What other students think…

“I have been attending Adam and Laura’s Spanish classes for nearly a year and they have far exceeded my expectations. The classes are friendly, fun, engaging and well structured and I have been really pleased with my progress learning the language. A highlight of my week!”

Emily Cropton

“I sincerely recommend Spanish classes run by Adam and Laura. They are informative and fun, well-structured and relaxed, rich in new material – vocabulary, grammar, new constructs – and at the same time relaxed and unpressurized. In every session we have games, jokes and a lot of laughter. The groups are small and the participants are supportive of one another. You learn easily and progress steadily. Five stars”

Magdalena Thomson

“Before joining Adam and Laura’s Beginner’s course I used Duolingo. Since starting the course I believe I have progressed by leaps and bounds. I am now looking forward to the Pre Intermediate course. Thank you for all your support and help”

Stuart Muir

““The course has been great, offering lots of opportunity to have conversations, with fun games and lots of laughs. So much more interactive than Duolingo, would absolutely recommend.“

Sue Barclay

“Welcoming, friendly and relaxed! An excellent, very well structured course which I can highly recommend”

Kirsty McIntosh

“I started as a complete beginner and I am very pleased with my progress. If you’re thinking of learning Spanish I can recommend Marchando Spanish. Laura and Adam are lovely and excellent teachers”

Janet Houten

“I have found Laura and Adam’s Spanish courses a tremendous help with grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation. I have over the years tried various Spanish books and CDs but none have been as easy to follow and helpful as these Spanish courses”

Martin Russell

“The course has been great so far. Adam is a great teacher who has been really engaging and making learning Spanish fun and inclusive. The course is taught at a really good pace and has allowed me to gain more and more confidence each week.”

Rachael Steven

“I would like to thank Laura for her continued support. My understanding of the Spanish language has increased greatly. She is an excellent teacher and this is the best way to learn Spanish.”

Harry Lloyd

“I highly recommend Marchando Spanish. I am surprised at the speed we have learned things, so much so I can now feel much more confident in communicating when in Spain. It has been so nice to make new friends and acquaintances in our weekly meetings. For anyone who’s serious about learning Spanish, or even just for fun, there‘s no better way to learn than with the professional and holistic support from Marchando Spanish.”

Mark Taylor

“Very well run, fun and relaxed. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to start learning Spanish.”

Richard Turton

“A well structured but flexible approach means that these courses cater for the needs of the students. Moving at a pace which suits us means being challenged but not bored. The focus is on talking and listening which was exactly what I was looking for rather than a more academic, writing based course.”

Jacqueline Easton

“Adam is an excellent, gentle and encouraging teacher and he makes the classes fun. Online resources, including audio of Adam & Laura speaking in Spanish, are provided to use between lessons. I haven’t learned a language for many decades and I was quite nervous to start but I am very glad I have. I couldn’t recommend Adam & Laura more highly.”

Linda Kirby

“Adam and Laura are great tutors. They provide a relaxed and really friendly way to learn a new language. I would recommend that everyone should try. It really is addictive and really helps when visiting a Spanish speaking country.”

Kenneth Scott

“Really enjoying the course. I am a complete beginner. Would recommend to anyone looking to be able to make themselves understood in Spain.”
