    My child had lost a lot of confidence with GCSE Spanish and Luis has been really good at building this back up. He is very patient and takes time to get to know the pupil so that they get the best out of the tutoring sessions. We are very happy with how things are going.

    So far all good, my son has just had few sessions with Luis but he's happy and engaging well with Luis' teaching, which is important. Luis is approachable and was very patient with us when trying to fit a date and time which would suit us all. When we had the initial meeting to discuss my son's Spanish level etc, he made very good recommendations and point out what we needed to ask to the school in order to find out what type of GCSE exam he'd be having so he would then be able to teach that particular type of exam and meet its structure/requirements. I'd recommend Luis. He's very professional and works towards the individual needs of the student.

    Firstly Luis is respectful and communicates well. He has made a great impact on my son after a few lessons. My son gets on well with Luis, likes the learning pace set, including tailored revision for the week. Luis quickly assessed by son's ability and communicated goals for the year which has motivated my son to put the work in. We can tell Luis has a structured approach and is focused on achieving a GCSE result my son can be proud of. Great Spanish Teacher

    Really good start from Luis who is helping my son with his GCSE Spanish. My son is starting to enjoy the subject and my only regret is not having lessons with Luis earlier.

    Luis has been working with our daughter for a few months now and in that time we have seen her confidence and competency in mastering Spanish grow. She has found that Luis’s support has improved her overall understanding and performance, which has positively impacted her at school. Luis is always friendly, kind and flexible and we would recommend him highly.

    My son Lewis and Luis are clearly developing a bond and I can see they work well together. Lewis is definitely making more of an effort whereas 4/5 weeks ago his interest had waned. Luis has opened his mind a little more wish is pleasing to see and hear.

    We are extremely happy with our daughter’s progress. Initially my daughter was stressed about the Spanish language. Now we can see that, she is very confident and getting good grades for GCSE Spanish language.

    Luis has able to help my son whose language is not his strength to fall in love with Spanish. He helped him build a solid foundation and interest in the language. He has been an excellent tutor to my son and I will highly recommend

    Luis has been a wonderful tutor and provided structured, practical and useful tutoring and Spanish practice to support a GCSE resit. He is highly engaged, constructive in feedback and provided a great way to practice speaking and listening, building confidence. He tailored his tutoring to support weaker areas and provided additional learning resources outside of lessons. His communication is excellent, and he is highly recommended.

    Luis has been an amazing tutor for my son, helping ease his anxiety and reducing the stress of preparing for an A Level in the middle of a pandemic! Being out of the class for so long and with online lessons restricted, my son has missed out on getting sufficient speaking practice and having this "one on one" tuition with a Spaniard has really helped build his confidence no end. From the very start Luis has made him feel comfortable and relaxed. He has helped with grammar, tenses, vocabulary, speaking, essays and probably much more. He`s been well prepared for every lesson (even setting tasks before the first lesson), setting additional homework and helping with school homework too. He goes the extra mile, even responding to queries between lessons (and very quickly) and my son doesn`t have a bad word to say about him. We would not hesitate in recommending him and we are only sorry that we didn`t find him sooner!

    Luis tutors our yr 10 daughter for her Spanish GCSE. He is doing a really great job, and she is gaining in confidence. He is always well prepared, and his lessons are fun as well as informative. We are impressed with his professionalism and the progress our daughter is making. Luis is a good fine!

    Fantastic teacher. Knows how to handle children at any level and age. My kids loved him from the first minute. Very thorough, managed to fit a lot into a lesson and extremely concise yet fun using all sorts of tactics to get the best out of the children. Very very highly recommend.
