Adult Spanish Learning
It's never too late to learn Spanish.
Whether you're picking up a language for the very first time, dusting off the Spanish you learned at school decades ago, or simply want a new challenge, one-to-one lessons let you learn at exactly the pace that suits you — no classroom of strangers, no fixed curriculum that doesn't fit where you're actually starting from.
I'm Veronica MacLarnon, a native Spanish speaker from Guatemala and a qualified teacher with over 20 years' experience. I teach Spanish as it's spoken across Spain and throughout Latin America, so wherever your interest in the language comes from — travel, family, heritage, or just love of the language itself — we build lessons around that.
Wherever you're starting from
Complete beginners — starting from nothing, at a pace that never feels rushed
Returning learners — picking up Spanish again after years away, rebuilding confidence as much as vocabulary
Improvers — already have some Spanish and want to get genuinely comfortable using it
There's no fixed course to fit yourself into. Lessons are shaped around what you want from the language — whether that's conversational confidence for travel, a deeper connection to family or heritage, or simply the enjoyment of learning something new.
Relaxed, supportive, entirely at your own pace
Adult learning should feel nothing like a school classroom. There's no pressure, no judgement, and no such thing as a silly question — just steady, supportive progress, one lesson at a time.
Face-to-face or online
Lessons take place either face-to-face at my studio near Great Missenden, or nationwide over Microsoft Teams — whichever suits you. Many students mix the two depending on their week.
Pricing
Individual lessons (any level): £30 per lesson
Your first lesson is always a free trial, so you can see how it feels before committing to anything further.
