Bárbara Romero

Bárbara has been my teacher for the past two years, and I can easily say she is the best language teacher I ever had! She is super-friendly, very knowlegeable, and flexible. You learn a lot even when it does not feel like learning at all. And if you feel you need more work in a specific area, she always has an amazing exercise at her fingertips. She has brought me from nothing to a functional level incredibly quickly. Visiting Spain now is totally different. And she mixes in lessons on Spanish culture along the way. If there were six stars to give her, I would!

I've had the best time learning Spanish with Bárbara since May. I'm surprised by how much I have learnt. We have practised speaking, worked on my understanding and listening skills, edited my writing and completed reading comprehension exercises. It has been an absolute joy to learn with Bárbara and I'm looking forward to completing my summer homework and looking back on what I've learnt. Thanks so much for helping me learn on the start of my Spanish journey- I've had so much fun!!!

Barbara is an excellent teacher! She uses real-life situations and topics I’m interested in to make the learning applicable and easier to remember.

Bárbara is a very friendly and cool teacher that you would be very comfortable having lessons with (basically like learning with a very intelligent friend), and a very knowledgeable teacher that you would basically think that "what does she not know about this world??" Her lessons are always very in depth that you will be able to really link everything together at the end of a topic, instead of just having some basic ideas of the topic. She has very unique ways of teaching that really allow you to learn stuff literally completely natually, basically knowing and being able to apply the knowledge of a certain topic before you even realise it! Her lessons never fails to fascinate me as well (basically my mouth would be wide open at least twice every lesson like this :OO)!! (These comments applies to both spanish language lessons and cultural/lit lessons)

After my first lesson with Bárbara, I’m thoroughly impressed by how quickly she adapted to my needs, goals, and aspirations! She immediately created a welcoming atmosphere, so much so that I found myself focused on expressing my thoughts and feelings rather than just translating words into Spanish. The conversation felt incredibly natural as the words and use of expression came effortlessly to mind rather than struggling to find the right words while attempting not to lose my train of thought during the process. As someone working hard to progress from a B2 to a C1 level, I can already tell that Bárbara will be an invaluable part of that journey. Thanks again!

Barbara is fantastic! She directed the lesson in conjunction with me so that I was able to ask questions, share my background and learning goals, and tailor a program to meet my needs. I couldn’t be more pleased.
