Montse is the best Spanish teacher you could ask for! She is incredibly organized, punctual, and possesses outstanding teaching skills. She inspired and motivated me to work hard, which led to excellent GCSE results in Spanish. Her lessons are always engaging, lively, and enjoyable. She takes the time to explain new concepts clearly while encouraging me to explore new ideas, helping me truly master Spanish grammar and punctuation.

From the beginning of year 7, Spanish was one of the hardest subjects to learn for me; I often felt demotivated in the subject and had no intent of studying it as a GCSE. However my spark for the subject truly ignited after being tutored by Monste. I was made aware of how great of a language it really is, and how easy it was to learn all thanks to her teaching. Every lesson was tailored to my needs to ensure I made the best use of my time and all of my problems were heard by her and dealt with - greatly strengthening my ability in spanish. She made sure I fully understood any questions and problems I had by explaining the solution in different ways. Her patient way of teaching coupled with the regular homework given to me every week to keep me from forgetting words and tenses learnt that day - gave me a sound understanding of the language. All thanks to her diligent teaching I was then able to achieve a grade 9 in my GSCE spanish exams. Monste had completely changed my perspective of the language and I would highly recommend her to anybody struggling with learning Spanish.

Montse is fantastic ! My daughter has been having lessons for over a year with Montse to help her prepare for her Spanish GCSE. She is always there to offer advice, guidance and encouragement. My daughters confidence in Spanish has grown so much all thanks to the help of Montse. She is so enthusiastic, the lessons always well planned and she goes above and beyond to help my daughter. I am so glad that we found Montse. Don't look anywhere else, Montse is simply the best !
