Sylvie makes learning enjoyable- highly recommended!

Making the decision to learn a language can be very intimidating! However, I have been learning Spanish with Sylvie for a few years and what makes Sylvie stand out to me, is her kindness, patience and sense of humour.

She took the time to get to know me and my interests, and integrated them into the lessons, keeping me engaged and excited to learn.

The lessons are stimulating and fun, as she challenges me in different ways by using videos, written stories, audio clips and interactive activities.

She creates a safe learning environment by encouraging me to be curious about my mistakes and not see them failures, which increases my confidence and commitment.

With Sylvie I don’t feel like I am just learning words but exploring a new culture; its traditions, its people, its food and its identity, all expressed through language.

"I highly recommend learning Spanish with Sylvie . 

My son learnt with Sylvie in order to go to Argentina to teach skiing. Through his lessons with her he made rapid progress and managed his skiing job.

He encouraged me in retirement to take the plunge and become a language learner. I am pleased I did. 

Every lesson has been fun and tailored to my needs and abilities.In the lessons there has been plenty of time to practice conversation and listening exercises. The grammar has been introduced as needed and explained very clearly. The writing I have done outside of the lessons and the videos I have made for further speaking practice are carefully corrected and explained.

I always look forward to my weekly Spanish lesson .

Learning Spanish with Sylvie has widened my horizons about Spanish speaking cultures . Becoming a language learner has also greatly enhanced my enjoyment of travel to Spanish speaking countries."

"Sylvie has changed my learning experience forever. 

She tailored every session to my hobbies and work in health to help me learn better. I didn't just learn about the Spanish language, I learned about a lifestyle that brings the Spanish culture to life through Sylvie's lovely personality. 

She made me feel comfortable to make mistakes and grow. I taught Sylvie how to make a world class espresso and she taught me how to make her family's secret paella! 

I really enjoy chatting to Sylvie every week! It didn't seem like a chore, and it became easy because I followed her simple instructions. "

"I had such a fun time learning Spanish with Sylvie. 

She is a terrific teacher. After learning the basics, Sylvie tailored the lessons to subjects I am interested in and things that would help me travel. 

I started the lessons because I travel to Mexico fairly regularly to surf and I wanted to be able to chat with the locals. Because of this, my lessons were about renting surfboards, asking about the wave conditions and where good surfing beaches are located. I'm also very interested in food so we focused a lot on names of ingredients and how to get by at the market. 

Learning with Sylvie is really fun, she puts a lot of time and effort into making personalized lessons that will work for you. 

She also loads you up with homework to keep you busy. Videos to watch, exercises to do, a diary to keep. Lessons with Sylvie are a screaming deal. 

You won't be disappointed! "
