Vanesa tailors Spanish classes for your needs and interests. I have had lessons that have ranged from watching cartoons in Spanish through to practicing job interviews. I have been introduced to the complexities of the Subjunctive tenses through formal classes but also learnt through conversation and discussing issues of the moment such as the world cup. Vanesa is always enthusiastic and flexible to fit in around my schedule. I highly recommend Vanesa to those who want to learn Spanish for whatever purpose you have.

I have had the opportunity of improving my Spanish level (conversational and grammar) with Vanesa. She is very professional and organized preparing tailored lessons for my level and working with my common mistakes. Even before taking my first lesson, she was very interested in understanding my needs and goals. As a Portuguese native speaker, it´s also important for me to learn the similarities and false friends between the 2 languages. Patient and friendly teacher with a flexible schedule. I have no doubts in recommending her.

Vanesa´s course has been an amazing find for me. I´ve spent an immense amount of time looking for a course that can be tailored to my goals, which is exactly what Vanesa specializes in. I´ve been able to work with Vanesa on all kinds of projects, from working on technical Spanish for engineering to translating technology courses from English to Spanish. She´s an invaluable resource, always flexible fitting classes into my crazy schedule, and always providing me new ideas and a fresh perspective. I couldn´t recommend this course enough.

Si tuviera que definir a Vanesa en una palabra la definiría como mi mentora. La encontré por casualidad en Google, estaba buscando una persona que me ayudara a mejorar mi marca personal y al mismo tiempo el español. Desde el principio entendí que ella era la persona adecuada para mis necesidades. Gracias a Vanesa empecé a crear mi perfil de Linkedin, a definir mi marca personal y a entender como usar de una manera correcta esta red profesional. Después de meses investigando, siguiendo las páginas de los influencers de Linkedin, pidiendo conecciones, etc conseguí tener en dicha red 250 contactos (empecé con unos 40), pero sobretodo mi autoestima y confianza usando esta red aumentó muchísimo. Las clases con ella son muy divertidas, es muy professional, no te aburres, te motiva y al mismo tiempo haces clases de español, de LinkedIn y Marketing. Recomiendo Vanesa porque sus clases son muy adaptadas a tus necesidades y dado que ella tiene mucha experiencia en diferentes sectores puedes aprovechar mucho de esto a tu favor.

I have been taking Spanish lessons with Vanesa for over a year and a half now. My experience with the Spanish sessions has been nothing but positive. Prior to my sessions with Vanesa my Spanish was so-so and I was more comfortable writing & reading it but very nervous about speaking it aloud, particularly to native Spanish speakers. Since my sessions with Vanesa I feel that my Spanish skills have really improved, especially with regards to my speaking and listening skills. I feel more confident speaking it and am a lot less nervous about 'giving it a go'. One of the things that I like most about the sessions is how tailored they are to my needs. Vanesa is very good at picking up on areas of weakness and tailoring the sessions accordingly. She is also incredibly patient, understanding, motivating and helpful. If I ever find myself getting frustrated when 'looking for a word' or 'struggling to find the correct words for what I want to say' she reminds me to breathe, take my time and focus on the 'main point' that I'm trying to get across. I also really like how flexible the sessions are. I lead quite a busy life and I find it super helpful not to be 'locked in' for a set day, time and place but rather to be able to fit a session in from the comfort of my own home at a time that suits me best. I would highly recommend Vanesa as a Spanish teacher to anyone and everyone who is keen on learning and/or improving their Spanish. Ella es una maestra fantastica! 🙂

As an adult intermediate Spanish learner, the skill I struggle with the most is speaking. I studied the grammar but couldn’t string together more than a few sentences. Vanesa has been amazing at reducing my anxiety around speaking, and building my confidence and ability in this area. Our weekly online lessons are a safe and supportive environment to practice everyday conversations in full immersion – something I didn’t think I could do! Vanesa makes lessons fun and engaging, and is highly skilled at tailoring her approach to match my specific needs and learning style. It is rare to find a Spanish teacher in Sydney who is so effective and affordable. As a result, I always finish lessons with a sense of accomplishment and with plenty of useful feedback to consider. I highly recommend Vanesa to other learners who want to take their Spanish level beyond the textbooks.
