanks for your kind words Margaret, I'm also really looking forward to starting lessons! Un abbraccio x
From James
Claudia is fantastic. The best of the best! After I got engaged to my Italian fiance I started having weekly Italian lessons for maybe 6 months to a year before our wedding. I had tried to make progress with duolingo and attempting (badly) to talk to my fiance to learn what I could so I could talk to her family. I was failing miserably until Claudia came along. She is patient and yet she pushed me on to improve and week by week my language and understanding increased. By the time we were about to be married I could understand and contribute to the conversations with my fiance's family. Then Claudia helped me to write my groom's speech in Italian. Giving that speech was a moment I will never forget and I have Claudia to thank for all her help to get me to that moment. Grazie mille Claudia!
I'm so glad you found the lessons helpful, I really enjoyed them too! Thanks for your kind words, caro James :)
From James
Claudia acted as my one-on-one tutor in spoken Spanish once a week over a period of several months in 2018. My purpose was to regain fluency that had been lost through decades of disuse. It took Claudia only a very short time to grasp the whole position and see what was needed, and taught with great flexibility and skill. She was always immediately responsive to particular needs and ad hoc lesson plans that I devised, ranging from ordinary conversation to the analysis of early Spanish poetry through the medium of modern colloquial Spanish, and even on one occasion attempting – rather successfully in my view - a translation of a Shakespeare sonnet together. Her very advanced and nuanced knowledge of English was often useful, as she was able to give me the exact Spanish equivalent when I was stuck for a word or expression. I am qualified as a teacher of English as a foreign language (University of London Cert. Ed. 1970), and years ago was a British Council officer supervising and training English language teachers in Tehran. From my professional background as well as the direct personal experience of the benefit I derived from learning with Claudia, I can say that she is a natural teacher with a high degree of innate skill. She is also a thoroughly delightful person on the purely human level. Our sessions together were both personally enjoyable, and thoroughly useful from the practical aspect. James Whelan
Thank you so much for your kind words, James. It was a joy teaching you.
From Lewis
Wow! what a great tutor, Claudia made me feal really at ease during those first difficult lessons where I didn’t know much spanish, now it’s like talking to a spanish friend. It’s lifetime project learning a new language but I couldn’t have got this far without her help and dedication. All the lessons with her have given me the confidence to put myself in many situations surrounded by spanish nationals and be able to communicate what I want to say :) I’m super happy I chose the correct tutor on this language journey
Muchas gracias Lewis! Como siempre, un placer :D
From Chris
I don’t know where to begin as Claudia is amazing at teaching Italian. She tailors my lessons to suite my level (beginner) and creates innovative games/stories which really take the pressure off and makes the whole process so enjoyable. She also explains cultural differences which really help you when you are trying to fully understand a new language. I personally can’t thank her enough for giving me the confidence to try and speak Italian more and more every time I visit Italy. Grazie mille Claudia. A presto
Thanks for your kind words Chris, it's a pleasure teaching you!
From Marion
I have had just one lesson with Claudia and have found her so easy to pick up the basic Spanish. Although I have a long way to go I am sure with her expertise I will eventually to able to have a conversation in Spain
From Tim
Excellent, has a great way of explaining things, and is happy to answer any questions! Very reliable
From Cliffy
Hi Claudia, Apologies for not being in touch but have been away working several times since seeing you. Regrettably at the moment have had to cease the lessons due to financial reasons and invest what little cash I have in sorting me knees out for the marathon in April. I would like to continue soon as I can tho, till then , Adios Senora , x
